Bonjour all,
I was following this german Bag on ebay, which looks in need of some kind attention to get it back to looking nice again (...a Lamborgini badge!!! )

But I dont speak much deutsche, I worked out it had a brake problem,needed a trailer and a few other things wrong. But I am struggling with the translation...anyone think they could pass an eye over the ad and give me a synopsis?
( the auction closed but I think it may re appear sometime...)

Cheers

I think I already saw it a couple of years ago.
No battery, Austrian papers, ...

Look at the gear linkage. This is not standard. It looks like a mix with other types of Talbot gear linkage

Thanks Bagheera Be,
excellent spotting!
I noticed the photos are dated from january, so I guess it was for sale then too.
,..It seems it would need more restoration work than at first appears....

....But I do like series 1 bananas..

It is not absolutely clear from the pics but it looks as if the rear side window has been replaced with a metal sheet. Could be painted.
Wheels are not standard of course. I guess it all depends on how much that needs repairing on the chassie. It is probably a body off resto. Consider also that the interior needs new upholstery. If it shows up again talk to the seller and give a low offer directly he seemed to be short on storage space for his cars.

no battery, austrian papers, brakes are gripped.
that car has been for sale several times now. but without more information about the chassis it will be difficult to get more than these 800 euros ...

1973 is wrong too - the details let know that its a 75 or even 76 model.
