This is an incredibly difficult thing to do, I have put blood into getting this thing on the road, but I plan on moving and I'm afraid I cannot take this car with me. I have not offered it for sale anywhere else yet.
$7800

P.S. I have been sitting here for the last 10 minutes not wanting to hit the post button.
Sorry, I forgot to mention that the car is in Gymea (Sydney) NSW.

I had a look at this car just before Mike put it up for sale, and I had a drive of it.
The car is in very good condition, I reckon that it is well worth what is being asked for it.
It drives so smoothly too. I drove it from a cold start up, after a short period of time to warm up. The engine pulls very well, no hesitation. The clutch works beautifully as do the brakes. Gear selection is a breeze and it holds itself in gear too.
I'd have to say that it is a well sorted out, very original car.
Thank you for the kind words.
Mike
