Hi all,

I am new to this fantastic forum.

I have recently acquired a pristine 58 FC of a great guy. He has spent many years restoring it with no expenses spared. The interior is in tip top condition and as original as when she came out of the production line 8) All parts of the engine was reconditioned but kept in all of the originality of a grey beauty. She was taken back with bare metal procedure from chassis to the under side and resprayed in her original color of India Ivory!!!

Some of you fellas may know this beautiful car, and her great restorer ;) He is a fantastic man, and I have a lot of respect for him.
The car is a tremendous credit to him :o ...RESPECT 8)

Regards,

Champ58FC.
