You do like your pictures of the Sheppy bridge.

The A249 is my local burn-up strip & the bridge is about the only land mark in the area.

Lovely car congratulations. I always thought that the 1.7 litre was a VW build by Karman with a flat 4 VW engine.

My A4 is pretty original including the paint otherwise I'd have been Sooooo tempted to have her repainted in A4 Candy Royal Purple which is about as good as it gets colour wise for me.
Oh. and thanks for the parts by the way.

Yours look to be well looked after. I'm afraid my little Puch doesn't make it under the winter sheets and braves the sub zero garage temps.
I gave her a bit of TLC a few years back right up to being a runner but then progress stalled because almost everything is (badly) rusted or broken beyond a reasonable repair.

It’s says Porsche on the engine cover and that’s where I go for parts?
Either way I’m pleased with it.

Just got the wheels from the two H1As I bought off Rick back from Central Brake Services. Rebuilt using all the original parts except for nice new rivetted brake linings machined to match the skimmed brake drums.
