It should be good!
Auto = Good (it has wheels) Blinda = bloody fast, flash of inspiration. I eagerly await a photo.

Thanks Cliff
She's not bad looking. I thought the Italian vehicles of that era were not very "suave"
I imagine there wouldn't be too many Autoblinda survivors? Stephen, How does an Italian armoured car end up in a South African museum?

Re. Autoblinda
Hi Stephen - she is a beauty. Never seen or heard of one but I would be interested to see images of what you are restoring as I know everyone else will as well.

More info Gents.
Hi all, yes that is indeed how it looks. I will see how to go about posting pics on this site, perhaps I should upload to photobucket first and then import them. Anyway I'll definitely give you all the full gen as it progresses. Well, as to how it ended up in SA, after WW2 there was a victory drive and this was part of the gift that was given by the commonwealth to the Union of South Africa, as it was then known. We also have the only remaining ME262 night fighter left in the world as a matter of interest.
All the best Steve
