On our last weekend of freedom before Lockdown we went to a gig up at the Austin Club in Longbridge....Fearing the restricton of movement was only days away we trekked back South via the Cotswolds and found this lurking in some undergrowth up behind an antiques cafe outside Tewkesbury....

Start a campaign to restore it on AS.
As I suspected I was right about everything.

Yeah, we will need a set of chrome wires with brand new XASs so that I can get it on my drive. Can somebody give me the money for those first please? Then I can cut it up for scrap.....

Certainly is. It's a DAF 55 Havas(sp?) beach car. I've got a picture somewhere of the very car (some Dutch Royal connection I think)

The one Cros posted is, I am sure, a "Kini" - designed I think by Michelotti. It dates before the 55 came out - presumably Daffodil based - and that is the Royal family pictured in it - Princess (later to be Queen) Beatrix and Prince Claus....
