Thomas third OSI was bought on Ebay and he does not know the original engine size. It is no longer a car...

The original colour was red and the car was dismantled for parts. This is a picture from 2006.

Knut Sandvik - Norway - EX54GE01551

Knut bought his car in the USA. Great story

Knut had always been looking for an OSI as it had been his dream car for more than 25 years. His first car was a Taunus 20m 1967 model (in 1981), and since he saw an OSI in a Ford magazine, he always wanted one.

He searched the net for several years, but the cars either were too expensive, missing too many parts, a heap of rust (or both), and with little or no history or documents.

Then one night he found on Ebay a 1967 OSI in the USA. He placed a bid, but the car was withdrawn as it did not reached the bidding reserve. He then emailed the seller, Thomas Ryon from Washington, Oregon, and asked him if it was possible to deal directly. When he heard how serious Knut was about the car, he accepted to deal, so Knut packed his bag and jumped on a plane to Seattle. When Knut arrived at Thomas estate, they got the deal closed and became good friends on the way. Thomas said he only wanted to sell the car to an OSI enthusiast, as the car has belonged to his father, who bought it in Europe doing his service time in the US Army, and he had many fond memories of the car as a child. This means Knut is only the second owner of the car…

The car is more or less complete, and in surprisingly good shape, with little rust damage, and comes with some extra spare parts . Knut is now restoring it and will keep us all informed.

Matthias Marstaller - Germany - EX54GD01555

!

This one has a 2,9 litre Ford engine with a 5 speed manual gearbox and looks really good.

Matthias saw a picture of one OSI - then absolutely unknown to him - some 17 year ago in a magazine and went there to take a look. Some weeks later he decided to buy it and he spent about 7 years working on the car which included sandblasting the whole chassis. The 2,9 litre engine was from a Ford Scorpio (fitted originally to the old 4 speed manual gearbox). The bonnet has been modified to allow additional air supply, an oil cooler has been integrated, it has an handmade stainless steel exhaust system to fit engine and gearbox and a lot more. The backlights are not original but from an Opel GT, the front seats are said to be from a Jaguar XJ, the wire rims are 6,5x15, tires 205/70R15 V or W... For the last 10 years the car has this great look.

Originally dark yellow and a 2 litre engine, this one will be tuned up.
Quoting Herbert, "In this car we will probably fit an 2,6 Taunus engine and we are going to paint it in original white or metallic grey. Laying in my basement I have a new Bordeaux red interior for it. It's going to be the ultimate OSI".
