Stephen i think you may hold some kind of record for number of cars bought(& sold) in the shortest amount of time!!:P

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....

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

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...:cool:
Good Find... I'm :puke... Want one of those... but it will be at the end of a long list of projects...:(

stephenianjames - April 12th, 2005 at 08:35 PM

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 - April 12th, 2005 at 08:52 PM

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

ps

i like the colour

stephenianjames - April 12th, 2005 at 09:13 PM

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!
