While on a family jaunt to Papamoa last week, Mr Chris Grant was taking photos of trash on the side of the road, and messaged me some pics:
a 1989 Fabryka Samochodów Osobowych (FSO) 125p Pickup, which is a Polish licenced version of a FIAT 125 (Russian Ladas are FIAT 124 based)

These have 125-eque bodies and the preceeding 1300/1500 model running gear
Anyway, i got him to investigate further and he sent me this:
Its got a twin cam it instead of the factory 1500 pushrod (same engine as my 2300 with 2 less cylinders)
Anyway, seems legit and i ring the guy to organise a viewing the following weekend (on my way to wellington) and if (LOL) i buy it, to collect it on the way home a week later.
So thats what happened...
