New 66 owner in the uk
New 66 owner in the uk
Hi all
Just purchased my first 66 .had a few bugs before some earlier some later .
Came across this forum so being a specific 66 one decided to add myself and keep you posted on the car .
I recently purchased it with only 59k from new on the clock , it has not fared quite as well as if it was a Californian 59k car but faired quite well for a uk roads car .
It's had some paint over the wings ,lower door edges etc but still looks great overall in Fontana grey . Still has the og 1300 engine and runs like a Swiss watch . Steers like its power steering with no pulling or effort to move definitely one of the tightest bugs I've ever driven .
Hopefully a pic attached below
