You may be right, however hopefully it stops with my two latest acquisitions!

Is it one of these?

stephenianjames ·

yeah Gibbo..it's one of those! Either love it or hate it type of car. I like them because they are very 70's and distinctive

Steve's car buy and sell running total = 43

And u guys think I'm joking!

Then theres the gyms, the golf clubs, the bikes, the tennis racquets, the women, the shetland ponies, the houses....

not to mention the beers this weekend :party:party

stephenianjames ·

43 huh..never could count Pat. Tis 42

Nice but NOT much room i nearly bought one in 1977,

Fossil ·

I did think of getting one also - just cause they looked different and were based on a beetle

I've got an old sales brochure for the Purvis Eureaka from Manx Buggies up here in QLD, they were the distributors up here.

Didnt plan on getting one, however it just showed up and I bought it on a whim. Sometimes when opportunity knocks you have to open the door!

Wont be able to do anything with it for quite a while, but unlike other cars it wont rust away waiting for some love, so I can live with that.

Love the colour.. it really suits that car... I hope your going to keep it as that...😎
Good Find... I'm :puke... Want one of those... but it will be at the end of a long list of projects...🙁

stephenianjames ·

didn't like the colour so much at first but it's grown on me..will keep if the gelcoat is in good enough nick.

Otherwise a dark metallic grey might be the go

Bizarre ·

is this a "one day" project or will it be on the road b4 christmas???

ps

i like the colour

stephenianjames ·

defintely a 'one day' project,,the square takes priority as it's going and could probably get on the road in a couple of months or so!
