Marty Roth Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Irit,that was a good catch on the identificationI've often wondered about the status of the old-car hobby in Israel - my sister-in-law is a Sabra, originally from TelAviv and always enjoys my visits to New Jersey with one of the cars.

Guest ClassicsFan Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 (edited) Wow.... thank you so much - Akichu. I would have NEVER found it. I am indebted to you.But this brings me a new problem.... the grille this emblem is on, does not resemble any Austin's I looked at. Its flat and is about 38 inches long x 8 wide.... I wish I had loaded the grille too. It will have to wait til I get home, unless you can help me further.

Guest AKICHU Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 H i MartyLike in all other areas we are young compared to you, so as the hobby of collecting & car restoration. The whole thing started only in 1989 when the Department of Transportation agreed to give a special status to car older than 30 years, that included benefits & minor restrictions. Since the last 10 years the hobby is gaining momentum, there is also much more awareness among people in general and with the authorities in particular.Irit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restorer32 Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 One good thing about car shows and touring in Israel. Virtually no chance of rain from May-October. Would be a great country for touring with so many interesting historical sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AKICHU Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I guess many American collector car enthusiasts know only of the Sabra Sport, the Reliant-based convertible sports car from the only Israeli auto manufacturer, Autocars Co.However this manufacturer also produced other models which were very popular in Israel Such as the Sussita CarmelThe cubic SussitaThey all were fiberglass-shelled cars camels found the fibreglass used in the cars' body appetizing, and would often gnaw or eat away parts of the car, explaining why these cars were often seen with chunks missing from their exterior. So if any one of you Corvette owners is planning to visit Israel & drive it in the south part, beware of the camels;) Dave@Moon – correctThe Morris minor Traveller 1960 is viewing the Temple Mount and the Dome of the Rock mosqueThe Morris minor convertible 1953 is indeed viewing the Roman aqueduct at CaesareaIrit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
