Hmmmm... maybe bog doesn't rust! Doesn't look to be much else on the guards- like my last Fiat's LF guard, which was nicknamed `a sculpture in bog'! :lol:

I think the owner is describing another car altogether....that thing in the grass looks like a pile of dog turds :lol:

EDIT: and a LEYLAND ROUND NOSE????? Maybe the bog was applied in such a way that it now resembles a round nose, instead of a slab front.....

I figured it was a roundie coz of the drivers side guard. Looks like it has Clubby seats. I think thats a roundie bumper sitting on it too. No rust at all? Well, neither does mine then. And as for the Leyland Mini round nose, well according to the RTA mine's a Leyland sedan. Last time I did the rego, the guy at the counter asked if it was a P76! Coz they are a good car. Gees, I can fit a 44 gallon drum in my Mini if I try!
