Well I'm going to pick this lovely 140 up on the weekend It's car number ?? erm I've totaly lost count but its got to be around 20 ish now. And soem of you guys think you have it bad

Is that french plate?

Yep french plate. The car is still registered in france but has been in the UK for a while. I'll have to register it here once I've got it all sorted.

144, 142 or 145?

Class. Show us more when you've got it, I really like these.

yeah I'm with John on this one , looks great does it need much/any work

Its a 142
Body work is supposed to very clean and no rust problems. It has a B20 single carb so should go quite well. I'll post some pics after I collect it on Subday.

Very nice, I'd love a 142.. or even a 242

Collected the car today. It was to dark to take an pics when we got back so I'll have do it on later in day light.
The car is very solid with only a small patch of rust on each rear wheel arch. A couple of blemishes on the paint will need sorting and then should last a while.
For MOT I'll need to fit RHD head lights, new tyres, new mirrors and get the brakes working properly and any other bits I find.

I just found an advert for this car - looks very nice!

Well here goes then



















And the rust is here



And here

BIG JEALOUSY.

Looks like a good one man, oddly enough there's a 140 in a scrappy near me and it seems to be rust free. Now you've got me thinking of saving it.

If its not rusty then it has to be worth saving. Most 140's over here end up rotten to buggery.
