Your right Ratty, I forgot about an added accessory Oil Filter :lol:

Thanks Jim, the seat feels like a lounge chair.

it's amazing for such a seemingly dull boreing colour (white) how good FB/EK's look in that colour

Hi NoMAD, I won't have that challange with this car next year, as we are only laking FB's for their 50th 8)

Thanks Trev. FB's are still better :shock: :D

Cheers Cal, Grahame the last owner was so meticulous with the EK's care. There were sheets over the trim, with mats over mats on the mint original floor mats. I was blessed to be driving home when this car came up for sale. I had to drive right by the car.

Mick, I think it's the shade that makes it. If it was refrigerator what like my Hiace, it wouldn't look as good. It's the tint of cream in original Snowcrest that makes it.

Thanks Matto, I am thrilled and so is the family. This car eases the pain of losing the ones I have and are about to.

We have decided to buy original Paint car, as clean as we can find them. Hard to find them better than this.

Thanks Cal, I won't have time to register the car for the Reds Big day out on Sunday, though, you can pop by the warehouse and take a look after the show if you wish.

I owe the find to a friend of mine, Owen Woodgate. Owen called me to say the he had picked up Just Cars. We both remembered the car from Brisbane and Forbes. It always helps in a quick decision when something is advertised and you know the car :)

Was that car at the (I think) '04 nats at the pub with no beer ?
There was one that colour owned by a bloke from the Central Coast ? for sale - we were in the same motel as him. Was asking $9k and that was top dollar at the time - goes to show how much they have appreciated in just 5 years......
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

I'm starting to think you have a time machine and you go back to the 60s and buy these cars.

If you do, do you hire the machine out.

Nice Cars.

The Guy I purchased the car off lived in Medowie. North of Newcastle. He didn't own the car until 2007. Previous owner lived in Forbes. Must be a different car. Where is it, where is, quick I wants it, I needs it :)
