Slightly foolish chat regarding Sunbeam's absolutely mint Millecinquento

 

 

Wow! You are broken my friend!

Apparently there is (was?) one on the side of the road in Glenavy for sale that might be worth a gander depending on your plans for this.

I shall live vicariously through you.

 

For those that dont know, these 1500s (also come out with a 1300 and slightly different trim level) were pretty trick with 4 wheel disc brakes in 1961, and was the basis of the 125, which shares the floorpan and basic suspension design, but with a OHV pushrod engine and column change box.

a. I know, and I’m ok with it. edit: this is also the pot calling the kettle black…

b. I am aware of this. I also became aware of another 1500 5 minutes down the road in a paddock full of dead Mercedes however I dare not breathe a word of this around home til the dust settles…

c. Not so fast mio amico, this bad boy sports aluminium drums out back.

Forgiveness is easier to obtain than permission.
