Serge's new cars

Hi
The P76 was delivered this week.
She runs great, 95% faultless mechanicly, the rest of the car only needs minor repairs that for which
I have all the contacts.
She will be one great 76 soon.
Thanks all for your help.

Well my P76 was delivered today its a bit of a wreck.
I will strip all usful parts and dumps the body.
It looked so much better at 50 feet away when looking from the road.
Still I will get some good parts.
Regards Serge




Another car recovered for spares











I also have a small fleet of Citroens which keep me poor, hence a turn in WA to make some bucks and get them all restored and extend the shed.
1925 5CV Citroen roadster
1948 Light 15 Citroen sedan
1974 GS1220 Club Citroen sedan
1974 DSpecial Citroen Sedan
1986 2CV Special Citroen
I even have a 1962 ID19 Citroen Sedan which is number 64 built in Australia, it's a French ID19 Parisienne sedan which was sent to Australia as a kit, but it is just a shell that was stripped for all its parts.
Citroens have suffered like P76 from being unwanted, worthless and stripped for all their parts.
One of these cars I bought for $600 registered and roadworthy, a crying shame for such fine cars.
You can't even sell them for the cost of restoration.
My first love in cars was the P76, we had the country cream deluxe that was due to shipment to the UK.
Some lucky person I hope still has it.
So that's why I am searching for one now.
It wasn't until last month when a friend gave me his Nutmeg Super for nothing that my excitement was rekindled.
The Nutmeg one is only good for stripping sadly, it has no engine and hasn't moved from her parking in the sun in an industrial yard for many years.
Remarkably the white interior is still in good nick, I hope to slowly rejuvenate it and maybe use it in the future.
The old owner used the hub caps on his boat trailer, so I hope to extract them from him.
I've attached the pic from when they gave it to me last month.
It's great to be able to find a person who likes P76, every one tells me I'm an idiot for liking the to biggest lemon cars on the road, but then I look at a falcon or a commodore and don't find anything very attractive about them.
