The not-quite-so-epic 1850 resto threads

#1 Post by Toledo Man »

This is in a similar vein to the Sprint ones. Some of these aren't on the scale of the Sprint restos.

My very own 1850 auto rolling resto.

The Ice blue 1850 auto belonging to mec

Edin Dundee's 1976 1850 rolling resto.

Down&Out's 1850HL auto This car had quite a bit of front end reconstruction done.

mach1rob's 1850 auto
The same car under the previous owner's custodianship HERE

Nathan Billing's 1850 auto which was restored in the space of 19 days while still under the custodianship of the previous owner.

DoloWIGHTY's ongoing "however-many-year" project 1850 This car was quite rotten when Alan first bought it so credit to him for getting it to the conition it is now in.

TKLR's 1850HL I've inlcuded this one because the car has survived being vandalized and set on fire.

AlanH's 1850HL barn find. Yet another auto which has been put back on the road.

Maidsonerob's Brooklands 1850HL

Dolly-Dimple's original 1973 1850

DutchDolly's LHD 1850HL

James 467s Project recommission which is yet another early 1850 auto. This car is now in the possession of yorkshire_spam who has continued the thread and has completed the 2018 RBRR in it.
Another early 1850 from James.
Yet another early 1850 in the possession of James, ERO which is TR7 engined and previously belonged the the late Jon Tilson.
Another Honeysuckle 1850 AKA Nina which James bought from HQentity (Kyle). The previous owner's thread can be found HERE

If there are any that I've missed please let me know and I'll add them. There's quite a few autos included which goes to show that the relative rarity of these cars is much appreciated.
