Austrian Gendamerie Book.

Post by Helen »

Larry was dead chuffed to find while browsing An American Web Site, a book all about the Austrian Gendamerie transportation 1945-1975. He ordered it in the small hope that it might have a picture of our car in it.

imagine our suprise when it arrived and we saw the front cover.

Yup, thats our car in the 60's being driven along a dusty road 8)

Nothing that a cheap desktop scanner, some OCR software and Google translation can't fix. It might not be 100% correct, but you'll at least get a good idea of what's written.
