PV544 in need of attention

Uplander · Mar 6th, 2018, 23:41

My wife spotted this 544 in a body repairers' yard near the hotel we were staying at in Gran Canaria last week so I asked if I could take some photos. Along with a Bedford Van, Landrover Series 1 , a Mercedes 190D and a very pretty, but rotting Lancia Fulvia, they all looked like they were on the 'I'll get round to restoring it one day' list.

It's a 444, maybe a KS, an L or an O. Mid fifties.

grill does not look teh right shape for a KS

Yeah. My '55 KS had the 'mouthorgan' grille but exactly the same rear lamps and lamps on the pillar. It also had those holes above the grille seen in the photo so maybe the grille has been replaced as we had to on mine due to it rotting away. Alternatively grille and lamps may have changed at different times in production, I'm not sure.
