Hello everyone. My name's Eddy, I'm an expat Brit now living in the beautiful Greek island of Cyprus. I have two old British cars here, and a modern Japanese pickup disguised with a British name. When I work out how to post pics I will, don't worry!
The truck is a Vauxhall Brava, aka Isuzu KB, also aka Chevy LUV. 2.5 turbo diesel, crew-cab, not very exciting, except that much to my surprise my wife likes driving it!
The cars, ah now, this is what we come here for. Soon after we moved here and bought the truck (we're still pretty new on the island) I found on the internet a 1971 Ford Capri 1600GT. It was only an hour away, so I went to see it, and the rest is history. It's a beautiful car, having been restored and lightly customised about 12 years ago by the previous owner, who had it 35 years! I joined my local club, of course (www.paphoscvc.com) and take it to the events.
At one of these I found myself talking to another expat who said he wanted to find a good home for an old car he had lying around. As soon as he said what car it was, I was hooked. I am now the owner of a restoration project, a 1966 Austin A40 Farina Countryman. One of my first cars was an A40, way back in the 70s, so as I restore this I'll be upgrading it in ways I might have done then, if I'd had the money and skills that I have now. Progress can be followed on www.a40farinaclub.co.uk and I expect I'll post reports on here too.
I have a LONG and varied history of old British and European cars, with a handful of Japs and a generous helping of American iron thrown in, so I'm looking forward to sharing with you guys.
