Hi All
I am in the process of restoring one of the Crayford RHD cars which was in a truly horrible condition. Now that the shell is back from my favoured paint shop I've decided to start at the front refitting the wiring, lights etc but note that I can't find the aluminium vin tag from the right hand light box, question is , where abouts on this side of the pond can I buy a replacement? I know they are available via Johnny Law in US but I'd like to save a dollar or 2 finding a European supplier. Or maybe I'll have to wait until I visit the LA Lit meet in February--I doubt if I'll have finished the car by then anyway. Can you advise ?? Many thanks Ian |

Ian your white car looked like it was in v g condition? are you restoring a different one? is it that green car that was for sale a few years back? looked like it was ready to break in half ---un-saveable?  |

Hi , no not the white one, which is No1, nor the green one--don't know where that's gone, or whether it was a Crayford.
This is an orange one, No 7 in fact and was a worse state the the green one. |

@9146-racer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
nice to know another one survives. hard to imagine one in a worse state than the green one, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) there is a yellow one in the UK as well that managed to circumnavigate the world over half a century. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) i think its a 75. west australia ---->singapore------->uk. i'm still on the look out for a white 73 thats down here. i know its somewhere out there still. |
