Lovely photo Albert, she is growing up quickly.

Looks like Eliana needs a 131 with the steering wheel on the "correct side" and she's good to go  :o

Then you must be out off little children already a long time Kevin, that's a pretty normal size for childseats now.

Hi Albert, are you not affraid of damaging the seat with the childseat?  They do tend to leave pressure-marks...

When are you heading our direction the next time?

Are you sure she is allowed to sit in the front when you have rear seatbelts?  In Belgium she would have to be in the back.  That's why I take Noah in the 125s  :D

Wow Albert!! Eliana has grown so fast!  :o It's great that she has an interest in cars too - just like my children - it must be in the blood!  :D

Hope to see all your family at a 131 event soon!  :)

A very pretty girl indeed and as everyone else has said she has grown very fast. We must have all been having fun as they say "time flies when you are having fun" 😃 😄 The seat looks big to me too but also looks very effective which is what you want. Makes me wonder how us old people managed as we were just thrown in the back of cars with no seatbelts!!!

...and after being thrown in to the back seat we then proceeded to climb over the back seat rest ...into the boot of our Austin A40 ....while speeding along at 45mph ....or maybe more!!!!   ;D

Eliana is definately interested in cars ;D

There are no seatbelts in the rear, so she has to be in front. Of course I putted a thick towl under the seat to prevent the seat ;)

Albert,

on the subject of rear seat belts...

Have you ever put rear 3-point seat belts in a Racing? 

I have seen that Guy's Volumetrico 2p has them.

Do you know wether they where optional on Racings?  If they were the attachment points should be there, no?

With only one spare front seat and two child seats it gets a bit difficult...

I saw the rearseatbelts in several german WR cars, maybe the one Guy owns now has them too. The seatbeltmechanism is mounted on a plate which is fixed with the 3 bolts on top of the rear shockabsorberdome. In the c pillar is a mounting point as are under the rear seat. I wanna send pictures if that helps.

@ Albert:

The gunmetal WR doesn't have seatbelts either, I would have swapped them over already :-)

Pictures would help.

This weekend I'm going to pick up my 1966 600t.  I sold it a couple of years ago when I couldn't find the papers anymore for the 850t that I had sold to this guy.  As he was so disappointed that the deal would jump off I had to do something...  Now the papers for the 850t have been found (and the van traded for welding and a good paintjob on the 124 familiare) and the 600t also returns home.  I'm happy with that, although it now sports alloys, has been lowered and is powered by an overheating 900cc engine coupled with a 600d-gearbox...

@ Nick

pm me a price.  For the belts and p&p.  Are they static or roll-up?  3-point they have to be!  Maybe you could give them to Albert when he's in Ireland to cut p&p

Have a nice day

Yves

My father took the rear seat out of his 2cv and dumped his 5 children on some cushions in the enlarged boot...

He would go to yail for that now  ;D
