Yeah it is, jocke. If anyone would like to donate a 1971 model year to pair with my DJ, please let me know!  Great photo! |

Stunning! As a child of the 50s and 60s in Canada, that shot certainly does bring back a lot of memories. Thanks for sharing it with us, Jocke.

jocke you say it’s in bad condition but it looks really good. Maybe a “20 foot car” As in it looks good from 20 feet away

I’d drive the crap out of that!
Maybe instead of a birthyear watch, i should think about a birth year car.

I’d have a 1976 Jaguar XJ6 or a 1976 Mercedes SL.
The 70s were terrible years for American cars.

I say that as an Englishman and family that have the "pleasure" of owning Triumphs, Austins and Land Rovers. The only Brit built car I had zero issues was my 12 Mini Clubman.. |

jocke that is a sweet ride but I have to ask, where/how do you get parts for it? Do you do your own repairs or have you found a specialist?

I obviously can’t speak for him, but in the 15 years or so I’ve “been around” jocke, and after meeting him in person, I feel confident saying that he is very handy with a set of tools as well. Sadly, a capability that I don’t possess. Lol |
