Comments from the seller

I bought this car in 1982, second owner. Car sold in Moss Vale, I saw it as a schoolkid and wanted it. Couldnt believe it when I found it for sale 3 years later. Last two pictures, the faded ones, are from 1984. As you can see, apart from the wheels car is the same. Was my daily drive until about 2000. This is cars third motor, rebuilt GEM 3.3 about 2005. Since then probably driven 5 times a year. Had it repainted about 8 years ago. Car always in garage., serviced regularly in town by Mildren and Coysh. Most of wear and tear items have been replaced... at least once. So high KM on the clock, but really car mechanically sound. Has a bit of rust rear quarter window. Clock and water temp dont work, aftermarket water gauge. Front seats not original, but I still have original passenger seat in shed. Interior useable but needs work. New mag wheels and tyres. Gearbox when hot, and engage reverse, gearstick refuses to pop back up fully so you need to know where the gears are. Have a replacement gearbox in shed. AC needs regassing. Love to drive it, but have fractured spine from Army days, and using clutch difficult. After death of my wife, and getting remarried, I cant justify keeping it. Not willing to drop in price, but interested in all offers.
