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

Not worth doing that anymore. Takes Larry too long to get it clean again.
Nice find though Helen.

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.

Helen,
Take good quality photographs of the pages you want to translate, and I'll translate them for you if you like.
