Finally here and here it'll stay till possibly end January depending when my council garage comes through

When I first saw the picture, I was tempted to say 'I hope that citröen doesn't break down', but thought it might be tempting fate...good job I didn't, or I'd be getting the blame ha ha..

Hah, Wednesday now lol. It's the flat bed part that's busted. Solenoid has gone. Bit like when I brought back the red French mg montego turbo, that took weeks after it was picked up

Well it's on its way, but unfortunately the truck brokedown so it's not here till tomorrow

I'd be tempted to pop a few of those disposeable wardrobe dehumidifiers in the car too....shipping containers seem to be pot luck whether they are dry or damp, I was lucky and got one that seemed to be naturally dry, but I insulated it anyway, just in case...some of th ones at work are a bit damp, can't really see what the differenc is either....

[Jeff Turbo]

Yep, with a car cover over it

[Doctordiesel77]

Shipping container?

[Jeff Turbo]

Container all sorted and now ready for Monday, just have to make a ramp to get the car in it

Hi Jeff.

You are correct. I spent most of the summer doing the jobs on the house and maintenance of the day to day cars.

I did acquire another Maestro though! and a new dog.

Nice one lol

Nice one Jeff. Looks a peach and a bonus with a none cracked dash. I look forward to the details of the recommission.

Ta. It's coming to Lincoln on the 10th December atm and going straight into storage until a local garage is available. I'm guessing you haven't finished your Maestro yet?

Yeah it's not bad at all John. I was happy to nearly pay what the owner wanted. With the exception of the bottom of the sills the Body is about 95 percent perfect for a 28 year old car that's been previously restored, it's beginning to get surface rust round the rear screens but nothing major, engine I can get running, headlining is an easy fix as are a couple of other things. Will look good against my red one.

[Doctordiesel77]

Looks pretty good, must have been stored nice and dry I guess...

[Jeff Turbo]

Need a little work, part of bottom the sills, headlining, basic recommissioning. Not run since 2004, one owner from new, couple of small rust spots on the bodywork that I will leave on it. Lovely interior, non cracked dash. Looking forward to getting it here and sorting it out for the spring/summer to go with my red digital dash
