More's the pity..!

About to sell my prettiest car.

It is simply a treasure...









I hate this...

And you don't get the steering wheel.!

Cost me $200..!

Very nice! lovely colour..

Kilroy's most excellent page for the car is here.

Lovely colour. Looks naked without the superlites on it.
Good luck with the sale mate

Thanks chap.

Not wanting to sell it at all of course - but it will deteriorate rapidly where I am living so I might as well let somebody else become custodian.

Strangely enough - there is less challenge in a car that is nearing the full extent of it's restoration. I have found the mechanical side of this one to be rather exacting because it had been put together very badly by people who did not seem to be at all sympathetic to the original design - but having sorted most of the glitches - there does not seem to be much left for me to do...

Funny old business.

Will this be going up on trademe in the near future?

Yes - but just how 'near' is not yet clear.

I have a few things to tidy up on it - which includes fitting the original non-shortened gearlever.

It was alright for me as I have long arms..

Her indoors had to stretch a bit - so I figure I will use the short one in a car with less padded seats.

Sold.

Very keen young chap drove it away last night.

Very pleased it has gone to a good home.

It sold for the minimum bid - NZ$3000.

Best price I have ever got for one though...

Well done Kilroy , good she`s gone to a good home mate, nice to see our devotion to Marinas paying off financially too at last
All the best to you and yours for Christmas mate, lets hope 2014 is a better year for you....no more earthquakes!

Good to hear that, Kilroy.

Thanks guys.

You lot on here are most pleasant people to converse with..

I wish you a brilliant xmas - take risks and overindulge.!

I hope you will also get a chance to stand back and observe your own happiness and where it is heading...

High hopes for 2014.

Regards to all,
Kilroy
