This has been my wife's daily driver for about 3 years. It has been the most reliable car we have ever owned without exception. The need for an airconditioned car, and a new project car has left us with no choice but to sell it. If space werent an issue I would definately be keeping it, as it has enormous potential. This is a great little cruiser and the Semi auto makes it effortless.

Is it registered now?


Euro_67 - July 8th, 2006 at 05:59 PM

nope, but just a formality really, too easy. I have 'till the end of the month before a Blue slip is required. Even so I have been advised that Blue Slip is no probs as it is very mechanically & structurely (rust) sound.

If I was you I would just register it. It can turn into a shit fight if any engineer decides he doesn't want another old car on the road.. (I've done it). Good luck selling.

You need to find an inspection centre that knows what they are doing. They need to know legitimately what they can pass and what requires genuine scrutiny. Most of my bad experiences for pink and blue slip inspections, have been at the hands of dodgy servo operators trying to score some extra work for thier workshop, and not due to real issues with the vehicles. I hate that they think if they fail your car it automatically means the get the rectification work.

Wayne I dont believe this has not sold. When I saw it I wanted it its so straight and rust free looks a bit dogie as it has been loved so much it has some thin paint from polishing but purely asthetic. If you gave it a squirt of paint it would be a gem This car is mechanically perfect great wheels and tyres its a deal. Mitchell
