FINALLY....a DRIVER!
As many of you know, we've added yet another GTV to the stable. The difference between this one and the other two is that not only is this one in one piece, it RUNS!!  The car is a 1969 Euro 1750 GTV with a Frankurt, Germany delivery, originally painted in English Anthracite (AR736) and has an amaranth interior. The only things that don't work are the fan (needs a new switch) and the interior lights. Everything else functions as intended, even the drop-in lighter!  The plan is to attend to the few rust issues only after one of the other GTVs is running.
Will post more pics when I get them.

Sweeeeet!
It looks great. If you can manage to collect and "refresh" a few more, you could get all the years, and have a little museum!
I'm glad you're back behind the wheel...

Well done, old bean!!!
It's great to know that now you'll be actually e-x-p-e-r-i-e-n-c-i-n-g the same little problems that you keep helping everybody else out with!
And if you happen to be cruising along looking for somewhere to go...how about a little run down here to the Beach? I bet you and yer squeeze could use a little sea-side R&R! I have a bed, some great food I'll cook myself and a beverage (or two) of your choice ready for y'all anytime!
Heck, I might even roll up my sleeves and help tighten some of those nuts, studs and clamps that have surely loosened up through the years!
Congratulations Jim...a very well-deserved prize you've got there!

Jim,
That's a beauty, never seen a GTV with that colour combination before, she looks very elegant. Many congratulations!
Alex.

Congratulations Jim! Looks like a fantastic car. Can't wait to see it sometime!
BTW, are those Maine license plates? Did you drive it down? That would be a fun trip in a GTV
