hello All
just acquired my 1967 Fairlaidy , imported by the vendor from California
04574 belonged to PO that was a member of this forum so I'd be glad to get in touch if he reads these lines
here are a few pics

my first problem to solve are the windscreen wipers; PO (or vendor) broke the pivots from the linkage; and extracting the pivots themselves was a real challenge;but I'll adress this, I guess very classical, topic in the appropriate section

cant help with parts,I have a '70, but welcome and please don't forget to update registry with your car - there are MANY roadster owners in the Netherlands - so you have company close by, depending where you are in France.
Suggest you add vehicle and your location to your avatar.
Enjoy what is certainly a unique car in a land of Citroen, Peugeot and Renault.

Welcome, where are you in France?
As mentioned there are some very nice owners in the Netherlands who could probably assist you.
Good luck!

A 66 and a 67 are the same. 67.5 has changes. What makes you think it's a 66?

maybe because route66 is more famous than route67 ?
well all documents and chassis numbers confirm it was born in '67
Linda & mraitch: I'm based in Grenoble, in the french Alps , 100km from Lyon; Netherlands is actually the place where I saw my first Fairlady , at Joop Stolze Alib baba cave...and fell in love with it

Welcome Roland. Nice looking car. Glad you have joined the group.
Sadly, most of the wiper pivots here in the Northwest are worn to the nub
311s.org is an excellent resource.

If you want to order parts in the USA, he can arrange that for you.
And he has a lot of spare (used) parts.

I have contacted him for a windscreen washer bottle, mine has gone (and I found the appropriate windscreen wipers mechanism)

Welcome Roland.
Yes, you're close to Lyon but more importantly....you are close to Valence!
