(OT warning...)

FWIW the NSW Fire Commissioner's vehicle has always had 10 as its plate. How much would that be worth these days?

You want bling? OK, it may not be shiny, but I think this ID had every piece of aftermarket add on that could be purchased at the time

I am in the minority I know, but I love this period bling.

You can add me to the minority then.

I love this post. its the best (and longest) on the Aussiefrogs forum and although I don't have anything to contribute I do have a question.

The ID pictured in the yard full of old Cits (Shanes backyard?) there's a strange looking car on its left, a retro 1920's thing, looks like it's using Renault R5 doors. Anyone know anything about it?

I'd love to know how one pops the bonnet with the extra driving lights situated where they are on the bumper.

Had the DS23EFI Auto our for a drive yesterday and yes, hot, even with all the windows down. It's been a long time since I've heard the electric cooling fan cut in but it was working hard yesterday !

BEIGE ALBATROS AC 087 (1971-1973)

Times change, this colour used to worry me but 40 years on I think it looks great...
