All early, all different.
All Australian delivered.
All passed away.
Even now, there would probably be some useful parts on that one, Chris.

Chris, was that in Arthur's backyard?
I didn't want to say, but yes
To Arthur's defense, I'd suggest that at the time that the car needed serious work the network we have available now didn't exist for parts, even through the likes of Maxim's. Sadly it is typical of this style of collection(s), the owner's place more value on the cars/ parts than the market can sustain, ultimately the value diminishes and the cars/ parts are scrapped.
To be honest, I don't know if the car has been destroyed, you may like to follow up?
Cheers
Chris
I recall Rob T mentioning a clean-up sometime ago...
As Roger noted, there's lots of salvageable pieces there. It's a '58?? Look at the thickness of the glass on the doors! My '57 didn't have the original glass on the back doors if my mem'ry serves me well.
Haven't driven my ID in a month as it's been sitting in the in-laws shed since before Xmas. Hope it starts up tomorrow!
Yes Chris, you got it in one.
Photo was taken by Richard Egglesfield so I can't claim it as one of mine. Bayside had its mid-week run to All Hallows last Thursday. High tea and a tour of that magnificent Centre.
By the way are you coming to Baydise Aust Day Rally at Ormistion State School on Saturday. free breakfast and 5/600 cars. Full details at baysideclub.org.au if you are interested.
Cheers. Kevin
Is there any room on AF for a database that members can add information to? The longstroke DS/ID register could certainly benefit from something like this. Many cars have changed hands or have disappeared off the face of the continent since the last update was done.
When Bruce H pulled up the list of Citroens registered in QLD, I was shocked to find so (bloody) few are on the road but I did notice a jericho trompetted D which I never knew existed!
The Bayside Restorer's Club outing sounds like fun; I work almost every weekend (for the money, mostly) and have done so for years, so I won't be able to attend.
aahh yes, cars we knew of but did nothing about. ready to claim knowledge of and now it's all but rooted! that's what its all about!
Took the ID out for the first time since last year (a month ago, actually) from the shed in Rosewood (out in the sticks).
With a quick pump of the accelerator pedal and two turns at starting it without the choke I was off to Toowoomba for lunch and back to Rosewood via Laidley and Grandchester. An elderly gent with an early C5 bearing the numberplate DEANNA passed me as did many others (except the convoy of trucks heading up the range) as it cruised along. Having driven down in the SM to get there, they really are worlds apart in every way. Still not sure which I prefer if I had to pick one. Also not sure which one to take to Griffith this year!
Here's a photo of the dinosaur and the baby from today:
