Known History
One owner up untill
1995. Second owner till 1999 when I bought it and had it shipped across
to Oz. 102000 genuine miles showing
Full rebuild on the motor/trans and steering immediately on arrival.
Engine had less than ½thou wear in the bores. No measurable
wear on the bearings. But the rings had collapsed so it was using
huge amounts of oil. We rebuilt it to absolute standard. Lot of trouble
finding standard size pistons. But we got them from America.
Since driven it to Adelaide twice in 40+ heat. Best A/C system I've
ever experienced. Man it's cold!!!
