GuyWithAviators Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Looking at buying this fine specimen, then taking my spare glass to it and driving back to CHCH. It's in Greymouth. Possibly driveable, waiting to hear back on details. 11755788_10153507561409791_128641210990240353_n by GuyWithAviators, on Flickr 11700659_10153507561094791_608770719350948587_o by GuyWithAviators, on Flickr If I do buy it I won't be able to get there for a while from AKL. So I might be after somewhere to leave it for a few weeks. A lawn with a tarp over the windows would be fine. Thanks, Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igor Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 You have to buy that thing and save it. Wolseley is like the Fairlane equivalent of ADO16s. What're the odds of driving it back without getting caught though? Looks pretty dodgy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyWithAviators Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 The bodywork looks too stuffed to be economical to fix (sledgehammer apparently - don't piss off your girlfriend). But it looks like a goldmine of parts for mine, rust cuts, running gear etc. And the interior is tidy, which mine isn't. I have spare lights and windscreens which I'd take there, put on and then drive it to my parents in CHCH. I think it would be fine, has current WOF and reg.

igor Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Nah, still looks worth saving. Have you actually seen it or only pictures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyWithAviators Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 Just those pictures and some of the seats. Not ruling out saving it if it does look better IRL though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuyWithAviators Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 Easy enough to do that but where's the fun? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve74 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I'm in greymouth, looks somewhere rural, any other clues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyWithAviators Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 Not really any other clues. But the guy has said it can stay there as long as I need. So that solves my issue (well the car storage issue, not the BMC Foamer issue, that's never going to go away ) 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
