Cheers, Graham ;) Title: Re: Martin's '59 stock, original FC Post by: Fast_Eddie on August 23, 2004, 09:51:45 PM Martin,
Very nice looking car. Graham, I think I have a NOS coil with that sticker on it. Do you want to borrow it to make a reproduction? Regards Edward Title: Re: Martin's '59 stock, original FC Post by: Martin on August 23, 2004, 09:53:12 PM Graham,
The coil labels might be a bit hard to photograph as they wrap around, but here's a drawing of them. Top: (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v451/lewis1411/Coillabel1.jpg) Bottom: (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v451/lewis1411/Coillabel2.jpg) This is an amazing car. The two spinster sisters who owned it for most of its life kept a diary of every penny/cent they spent (apart from petrol). I've got that diary, along with every service receipt from 1960 to 1986 and every registration and comprehensive insurance renewal for the same period. With this evidence, I can be pretty confident the 71,000 miles showing on the clock is genuine. The paint's not as good as the photos make it look - but it's still pretty good. Martin - Happy Chappy Title: Re: Martin's '59 stock, original FC Post by: graham_fuller on August 23, 2004, 10:00:42 PM Thanks Martin.
And Ed If you have 1 I would like to borrow it. Thanks, Graham Title: Re: Martin's '59 stock, original FC Post by: zulu on August 24, 2004, 12:22:21 AM Martin, Looks like you have scored yourself a great original car there, bonus being spinsters, the back seat must be in top condition too ;) sorry.
But on a serious note, it's always great to get the history with the car, and it sounds like you have struck a goldmine there! Gary Title: Re: Martin's '59 stock, original FC Post by: HAD 708 on August 24, 2004, 02:55:03 AM Martin
Always a great plus to have a history with a car as it makes it that little bit more special.Will we be seeing you at Jindabyne? Brett Title: Re: Martin's '59 stock, original FC Post by: Martin on August 24, 2004, 04:01:13 AM Jindabyne is receiving serious consideration
Title: Re: Martin's '59 stock, original FC Post by: HAD 708 on August 24, 2004, 04:46:02 AM You shoud make the trip if you can as the old girl would love the run and we can never have enough stockies in attendance!
Brett Title: Re: Martin's '59 stock, original FC Post by: mcl1959 on August 24, 2004, 06:49:22 AM Sorry to poor cold water on your sticker repro idea. I have these already in stock.
Price is $10 for the pair as it is a 2 piece sticker as shown by Martin. Regards Ken Title: Re: Martin's '59 stock, original FC Post by: graham_fuller on August 24, 2004, 08:43:47 PM Hey Ken,
