Say hello to Olga the 144
Hi,
Yesterday I became the proud owner of Olga, the latest addition to my fleet. 1970 144S 2.0, manual with overdrive 1 owner 66,000 miles She hasn't been driven for 10 years, so I have a lot of recommissioning to do before she's on the road. Brakes are seized, but the engine turns easily. On the plus side, the car was only used for summer touring holidays, so the bodywork is nice. Very little rust. And I absolutely love the red interior! I'll post more updates as I bring her back to usable condition. That's all for now, more soon. Cheers John |

Very nice indeed, especially the overdrive twin carb bit! Yes, I'm green! 😀

Oooh!
That's a fine machine. Early 140s are great. Mine's a bit later, 69/70 I think, has the same grille but a bonded screen.

Just noticed it's got the later front panel with the vertical vents. I'd be intetested how that works with the bumper brackets and marrying up to the wings, as mine's rotten and early panels are near impossible to find, unlike the vented ones.
