I thought i would chuck up a slow thread about the countryman me and my partner had been told about which had been stuck in a field.
We are picking her up on saturday when a team from our mini club, shovels and a trailer can get together west sussex way.
The owners are letting us have her on the condition we restore her to her former glory. Its been a real family car, with their children learning to drive in it.
Its been left in this field for around 10 years and its been a real goose chase trying to find owners of the land then of the car.

here are some pictures









she looks worse than she actually is!
Due to a current project work will be slow until my boyfriend has finished the other and also funds are low so slow on buying parts.

also can anyone confirm what type/make the dash pod is..? x

You're brave! Good luck, hope you manage to get it back on the road! Console looks like a custom jobbie to me.

looks like a big project, nice seats and guages though

[Goldie1275]

haha, yeah it looks worse than it is... not sure about glass etc, when we last spoke to the owner it seems she removed things like badges and plates etc before leaving it.... so who knows whats shes got left!

we are super brave! but it would be a shame to see it get any worse... we can at least try!
