PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO SEND CONTRIBUTIONS !

Engine number: LB6B/50/276

Wanna see the plate ?


Sold new in Lisbon (Portugal).

Registration: HE-17-09.

Here are two nice photos of the car when new:
   

The car suffered a crash (date unknown) and a repair was made, altering the grille as can be seen below while racing at a criterium in 1963:


  

   
Have you noticed the bigger rear window ?
   

Here is more to come: a locally made hard-top !


Current owner bought the car in 1977. His son plans to restore it. Here are some huge photos taken recently by fellow José:
    



Here are HUGE photos of the interior. Should you wish to look at details, here  is something for you...
    

Now a quiz, look at this photo: what do you see ?


What have you noticed ? The registration is not the same at front... BE-18-27 and not HE-17-09 !
Or maybe the late grille style...

In fact, the whole bonnet comes from LML/50/100, which is a Portuguese DB2... or was as it was destroyed by fire some years ago and beyond repairs.

So, back to LML/50/32...
         

Maybe you think the washboard bonnet is lost... Not so ! Have a look below:


The car is in very good condition and very original. Only the bonnet really needs to be redone.
