A few minor scratches were found, but I guess that should have been expected. The car was running rough when I went to pick it up which, when I got it home, turned out to be loose plugs and leads! Why the plugs were loose (finger tight) has me baffled completely.
The worse damage inflicted on the car was to the driver's quarter vent window which on C2s is a wind out affair ,as opposed to just unlatching it and pushing it out. Someone had wound the window out for some reason and when, obviously not the same person, the window needed to be closed again, it was done by some clown who just pushed it from the outside. This snapped the small pivot hinge in half.
On top of this, the driver's seat back was smashed by a multitude of lumbering wharfies who sat in the car at one time or another during it's long journey here. The plastic back of the seat is literally smashed into a multitude of pieces!
That's it so far and hopefully is all I'll find tho I've yet to crawl under the car.
Wish me luck.

Funny you should mention them Chris.;ay
When I got there it was quite obvious they were nowhere to be seen. I called the importers who were to call customs, neither of whom got back to me as I waited for the truck to arrive. So I corralled some lackey who was riding around in never ending circles as he was vainly trying to direct things, but seemingly getting nowhere fast, and asked him if he knew of the missing wheels. After a bit of soul searching on his part plus what looked like a very pained expression on his dial, he suddenly remembered where they were and proceeded to take me to where they we sitting nicely positioned on a pallet at the back of the yard.
Have a rough guess where they would have ended up had I'd forgotten to mention their strange absence from the vehicle.:b2 Anyhow, they're safe and sound here at home now. I wonder what they'd look like on a C2?;35

77CVT:
Was there another expression on his face when he realised you were going to rip his thieving little arms off and shove them down his throat???

Nice one - I owe ya!
