Razzel, One of the best looking cars ever made. Definitely a BIG dollar car no matter what county you are in. Thanks for posting.

You're welcome.

 

Yes, who knows what is worth here... I had a quick google and I think only 8 cars officially imported. One was owned by the late King of Thailand and one by a Senior Politician.

 

There was a sticker from a German garage on the rear so looks like an older restoration bought in a few years ago. 

 

To add, I have not been but found this website.

Doe anyone know any other classic car garages in Bangkok or the surrounding area?

 

There is a Thai guy who posts classic cars on Facebook - Bangkok expat page...but I think he just adds a few $$$ to existing adds.

 

If I get a lottery win maybe I'll splash out on this and get this restored!

I also had a Torana - an XU1 202 - went like a bat out of hell, great handling but ride comfort was like a block dray! Had it 12 months and sold it off for a small profit and bought a car with some better ride comfort (and for the family).

Found this on ONE2Car.com. I don't believe I have ever seen a Chevrolet El Camino in Thailand. It says it is a 1976 but it is actually a 1970. Not the original motor, looks like a later Chevy 305 or 350 TPI motor. Looks like a nice restoration. Reasonable price as that what a nice one is going for in the USA.

Come on Transam. This thread is supposed to be unusual cars YOU HAVE SEEN IN THAILAND.

He was in Thailand when he saw it!

 

Edit:  I know, I know, he beat me to it.

Seen in Chiang Mai early 2018. Happy memories - it was our first family car when I were a nipper.

Near King Rama IX park in Prawet. Not quite a classic garage, but they seem to specialise in Jag mechanical repairs, albeit mostly XJ40s in the google map photo. Probably worth keeping a eye on them to see what they get through the door. When i went past a couple of years ago there was a Jag Mk 10 tucked away in a corner.

 

Trying to work out what is under the plastic cover at the back, it looks like a Merc 230SL

Where's/what's the name of the garage in Chongnonsi?

 

That's near me...I'd love to have a look.????

I had one in the late 1960s and it was OK in the dry weather. But when it rained however the wipers were powered by vacuum. Try to over take in heavy rain and the wipers simply stopped working.

Have you ever been to Nong Nuoch Gardens on the road between Pattaya and Sattahip?

There is a small museum with automobiles of any beauty

Could turn that Volvo into a camper or as the English say a caravan.

1939 Vauxhall Roadster. Genuine Thai-registered body on top of a Toyota Lexus chassis. On the face of it, very neat.
