Hi all,

The time has come for me to let go of this beautiful car.

I bought it at the end of 2009, and since then I have used it once a week and occasionally I drive it to work (when my daily's in the shop or broken down).

This car starts every time and is more reliable than my other cars which are younger! It even started after a month of sitting in the garage when I went overseas.

key points:
- 1956 build, first registered in Australia in '57
- restored approx 10 years ago by previous owner
- new vinyl interior, new original style steering wheel
- 12V electrics
- 1200 motor, runs very well and smooth.
- functional semaphores (powered by 6V), and 12V LED flashers
- original MPH speedo
- CD player installed in glovebox
- rego to NOV 11

Currently the car has the black on silver PPQ ZAA057. These can be included in the sale.

I am after $9150. The reason I am selling is because I need to fund my training, and partly to support the YWAM Medical Ships ministry . It sure is a special car to us, we used it as our 'getaway car' in our wedding. It has also served as a wedding car since.

Name: Alex
Location: Wishart - Brisbane. Or during work, Brendale
Contact: please email arexram@gmail.com or PM me. I am always in meetings so best to leave me a message

More pictures will come over the weekend, it gets too dark after work!

I've got a few months to sell it
My number is 0417628673, but I'm always in meetings or at church, so it's probably easier to communicate via email.
Have a good weekend all

Wasnt this the one that I put some people onto and you never returned their calls or emails?
You could have sold it three times by now if you did.
Too late now, they've bought cars

Thanks wannavee. I got a lot of tyre kickers through carsales, and there was a family tragedy right at the time which also happened to be when university started (back to study this year) - I appreciate your effort but I had other things to look after at the time.

It is off carsales, I'm hoping it would go to someone who knows what they're looking for. I'll try to take some more pictures today!

yes still here! 8500 with QLD rego
if you are from interstate you can expect a few hundred off, coz rego and plates won't be any good to you!
