My name is Craig & I am the proud owner of a 65 4dr Parisienne i bough myself as a Xmas gift last year.... She has been a bit neglected & I intend to restore her to her former glory....
I reside in Cape Town, South Africa, so info & parts for these vehicles are a schlep. I'm hoping to learn as much about these vehicles as possible....., and get some guidance regarding my resto.....

Hi craigd. Welcome to the site from southern Ontario. If you're looking for help/advice you've come to the right place. I have to ask a stupid question - Do you know a guy by the name of Thaven Naidoo from Richards Bay South Africa? I sold him some parts for his 1967 Beaumont last year and have not heard from him since. Hope to see pics of your car soon. Leo

Thx for the hearty welcome from all of you..
This is really a great forum! Good morning (at least here in SA)
To answer some questions;
1. It is a 4dr hard top 2. No, unfortunately i do not know Mr Naidoo 3. Is the cowl tag the tag on the passenger side door post?? (it states the VIN no & "assembled in PE, SA...??")
PS, I just tried uploading some pics again, but no luck. I get stuck at the grayed out screen that says "uploading"... i let it run for 20 mins!!
I read a prvious post re uploading pics..., but seems i either have gremlins in my fingers or in my pc
What is the max size a pic can be?? (I have shrunken mine to around 73KB - 640x 480)
Welcome from Newfoundland, good luck with your 65.
