This listing is for a set of original 1957 or 1958 Mercury front fenders. These fenders have been in storage in an old shed in Brooksville Florida for half a century. The fenders were bought new according to the deceased owner's son and were bare metal with no primer protective coating of any kind. They were never used and over the years they developed surface rust from sitting in Florida's humidity. I bought them about fifteen years ago with the intention of dipping them in acid to remove the surface rust but the plant that did this process closed in Tampa and I haven't found another dipping facility. The Ford metal was thin in those years and I would not risk sand blasting these. There is one small hole on the left lower dog leg that came about from sitting on the shed's rotten floor. I haven't seen one of these fenders since the 60's that wasn't rusted in the lower doglegs and around and above the headlight. I don't have to tell anyone how rare these parts are and I don't expect they will ever be reproduced aftermarket. I would prefer to sell these with local pickup. Shipping can be arranged but it will be pricey to securely package them for transport. To hell with shippers insurance because these parts can't be replaced. They can be picked up at my home in Wesley Chapel Florida which is twenty miles North of Tampa just off I-75 Exit 179 at SR-54. I do travel North to Michigan and Pennsylvania to visit family occasionally and arrangements could be made for me to take them North for a fee. Please ask any questions you may have before bidding or buying these parts.

James Bond Car Exhibition 2012 Nothing has defined the James Bond franchise – the film franchise, that is – in quite the same way as its cars.

That’s exactly what is being planned by the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu and EON Productions (they of the James Bond films), who plan to exhibit more James Bond cars in one place than ever before – and for the whole of 2012.

Heuliez concept collection up for auction

Thu, 05 Jul 2012

A collection of coachbuilt specials and concept cars by French company Heuliez is to be sold at auction. The selection of 56 cars spans a huge spectrum from a Fiat 500 up to Le Mans racers but what really caught our eye were the oddball one-off conversions. Highlights include the Citroën BX Break De Chasse ‘Dyana', a three-door shooting break version of Gandini's classic, the 1972 Peugeot 204 Taxi H4 and the targa-roofed Citroën SM Espace.
