A very interesting and informative thread. I remember sending some photos of a 165 into the VOC about 25 years ago. The car was light blue and was owned by a guy who lived local to me. The photos featured on the front page of the Driver magazine at the time and it created a bit of interested.Alas i don't remember what happened to the car and have not seen it since so am guessing its now scrap. Regards Dave

I believe that it may have been the Swedish 165 that I saw on a bbc4 documentary about abba . It had a good bit of footage of a 165 driving about.
It had what I think are the wrong mirrors and the dash looked wrong. This tyes in with what has need said earlier in this thread. It made me look twice ,all look a 164 oh no it's not its a 165? Regards Roger |

time to kick on,the car is still alive
Well its been a long time coming but now its time to get this car finished , instead of being in a thousand pieces.
Brought a rotisserie and now the the floor of the 165 is cleaned and ready to be worked on. Seam seal tomorrow followed by a new coat of body deadning. While its on the rotisserie the body work can be worked on and iron out any lumps and bumps and then put into undercoat. |

Glad to hear it! Keep us posted.
Since your last post, I've sent my 164 for restoration with John H, and he's bought a coachbuilt 165 of his own! cheers James
