So you’re ok Nige with him being frozen for sixty odd years and defrosted back to life but not that he can drive? :lol: . To fair that is quite a good point, unless he was a good mate of Fred Bremer and borrowed his first effort to learn in before his 60 year nap. . :lol:

Not trims, they're pressed steel wheels. Probably by Firsat. The car model is the Innocenti I5
