Growing up there were a few cars that which laid the foundations for the crazy rust addiction i now have as an adult. The majority I either know where they are or have experienced owning them in my adult life. There is only one which still eludes me to this day. This 1957 ford prefect. Having been restored in 2007, used in all weathers and kept outside by 2012 she was starting to show signs of age. Rust in the rear arches, the back seat was tired and the stitching was coming apart But the car was still mechanically decent and solid where it mattered. At this time car was then sold on as the then owner had experienced everything they wanted to with it and needed something bigger. But for me this one was something i always aspired to. The car reappeared in around 2016 online for sale at a car dealer. The story claimed of a full restoration in the time since but the pictures to me showed a heavily stone chipped underside, lots of over spray in the interior and a blow over in Olympic blue with some pin striping in place of the original chrome trim. The interior has been re-trimmed to what looks like a nice standard though and at least it was still around and useful. The trail then went cold. i know nothing of what became of the car beyond this point . Other than shes still taxed every year by its current owner who has had it since 2016. I would love to know if the car has been spotted since or even if the owner is on here. I will attached some photos of the car at the time i knew it and beyond. Thanks for reading.
