Haha, I was 12, sadly I wasn't pissed at all.

Red chopped Dyane was done by one Dale Reardon. Its blueprinted 602 found its way into my old Ami6 Estate when he stuck it on a custom chassis with a big-block Chevy motor, and the moondiscs were for many years on my Beachy. I sold them last year on eBay.

If I'm not mistaken to the left is Sally James's old drum-brake left hooker ex Belgian Health Authority car and the yellow car to the right was owned by one Nicky Perkins.

Blimey!! I didn't realise Dale Reardon was actually a club member. His roof chopped Dyane was campagined by himself in the 'Custom Car street eliminator' series & was very successful. BB chevy & roof chopped glassfibre body.

this one:

Aye. That's the same car as it finally ended up. In 602 guise when it was red, access was gained by stroking a panel on the roof with a magnetic key fob. A reed switch activated electric door locks which popped the doors open since there were no door handles!

The steering wheel was cool and I nearly ended up with it. It was an early Dyane one with the straight bar under the boss with the top third of the rim cut out!

NDW 743G was my old Ami! Can you scan me a pic of that one please Barrie, I've got no pics of her!!

Cheers!

The green N-reg 2CV in the middle pic was the famous one owned by Tony Dron I think....

Whats the story behind that then Hamstall? was it yours at the time of the pic?

i bought 2x 2cv wheels off a guy in south devon - he bought Dron's old Blue B reg special that i think at one time his mother owned? It's trials & tribulations were well documented in Classic car magazine. It was soooo far gone that the bloke was turning it into a burton or a deauville, or some hideous looking kit car.

The wheels i bought were f*cked & i took them staight to the tip!

No, I owned her about 2 years later and moved house in her. (Actually I think I have one photo of the house move!). At the time of that photo it was probably owned by a geezer from the North West whose name I forget, but really should remember, and I bought her from him at Knutsford Service Station. Prior to that it had been owned by Sally James who lived near me in Cheltenham, and before that a guy called Tony Dowding who was the parts manager at Ebdon's, the then local Cit agent. I sold her in 1989 to a bloke from Northampton I think. He was something big in the Borgward Owners' Club.

Strangely enough, I first clapped eyes on NDW in about 1981, four years before that photo, when she was in the hands of her first owner, a bloke from Cardiff who was visiting someone in my street. I think he sold to Tony.

bloke from northampton?

ive never seen anything close to an ami in northampton! dyane, a few dollys, blue spesh, red speshs and a charlie... but never an ami!
