John. It is almost certainly the same car John. Andy Flexney owned it for 30 years before my custodianship and in most of that time when Andy worked in Germany, it was LHD and German registered. The car was built as LHD and was originally exported to Canada. Andy did a huge amount in it covering 240,000 miles including the Monte, Le Jog, 10 Countries etc. It's history is mind blowing and the car has featured in countless magazine article. Andy was a meticulous record keeper and I have inherited the huge and impressive box full of its history. To be honest, I feel the weight of the responsibility of taking it on. It really is a very special car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chilliman Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 What a beautiful car & a lovely history John, I'm looking forward to seeing it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Morrison Posted May 30, 2023 Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 Long time since I saw it at least 20 years I would think and still remember the impression it left. It was on the Sunday at The Punchbowl at Askam near Penrith. Enjoy that very special car John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JK Bonnett Posted May 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2023 It really is a very special car and I have promised Andy and his lovely wife Jutta that I will give it a good home and cherish it as they have. We are off this weekend in the TR to a Golden Wedding celebration in Bedfordshire followed on Monday 5th by a run through the Cotswolds to Ross on Wye where we shall be centred for a week. Lunch is booked on the Monday (5th) at the Fosseway Garden Centre, Moreton in Marsh and I'd be delighted to meet up with any members living in that area if they fancy it. We are also off to the Isle of Man in September, not quite the frenetic activity that it's used to but I am twenty years older than Andy. Well that's my excuse anyway Anyone interested in meeting up either in Moreton or Ross please drop me a PM Quote Link to post Share on other sites
