I just bought a nice original a bit corroded 510. It is an 1600 DeLuxe 1970. Maybe some kind of BRE lookalike....

Go the 1600's, mine is just about ready to hit the roads, not sure why you are calling that rusty, yours has rear quarters, which puts you ahead of where mine started. Have fun, they are a pretty cool little car IMHO.

These are very hard to find unmodified in Australia. I've always loved them although a stock one wouldn't be my cup of tea.

I've only ever seen 1 510 2door here in Australia and I've always wanted one since.

Good luck with her.:classic:

I had a '69 510 2 door back in '75-77. I drove that thing from Albuquerque to Omaha in a horrible rainstorm once and it tried to die on me after a fillup in central Kansas. I nursed it to the next place I could stop; poured a couple of cans of Drygas into the tank. Got it started and drove another 200 miles home.:cheeky:

Yeah it still has got the rear quarters...But atleast the passenger side wheelarch is so soft..It felt like a cracker when I took a hold on it with my hand.

I have pretty sure information about the 2-door versions here in Finland. There is only one in this country....It has been some embassadors car in 70's.

Estates we do have and four door sedans. Estates were some what called tax avoiding cars. When you boughr one and registered it as a van you did not have to pay car tax. You just had to put a "hard seat" on instead of original back seat.

I think that this was a bargain. It has all original carpets etc. that are in fine shape. I bought it for 180 euros = almost same in dollars. I am going to go and drive it home on monday.
