I have been thinking of buying myself a classic car again for sometime now. As it has been some years since i had one. Having to go to Hobart hospital (nothing major) last Thursday i had a search on gumtree and there was an ebay link there for an old classic car. Thinking it would likely be on the big island i clicked the link and found out it was near Hobart.
That got me more interested so i continued to look at the add reading the description and looking at the photos. Turns out this car is the same colour, engine and transmission combination just a lower spec model of a car i sold to make my move from Brisbane to Tasmania some 13 years ago.
A mate of mine has been on my case for years to get another one of these so now he can back off Haha as i bought it. Now wating for another friend to pick it up and deliver it to my place some 350+ klm away on his tilt tray truck.
Anyone know what this car is?
I am really looking forward to getting this car home and getting it sorted to hit the roads again. As these bring a big smile to my face when driving them:)
If you are interested in following my progress with this car let me know in the comments. If peaple are keen i will blog my progress here on steemit.
Nice find mate,
My partner has a 72 Leyland Bus that she is fitting out as a sort of bush shack. It does actually run but getting it regoed would be to much work/money.

The last one of these i had would sometimes lift the front enough that you could not steer it for a little bit. Good fun indeed:)

It is in good condition for an unrestored 45 year old car. Got it for a little under $2000 AUD.

Nice hope you can find a good one for a good price. I had a HQ wagon years ago and my brother inlaw has a HQ sedan with the 253 V8 and premier front.

Geez if that looks as good in the metal as it does there, you're going to have a tonne of fun. Nothing like seeing a classic car still going strong.
(My father in law bought a HR Wagon project a few years ago and restored it from the ground up - I have never seen so many heads turning in appreciation when he drives by.)
