Some codes for the devout followers:

M40 Trimatic auto
GU7 2.78:1 final drive ratio
Car drives like a dream!
Easy to start, and engine pulls strongly.
These blue engines with electronic dizzy are bullet proof.
Hit the anchors and you nearly end up through the windscreen. [Yes, they’re THAT good!!]
Interior is tidy and colour trim combo is really sweet.
Has original tow pack from factory with rear quarter supports installed.
It’s a very clean and tidy survivor car.
Unoriginal radio.
Rest of car is as it left the factory in 1981………
Cheap, simple and easy to maintain.
Looks smart and goes grouse.
Keep it as it is, or up to you to develop.
V8 upgrade is possible, rally car, race car, drag car. Options are endless…..
As it is, it’s an effortless cruiser. 2.78:1 ratio is highway friendly, not a demon off the line!
Easy to drive, great visibility and ride. Solid, honest car.
Looking for a new home and a new loving owner to be pampered by!
I will be fixing areas that I am unhappy with, starting with removal of front and rear screens, installing new rubbers, removing any rust and then new locking strip/mylar.
Some paint blemishes will be looked at also.
As I restore, price will reflect added expenditure. (ie price will increase, not decrease)
NO RWC
Rego is NON transferable as its Victorian Club Plated
Disrespect and rudeness will be ignored.
Stupid questions will not be responded to.
No FIFO, western union transfer, tyre kickers or time wasted tolerated.
No low ballers, or offers until vehicle is inspected.
I have bought and sold more cars than you have had hot dinners, so please be polite.
You will be treated the way you treat me…….
Available most weekends
Please read ad carefully and look at all photos.
I have endeavoured to take as many as possible, so there are no surprises when you come to inspect.
New carpet and underlay installed professionally April 2025.
Build sheet also located when changing carpet……
