DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

All i can see is an advert??

I'm fairly sure all '64 & older cars don't need them, not '66.

Thanks Sanjay, you're spot on there. I'm surprised anybody remembers the car as it's been off the scene for years. I remember the PO insisting that i inspected the car personally while it was on a ramp at PCT. Must admit i'd already made my mind up when first saw the car about 10 yrs before purchase.

No, my confusion really. I didn't know what a forum was until recently! I did wonder why some parts of the thread were feint! Doh. Thanks

Sorry for the gap, apparently there was a posting error?? So i shortened it. Second was engine start, first time in ages and no flat battery

I have less glamorous news to report. Firstly the LH sticking latch mechanism receiveda dose of WD40 (pound shop equivalent is all i had to hand) which did the trick nicely, back to the gorgeous Germanic clunk

Thanks Tp81, my pride & joy for 20 years. Barely a day goes by without an admiring trip to the garage just for a look. Dragonfly, are you describing the yellow C3? Mine's original & unrestored. Will make an effort in the new year to get out & meet fellow DDK-ers.

Wow! How did you know they looked after the car? The PO spent a small fortune there, eng & g/box rebuild etc. They are having it soon to replace the h/exchangers. Thanks everyone for the interest, i've only recently ditched my week long charge nokia that only makes calls & got a proper phone...

I bought the car from a customer back on the mid. 90's and was mainly attracted to the colour, sounds s bit girly but when something inside rocks your boat........ It was my everyday car for years and drove it to Lancaster uni from home here in Brum, outside lane on the M6 all the way! Back then nob...

Best way to receive Big Mac & fries!

another tight pic

Indeed, glad the optional console wasn't selected as it's easy sliding across & exiting through LH door! Just started up 1st crack after being driven in back in October when MOT expired.

i hope this works

Probably the switch on the back of the barrel that's stuck & will need replacing. The immobiliser prevents starting when in the springy zone. My '77 had an OPC immobiliser fitted by the PO and one day after about 5 yrs ownership it packed up preventing me from starting the car. Surprisingly my a...
