I don't think so. And the rear window looked different on originals in my opinion. I wasn't aware that Slough did build any LHD. That's not to say they didn't, just that if they did i wasn't aware of it. also the fabric roof? different bumper? i realise that these things are easily changed though!Here's a picture of Stuart Watkins restored Slough Pick up: Back to top SamClukkers Lowered Joined: 23 Jun 2007 Posts: 774 Location: Belgium Posted: Fri Feb 12, 2010 7:15 pm    Post subject: markus wrote: Did they also build LHD cars in Slough??? I don't think so. And the rear window looked different on originals in my opinion. I think they did, but not too many I guess. The Slough pick-up was mentioned in the US brochures, same as the Belgian built 2cv's. A wonderful mix of the best cars available at that time. But the window and trunk floor indeed looks different compared to the beige one. Chassis number tells everything.

Starting bid at 17 456$, 23 900 $ if you want to buy it now... Nice pics on the the ebay add Description : A truly One of a Kind work of automotive art! Built by a west coast boat builder in 1959, this awesome wood car will complete any collection. The story behind the car is that the builder wanted a unique hotrod, one that reflected his superior woodworking skills along with his knowledge and love for boats. He started by building a wood body modeled after a Modern Mechanics Magazine article, then he sourced out an ultra rare 1952 Ariel Square Four motorcycle engine and transmission for the power. The suspension was taken from a Citroen of the era, and rest was all hand fabricated. Many parts are period correct new car pieces, the taillights are Cadillac, the headlights are generic part store replacements, and the fuel cell is a California Speed shop special. Driving this car is an experience only a lucky few will ever have. Starting the engine is easy, just turn the key. The pedals are like that of a normal car, the shifter is a sequential 4 speed, braking is done by four wheel hydraulic drum brakes. The real fun is cruising around town and seeing the looks on people’s faces, accelerating thru the gears is exhilarating, but the car stays stable while doing so. The exhaust note is fantastic due to the hand built side exit pipes. Proper running lights for legal street driving where installed when the car was built, however comforts like climate control are absent. After building and driving the vehicle for a short time the builder put the car in storage, and later sold the car to a Nevada Collector. The car remained in the care of that collector until it was purchased by a friend of the museum during a Rare Motorcycle hunting trip to Vegas, shortly after the car was transported to St. Louis it was sold to the Museum. It is important to note the original condition of the vehicle, the high build quality and excellent care the car has received over the years has preserved it very well, a piece of Americana from a similar time of innovation and individual creativity. The car does have a clear Missouri title as a 1952 Ariel and carries the VIN from the motorcycles engine. Please do not hesitate to contact us about this rare opportunity to purchase this spectacular motorcar. If nothing else it is truly fun to show your friends the new piece of art you just acquired. _________________ I'm a Rod Breaker Back to top Etienne Hoodrider Joined: 25 May 2007 Posts: 2829 Posted: Thu Mar 11, 2010 3:03 pm    Post subject: We already talked about that car, and these wheels are Peugeot. _________________ www.super2cv.com Back to top Clôd Dropped Joined: 24 Jun 2007 Posts: 186 Location: Brive, Corrèze county, France Posted: Thu Mar 11, 2010 4:34 pm    Post subject: Oooops Sorry Won't do it once more .... _________________ I'm a Rod Breaker Back to top fnqvmuch Snailer Joined: 24 Sep 2008 Posts: 13 Location: port douglas Posted: Thu Mar 11, 2010 11:29 pm    Post subject: Etienne wrote: We already talked about that car, and these wheels are Peugeot. more likely renault ...

No Citroen "of the era" as said in the ebay advert had suspension like that, as that is a 4cv front axle _________________ "That bumper fits there like sunglasses on pig" O.E.
