Yeah, or just add some paintstripper ;)

It turned out that he'd braked sharply as he left the car park which caused the bucket of creosote that he'd just bought to fall off the front seat whereupon the top had come off the bucket! Anyway, just in case anyone wonders paper towels are fairly ineffective at removing gallons of creosote from car interiors.

Dave H has a collection of genuine creosote so he can treat his fence making it last for decades rather than years with the stuff that does what says on the tin - and very little else.

That means that there creeping up to schmitt money :)
I wonder if a Nobel is worth moe than the Fulda? I guess fulda is worth less because they made more, so Bambi, Nobel, Attica, Fram King etc may be worth more.

I would be more annoyed if I had a car with a boot print in the GRP moulding! Nobel was a quality motor in its class. OK most of the opposition went bust very quickly but dig the go faster anti fouling below the plimsoll line, sorry, the two tone paint work. Nothing boatish about it. It would sink in water not like the Titanic, no Olympic, no Shovelanpic.
Anyway the Foulda is named after a river, so there.

But Nobels are rarer, I prefer the colours, with the "Z" trim, only nobels had the Z.
I know they have square section chassis, but isnt that better than tubular? You can easily mount things on it, like a jacking point!
The bodies were built by an aero company, and there lighter than modst fuldas, that are aluminium ;)
I like the way all the other variants have small differences. The Bambo has a grill intake (real one, it has a giant hole in the front of it, dont ask why, since it has no front engine. Probably for smelly feet), the Nobel has Z aluminium, the Attica has air intakes on the side, and the Alta has a different shape bodywork.
