Just seen this : I am selling the iconic FSR TARPAN 233 car, manufactured in 1978. The car was purchased from the first owner, it has been in a barn for the last 20 years, which means it is in perfect technical and body condition. During use, the owner changed the color of the car completely to blue (originally aquamarine with serial number 180). The car drives, turns and brakes, I have a service book and several service receipts.
The iconic FSR Tarpan?
In a barn for 20 years - why? dry barn? rodents?
In a barn for 20 years and perfect body condition?
Perfect 'technical condition' is an interesting term.
The car drives, turns and brakes - yeah, I would sort of hope so, anything else?
'Severa' service receipts - It is a 1978 car and you have several service receipts. Almost a full service history then.
I thought I was a font of car related knowledge but have never heard of the iconic FSR Tarpen.
Looks gopping.
I'm liking the look of that...I think I'd happily drive that - if the back end was long enough to fit a bike, otherwise, it is a nice thing to look at (aware my varifocals probably aren't working!)!
Looks like a truck. A cool truck, if you like that sort of thing, but not really a "car".
The iconic FSR Tarpan?
Might be in Poland. The MGB is pretty iconic over here, less so in Poland I expect.
In a barn for 20 years – why? dry barn? rodents?
It was a 20 year old truck made in Eastern Europe, probably seemed a good idea at the time.
In a barn for 20 years and perfect body condition?
All things are relative.
Perfect ‘technical condition’ is an interesting term.
It doesnt run but everything is there?

Its been sat in a barn for 20 years, what else can you do without an MOT?
‘Severa’ service receipts – It is a 1978 car and you have several service receipts. Almost a full service history then.
It's been sat in a barn for two decades and in the previous two it was probably behind the iron curtain and is a commercial vehicle. I'm not sure what you'd do with a 40 year old receipt for an oil filter in Polish. 🤣
Looks alright to me OK, a little bit chubby, but other wise good condition, probably goes forward and back...
You got there first, Nickc! As I read the list I thought "sounds like the horse I rode this morning"
Seems a bit harsh considering the sellers first language may not be English and it's been stored in a barn for 2 decades. Better than most ads I see in faceache.
Yup, the "20 years in a barn just needs recommissioning and then enjoying for the summer finding out what imminent mechanical failure meant it was left in the barn to rot by the previous owner".
