Hello,

i´m a newbie and I´d like to introduce my treasure. In 1989 I bought this car in Switzerland. I put it into a garage and stored it all the years (and payed all the years). Since then I never saw this car in the streets, neither in Germany nor in other countries I visited in all those years. In 7 years of internet research I found a few in Finland, Australia and the Netherlands. Via ebay 2 in Canada, one in the Dominican Republic, 1 station wagon in France ( now in Germany ). Is it necessary to buy spare parts worldwide in order of the seldomness of this car ?
Mine is a MS 55 with the 2M engine (6-cylinder in line, 2253 ccm, 115hp) with 4 gear floor shift. It´s in a quite good condition.
Regards, Andreas

Hello Andreas,
Yes it is very rare but u still can find parts in other countries, I saw one in Australia but without the cooler.I know there is a cooler in the back compartment. I have the same car like you and fully restored. It went to car shows already twice and i got trophy from it.
Is your cooler still working? I am residing in the Philipiines and maybe can help you find some of the parts you're looking for. Goodluck!

Hi unfortunately they are VERY rare, in europe especially. I am restoring one, but a pre-facelift model. I got parts from all over the world thanks to ebay. Mine has 3 speed column shift and since the engine was replaced, I am having trouble in locating column shift handle and linkages. I understand your frustration. Nice find and good luck.

Hi,

I have an MS55 either, well uhm.. its the same (even the same color wink.gif), but the crown is in a bad condition!

I need nearly all replacement parts and they are noch avaiable in austria (plz do not confound austria with australia wink.gif ), it will help if you can give me a hint where i can find some parts!

Thank you

I think I can help you find parts but it will be costly coz we have to shift it from Philippines to Manila,what can you say!
