Have you seen her???

Post by 356california »

Hello all.
It's been a while since I visited or posted, but I have some advice....
Don't ever..... Ever sell your cars. The gap left by mine has not been slightly touched by an E34 M5, an 86 rally spec mini, hilux off road monster truck or even V8 mustang.

Nothing has compared to my 356, so.....

I need your help to find it again. Has anyone seen or heard of OTY 831F. Pearlescent red, wide body California with cream interior. I fitted a 1.6 air cooled engine, and deep dish empi wheels. It had a black mohair hood.


The last I heard, it was in South Spain but being sold back to UK market.

Has anyone seen 'my' car!?? Your help is appreciated.

That pic was taken at Weston Hall near Stafford, If I remember correctly it was the day of the Uttoxeter classic car show 2011, I was there in the Mrs mini.
Great looking car I can see why you want her back. Good luck with the search.

That's the one guys. The blonde, you can keep, but I want the car back!

Great photo, no idea how you got it!?

The car needed a bit of work to get it show worthy but that's right, it was the day of the uttoxeter Classic show.

I check ebay regularly!!

One day!

Yes! Took me two years to track a copy of that down. It was built for the drag strip and converted for the road.
Hoping it might turn up at a show this year.

Just read an article in the club magazine which looked like your old car. It's is your old car. It turns out it did go to Spain and is now back in England with it on the cards to go to Australia??
