    1st was where 4th would be and 4th where 1st would be from memory. It was about 20years ago and never seen on since.
    Pretty much correct. A good mate was a Skoda dealer and I saw a few in his place, plus Ransley Motors in chch I believe were one of the prime movers in getting them built in NZ. Pretty much the car equivalent of an Nzetta...And bear in mind that Don Ransley (ChCh Skoda) and Tom McCleary (ChCh CZ/Jawa agent) knew each other - and it was Tom who was the main driving force who got the Nzetta thing going.
    The body was very like an early Land Rover - capable of being made on a sheet metal folder....

    Let the bloody things all rust away in peace.

    They used Skoda Octavia running gear, which was a conventional layout so was not installed backwards. Several were made with Peugeot 403 or 404 running gear.

    But keep getting further wound up about it. I've said it's over priced, and never said it didn't qualify for this thread.
    You reckon they found another motor with similar miles, which also happens to have been rebuilt, and installed it just because it has "forged" pistons?
    Do you call putting black sticky tape as a repair?

    You really are a thick piece of knob cheese.

    Reckon ya might wanna get your knob looked at man. There shouldn't be cheese there at all, let alone thick enough to use as an euphemism.

    That's cool wonder why the shift pattern was odd layout.

    One of the Fitters in the Post Office Workshops bunged in a P76 motor in his, nearly as cool as the Mechanic called the Flying Nun who had a 2 door Mk Cortina with a P76 engine*

    * P76 was Leyland Australia's attempt at a Falcon/Kingswood style car. Used an enlarged Buick Skylark engine that was later used in Rover V8's, great engines, crap cars.
    DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.
