they're in narranderra so i don't think too much of a drive for you
would you like the roof cut off completely
or the "fish bowl" style as in the grey one in spotto (we need a yuk or vomit emoticon
)
seriously for such a basic colour scheme that's a really nice one

Thank you everyone.
If Narranderra is not too far from Melbourne then I might just try to make it too!!
Did someone say it's only 3hours from Melb??
Cheers guys,
Han.

You'll miss out on the best part of owning an early. I enjoy getting in mine everyday, makes the drive home from work sooooo much nicer.

Yes, I know but it would hurt seeing the mileage creep up though...
I will keep her dry and only drive on beautiful sunnny days. She's probably only gonna go out 2 to 3 times in a year and on short runs
My best mate has a beautifully restored 64 EH,so we will both take the girls out together and hopefully the wives won't be too jealous

You not taking it to Narrandera then?
Why limit driving it to 2 or 3 times a year, it's about time that car got enjoyed and driven, like it was made to do

Trev,
I am undecided as to whether or not ill take her up. I still need to fly to Sydney in order to meet Steve, and view the car
Flying up around mid April, can't wait!!..
I am not driving it often because of the low miliage and condition.
If I wanted a daily driver i'd be buying a cheaper car to cruise in,maybe in the future
Cheers,
StealthEK

Thanks for the input, but no I wouldn't do such thing to any car. That's just me though. Besides, this car has too good of a history to tarnish it
Cheers,
