Panhard's Panhard

Ok guys as you know I love wasting money on hopeless heaps of shit that usually involve a ferry ride to collect. Well today is the day that I head off to collect my latest folly. It is a Panhard Dyna Z from the late 50's. I will try to do some sort of live collection thread but my phone always puts pictures in the wrong way up so you may have to wait until I am back on a computer this evening. It should be pretty straightforward and I am off to collect the trailer shortly before heading for Folkestone. The seller is just outside of Calais and not home until 7 this evening so I shall take a slow ride down for a 5pm train. If all goes to plan I will be back in a hotel in Ashford by midnight before the trip back to Somerset tomorrow morning.

Ooooh....tres jolie. However, I can not look at your endeavours without wincing at the fate-inducing registration number on the 806.....Bonne chance, look forward to updates.

Collected and on the train back I will post pictures when I stop for the night. It is minging inside but basically sound. Been off the road since 93.

Well so far a rather boring collection thread. I didn't take any pictures whilst loading as he has a fair bit of junk lying around and was rather cagey about giving me an address, but here it is in all it's rusty glory. It is basically solid but the screen surround is a bit crunchy. It is a proper barn find still full of cobwebs and rat shit but should clean up ok. Anyway here are some pics.
