Mondial found in the water

.. above all (seems) dirty ! Chuck a white bicycle into it, and you won't even see a shimmer of it in best (rare) sunlight.
.. think of all Easyjet tourist that may have peed into it as well

but worst of all : This diver guy that sliced whom ever fell into the canal Image Unavailable, Please Login

 

It's fresh/brackish. I guess you can compare it with some swaps in Florida.

 

And they call it cleaner then decades ago! well, now it is a bit since they took the jewel out!
You can only be Dutch if you know the horror movie "Amsterdamned"

 

.. almost. Grew up 30miles south west of you in the 80's and yes, that was a good production. Should have gotten more notice internationally.

 

I remember that movie. Watching the trailers now takes me back to the Amsterdam I remember while living in Zeist from Jan 1985 to Dec 1987.

 

Oh my, what a difference! Not sure if the Dutch one was pedagogical correct at the time since it was also in commercial breaks at 18:00

 

Nah, if it was a Florida swamp the alligators would have eaten the leather and the bumpers, lol.

 

Someone did some digging in the (past) newspapers and the mystery is solved which Mondial it is. Telegraaf of Sept 17th 1994 a reward was published for a stolen Mondial 3.2 in Amsterdam

The Mondial in better days! Ironical enough with a police van behind it

So sad.

But cool photo techniques!

 

That's not in Amsterdam or near it! I know the place. It was a matter of time
Nice! could you take or wrote down the VIN?

 

I would display it as a piece of art - or have it crunched to a cube and put it on display

 

If it whas a F40 it would be remaked as new ! Still some parts that are ok...haha.

 

Cool! You used to live in my 'back yard' ! I live in the 'Keienstad' , You must know which city i mean...

 

Actually the Car junkyard put it on display in front of their gate. I will have a look tomorrow.

 

It's the 68601

Fascinating story. Last time I was in Amsterdam was 1983.

 

Amstedam has changed a lot since then

-------------------

Parts aren't for sale. I have some things I would want, but it seems it will go of to the local Zoo in Amsterdam for in their Canal Aquarium Nevertheless I reserved some parts if the decision is otherwise.

 

side grille looks good
