My point was more that for a potential buyer evaluating the option of importing 1 including costs headaches vs buying an already imported car may be justified by the asking price. 2 hours ago, NickF said: I think I'm becoming a bit of a pedant but for a "restored" car over $100000 I would expect it to be a little closer to "original" or a lot further away. As in OEM wheels, and engine bay hoses etc..? I guess it will be an interesting 1 to watch to see if it fetches the premium. It sounds like it's well known in the HK community of vintage car owners so may attract a premium for having a reputation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilltech Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Quote Rust on the rear bumper is interesting. Am not surprised. HK would surely not be an ideal place to keep a classic car, thanks to a mix of salt air, humidity, fairly high rainfall, and, so I've been told, for the better heeled who live in elevated areas 'up in the clouds' with all the airborne moisture that that entails. gav240z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same bloke in Melbourne who keeps buying all the Zeds. Sounded like a pretty tidy car was in storage for a while, all original bits just needed a bit of work. gav240z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators gav240z Posted November 2, 2021 Author Administrators Share Posted November 2, 2021 I've noticed this with quite a few classic cars lately. RBA is saying rates will to up etc.. maybe for a bit but they will come right back now at next crisis. OdinZ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilltech Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Interesting, I like the colour. Better priced now. Being picky perhaps but I wouldn't call it 'original' seeing as the original motor has been replaced with a 260 motor complete with flat tops. Why? Are new / repro consoles available for the '71? And is that front bumper off a '73? Looks wrong... gav240z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I thought. Not my definition of 'original'. Reminds me of a Zed I went to see many years ago. It was advertised as a 260 2-seat but had 240 panels and parts, an amalgamation of two cars. Wasn't for me. gav240z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
