We just began the restoration of 13034, after several years passed in a barn. A bit moistering, traces of nut, mouse works in the carpets were noted...

The sills are not so bad like on 13295, but slightly damaged and can be redone without being in angry with my banker...Note the system used to maintain the bonnet in open position...The big fan is also unusual and seem to be picked up from a truck and cut to fit...For the rest this car is RHD and was modified to enter the USA and satisfy the Us laws : front light are sealed beams, side lights from the market ( 3 different makes on the car ), US front bumper...
But leather is in good condition, and the dash is 80 % operational.
The car needs new paint ( I'll make within the 2 or 3 next years ).
As usual, the air conditioning is not operating...
And especially I noted the difference between US and other Lags with the final ratio : when I painfully reach 180 KMH with 13295 ( US car ), 13034 goes over to 200 ! But don't say it to the policemen...
