Restoration of PV544 video
Hello friends,
I have made a video documenting the two year restoration process of my 1962 PV544. I am moving from Mexico to Chile, and cannot take the car, so I have to sell it. Sad thing after all the work done. Since restoration the car has been run for about 1,000 miles, it has no issues and I tested it at 95 mph, no vibration or strange noises. The video lasts 16.5 minutes, hope you enjoy it https://youtu.be/vQ4RQ2ZFX4U |

Shame you have to sell it for the move.
Is it difficult to import cars in Chille?

People here in Europe are (near as damn it) constantly off to the Americas and other parts of the world such as Japan buying old cars and importing them. The costs aren't too bad here - in so much that the purchase price of old American iron, for example, here is high enough to support the purchase price in the originating counrty, the cost of the shipping and the import duties. Loads of US classics are brought into Holland every year - they are mostly sold with "import dudties paid" but leave the puchaser to sort out the registration (I think cos often they don't always stay in Holland and might go elsewhere in the EU) They even "bring back" european models from (supposed dry states)

Adarvasi you must be gutted having to sell your beautifully restored 544. I know I would be, so much so I would have to reconsider moving!! Hey that’s me ! Well I hope you have enjoyed your 12 months with the car. You never know you may just drop on another in Chile. I for one have enjoyed your posts and photos and the high standard of the restoration has inspired me over the last year. Am now at the painting stage on my car and am pretty sure I am already over my 4K budget. Good luck with the move.
