New member on quest for a car
Hello, after several Italian cars I am looking for a nice 356 (preferably an A but anything considered). I have been to see a few and had one near miss but remain car-less. Budget is not unlimited and wouldnt stretch to that lovely A at Robert Barrie's sadly!

Re: New member on quest for a car
Welcome. Worth speaking to Bob Campbell in the US. That is where I got my A from. PRS, Karmann Konnect in Essex and the classifies on the 356 Registry. Let me know if I can help.

Re: New member on quest for a car
Welcome Jonno1, if you are who I think you are - and even if you are not! Feel free to drop by sometime and have a look at the ivory car - it might be useful for comparisons sake if nothing else. There may be another couple around that I can let you know about in due course too. Best wishes, Robert
