I went past Friday last week, it definitely wasn’t there. The whole yard looked almost like it wasn’t operating much at present.

I don't know why but you sure don't see many '64 Ferrari 250 GTOs any more.

I’ve seen three Triumph Stags recently. A rough yellow one driving cityward on Epping Rd Macquarie Park, a red one broken down on the Roseville Bridge westbound, and a dark blue one on Warringah Rd, eastbound.
There can’t be many left, that I’ve missed! |

1975 I sold 2 Mini Coopers and load of camera gear to buy a Stag, what a beast of a machine. then sold that for a Fiat 124 Pinnafarina convertible. only 3 in NZ at that time

I've got a Triumph Stag in factory Mallard. It took years to sort out all the mechanical and electrical gremlins. Good examples are getting rare now. Fun car to drive though !

XF ute.
Maybe not super rare, but they are in this condition. I see this particular one some mornings. Super neat and clean. Looks like its not even 12 months old. |

Also: late model Torana sedan (1978 UC???), full reg, driven by old bloke who might well be the original owner; car was missing the 'SL' or whatever badge from the rear. (I was going to start a new thread on old blokes/one-owner cars ... )

Can I ask what you got for the PVs?...ignore me if you want to keep the info to yourself. I went and looked at a 91 XF PV a fortnight ago.....the amount of rust rules it out as a potential. It wasn't stupid rusty but more than what I wanted to deal with. It was well priced at just over 4k. A very neat one was over 3 times that which I did not bother to investigate. |

The Vedette had a small flathead V8 (based on the Ford V8 60, I think). I saw one at a car show a few years ago and the owner had fitted a Lexus (?) supercharger to it. With a car like that he could be a member of a Chrysler club
