FB 225 Seagull Grey / Grecian White Exterior Paint

Post by Aussie Bob »

Hi everyone, I purchased this FB some time back, from a very reputable forum Member :D He told me he is a top bloke, and I agree :lol:

Some clown sanded the exterior down. factory Mats, great trim with a few stitches. original mats, low milage.

The last owner would only let me own the FB, if I left the stop light there :wink:

If Vans had a rear ledge in the back window, he would have put the stop light in the Van :)

I hear you Mick, It is a much better car than the early pic depict. Just a young kid got the car and sanded it down. Very little rust, all cut and plated now. Very straight body. Mint original mats, rare all red fleck seats. Beautiful.
