I'm not sure this topic is suitable for our supra's forum, but i hope this can be interesting story. And this is the reason, why i stopped all my plans for my Supra for the next 2 months.
Preamble:
One year ago, when my own business got failed because of new monstrous custom taxes in Russia, i started to think - what's next?
In local GT-cars related forum, i found an advertisment of the big Transportation company called Energy. So, after i went their website i found, that the company haven't a branch in the city i live.
"Why not?" - i sent them the e-mail, with only pair of strings: "Why not to open your branch here?"
And here one year as we with a companion have opened and attend to development the brunch of the company in our city
The birthday of the company owner in september, so knowing his old dream - an old "Volga" we found and bought such car. So this car is one year older.
Too much text. In English it means: the car is purchased as a gift
21.07: the Car is bought and brought on a company warehouse.
The 2.5 litres engine in excellent condition! No black smoke, no oil leaks. Good tranny with gear shift knob right behind the steeringwheel, as it was usual on our "auto-rarity"
There is a rust on the fenders, but we bought 2 pairs in good conditions. The old lamp radio with 5-station memory buttons work fine.
Today we have disassembled the interior. It was very easy, since a minimum of wires, a minimum of details. All is made simply, reliably and excellently, with love as it did during "old kind times".
Fortunately the previous owners have saved up the most part of the original chromeplated details of interior. They should be updated, but it is already clear - historical reliability of the car will be kept.
I have made the first photos on mobile phone camera since at the moment of purchase the sunny weather was replaced with the real hurricane and the strong rain, and I have hidden favourite Canon far away from a bad weather.
Short movie. The car can be started by the key, but we have decided to try "an Old antiquated method". I'm the cameraman, Alexey carries out a starter role
