Re: At The Auctions
That looks a good car to buy and use doesn't it. Even if he has left the door pull cords on and left the overriders off. I think it looks great. It'll be interesting to see what that makes at auction.

Re: At The Auctions
Needs a lot of bodywork I reckon. Nice original spec though isn't it? It's on ebay as well. Auction is upto £3,000 so far - reserve not met.
It would be a mistake to underestimate the cost of restoring a car like this I'm afraid.

Re: At The Auctions
I agree. That is MUCH less than the cost of creating such a car! I'd be glad to own that.

Re: At The Auctions
I'm normally not one for extra trims etc, but that Aussie 850 looks very smart and unusual.
Of course I know what a dipstick is, you get called something often enough you look it up!

Re: At The Auctions
That's exactly what I thought. A real time warp car.

Yes is nice, good to see the original period "extras" especially the "Works" wooden auxiliary switch panel

Re: At The Auctions
A very difficult car to re-create, you see less and less of these cars with real history. if it was mine, I would try and avoid the temptation to change it.

Re: At The Auctions
Did think the estimate was high, and best of luck if they get it.
Would be sad if anything was done to it other than tidy it up and use it.
Looks like the auction is just up the road from me and if I can get the time would be good to have a nose at it in the flesh, so to speak.
