Nice...'61?

Ahhh! 1961 - 40hp, all-synchro box etc., etc. I can still remember the thrill of picking up my brand new Ruby Red '61! You'll love it (you'd better).

Cheers, and welcome, Greg

Yeah im loving it!
Already driven it about 1000kms from Adel to Melbourne and a bit of running around. The Syncro box shifts like a champ but the engine is a bit of a slug, not too sure what i wanna do with that yet. Would love to be able to keep up with traffic and sit on 110kph :?: but i do like the charm of the 1200 engine.
