Hi Laird..... rules of the forum are......
1/ All claims to legal ownership must be supported by photographic evidence. 
2/ A statement must be made as to the true condition of the car and details of any plans you have for said car. 
There are some Alpine owners that will be along soon to drool over it.... sounds like a nice car you have. Welcome!
Tim.

Compared to mine (Rapier) it sounds like a new one! Speaking of Rapiers.... if it's still in existence some one on here might have it or know of it. What's the reg'?
There are about a hundred registered forumites but mostly the same ones posting, but you never know, they are an informed bunch!

Lived in North Wales (just in) myself about 12 years ago..... not too far away, now in North West England, so will add you to my list of local f/b owners. Not saying that its a very short list but adding you has just doubled the numbers. I saw a Wardance Red H120 in Colne last summer but not seen it since despite looking out for it.
The f/b appears to be a rare beast in this neck of the woods!

Hi there, did i just read that right from arrocuda.... A H120 in wardance red [ another one] i thought that mine was the only one in that color.. i would love to see it especially if i was in my H120
now that would turn heads what you might call a double take ..
lol.
keep your eyes peeled arrocuda would love to hear more of this H120
all the best [mikesunbeamh120] |

As far as I'm aware it's correct Mike but the car was coming toward us so I was unable to check it out in great detail. It had the grille and boot lid which I admit is by no means hard evidence of it being an H120. Was 'H' registered on black and silver plates.
The car was travelling south down Colne High st last summer in Lancashire but is only about 15 miles from Skipton and the Yorkshire Dales so could easily have been someone touring the area and not necessarily be a local car.

Hi arrocuda.. H reg. its amazing that they are still around,last time i saw an H reg H120, came all the way down from scotland to cornwall
and i met up with the owner [it was blue in color ] and we went to morwellam quay... which recently has been filmed there . I think its called Edwardian farm . It was quite a popular port in its day and busy. This venue was one of our local rally,s at morwellam about 60 or so cars and bikes would turn up, but it was in November and the weather was,nt allways kind to us. I,ve got some photo,s of our cars together
i will try to put them on hear for you to see and all the other forum user,s cheers for now Mike. |

Looks pretty good - a bit of rust in the usual places.
Is that other car a Corvair?
