Early 2011 I got an email over my sites contact-"facilities" ..."I have a car like that, bought it years ago, left it some years ago in France in a barn. Think I could get it back on the road???"
Off course I gave a positive reply, twenty years is nothing for a Sabra.
June 2012: mailtje: "I intend to keep my Sabra, got a trailer that can take a car of less than 1460 mm width on the wheels, would this be wide enough to get the Sabra on?"
Drove my Sabra out and measured ... 1450 would have been too small but 1460 should do.
Bernard asked me if I had a system to find the former owner... a medicin in a nearby village. On my suggestion (I have no such system) Bernard drove upto the village, parked his car on the market place and had a wine on a terrace ... within the hour he had located the widow of the doctor.... try that with a Mercedes or with an E-type! |
