Yours is the oldest non barndoor in the world and mines second to yours
Chassis number is 20 - 119 052 built on 8 march 55 so yours would have to have been built around the 1st or second of the month and they would have been on the same boat, bloody brillant lets reunite them soon hey.

show me more

Would you be interested in swapping it for a 89 Holden Barina with a blown head gasket and cash your way???

Great find!!!

Cheers
