107 station wagon

Today was the day she came out of her barn!

In all the years I have owned her (lots) it was also the first time I started to really poke around inside - found a very manky rodent chewed coat, some old newspapers (no date on them yet) a few other odds and ends.

I bought her missing the original engine and with a very rotten chassis and bulkhead but all the original trim intact.

Any way, photos of her long term home and blinking in the daylight!!

I reckon there may be a few issues with wind noise coming through the top of the screen.

Other than that, looks good.

A guy around the corner from me (who has an early 110 on a galvo) had a 107, for years, but I think he may have sold it or he's squirrelled it away in his garage.

What are your plans for this?

It’s the worst bulkhead I’ve seen still on a vehicle!! And the chassis is as bad.

I have a plan though...

That must be held on with Bluetooth

Nissan Navaras do that after 2 years

I think it had more character before you washed it

That is pretty much the worse S1 bulkhead I have seen, at least replacements are available

So much character! A little bit (lots) of spit and polish and she'll be lovely! You're a brave man taking it on, well done you!

It did, but I’m not planning on selling so don’t need the extra value dust brings

That's nice. So what are your plans for it?

The 107" Wagons were considered ugly and were overlooked for years, but since the millenium they seem to have become "sought after" and a lot of expensive restorations have been done since.

Yours will likely be worth a lot more in that, er, "unmolested" condition.

Mine - not expensively restored!- is the only known ex-British Railways Station Wagon , so it was only right to park it in front of a Station a couple of weeks ago.

Look forward to seeing more of yours, if you are going to show its progress on here.

I have to say that red really suits your 107 Slidey

Thank you both.

I hope to take the old crate from Essex to Anglesey at the end of June.

I expect Jeremy's will be ready by then too!
