Part three.
[b]13/09/1954 Panhard Dyna Z1 LHD.[/b]
Early 2012 now, and once the body and paint guys got started on the car it was confirmed there was a lot of accident damage including a quite sizable amount on the o/s front bulkhead area, which appears to have affected the suspension too! As you will appreciate aluminium, whilst making for a very light vehicle, bruises and splits very easily and these cars suffer from fatigue fractures particularly around the doors. Early Z1's only weigh 650kg compared to the later all steel Z's and 17's weighing in at an enormous 805 kg.
I'll let the photos tell the story. Photos courtesy of Neville at the bodyshop.(I think?)
part four coming soon to a PC near you!
