Juan Carlos has several cars, a 1958 Willys Station Wagon  four wheel drive, a 1303 VW Beetle (which I don't have a picture of) and a Siam Argentina, which is currently undergoing full restoration.

It looks like the work is coming on well, please keep us up to date with the progress!

The picture shows Alfredo Valderrama's shop. He is the owner of "Casa Vial".Alfredo is in the business since 1970, and from now on he is a car parts (spares) and accessories dealer. He sells parts for Siam Di Tella's cars (Siam Di Tella 1500, Riley, Morris, Magnette, Argenta, Traveller).

Some 20 years ago, he also added parts for Volkswagen and Dodge 1500 lines. There's no owner of any Siam model that does not know about him in the country. Everyone who needs Siam's parts goes with him because he surely has them. (Though there aren't many parts left for these cars, he still has not only Argentine made parts, but English made ones).He is also a very experienced man in mechanics so, he is always willing to teach us the secrets about these wonderful cars.Besides, he is also very willing to help anyone who needs a hand. He is really a great friend.
