There's a Herald at an engineer's down the road awaiting restoration. Looks to be in pretty excellent nick body wise, outside is straight looking (looks like rooted original paint) and the bulkhead is in pretty good condition for a Herald that is untouched.
Makes me need a classic again.

There's a 76 BMW 520 down south I really, really fancy (I had one a few years ago, NZ new 73, was a grouse car). Far better engineered car than the P6 was. But, that's not unexpected :msn-wink:

Hmmmm....... They cost much less than that when they were new.

That flavour of red does not hold its value on any model :no:

[Virago]

Hmmmm....... They cost much less than that when they were new...

Yeah, but you can't really make a direct comparison of price on old cars though. If they sold for say $3,500 in 1970, that would be around $53,000 today, adjusted for inflation (using the Reserve Bank calculator). So on those calculations the relative asking price is only around 12% of the "new cost".

Edit: It can be interesting doing relative cost comparisons. In 1948, the Jaguar XK120 sports car sold for 1,263 Pounds (say $2,600NZ). That cost, adjusted for inflation, is around $187,000. Puts the cost of a new Jaguar sports car in perspective, eh? A good XK120 sells for around $50,000 to $60,000 these days (around 30% of "new cost").

A twin carb A60! 1700? , that's a big jump from 1622.

[Indiana_Jones]

I'm sure that's just a typo in regards to the cc. I can only assume that it's twin carb'd due to the fact it has an MG badge on it. I'd imagine autos would be pretty rare for these (compared to the Wolseley ones)?

-Indy

[pete376403]

Morris 1100 tail lights?

[Motu]

How can you typo 1700 instead of 1622 ? That's the early model with big fins, they trimmed them down later on. Most MG and Riley badged BMC's had twin carbs....I had a twin carb manifold for my 1622, just one of things I never got around to.

I hate to say it, but that was the only good vehicle to come from the BMW/ROVER thing.

Dealers were selling them at 40% off on the very week after the failure of the venture was announced.

After all this stuff was sorted and BMW gave out a heap of cash to take the lemon off their hands, Rover was one of my clients up at Warwick University. What a fiasco that was and run by a bunch of know nothing morons. They let the Indians have all their R&D data before the rescue deal was signed. The Indians then said "thanks for the free IP and goodbye. We got what we wanted and it was FOC" :brick:

Still..... at least the directors got their gravy train pensions sorted out before the collapse. Dumb arse know nothing selfish shit for brains wankers.

Hey Ed, that's spot on. I had the 1700 engine in my 1979 Marina and apart from the front shocks being too soft (as standard), the engine was super and as quick as most of my friends 2.0 power units. I advanced the timing by 10% on mine, as I was very much a higher revs driver in those days, because I was young and stupid. OK.. OK.. Younger and Stupider :shit:.

Yep! Up the Albany hill, a 2lt Cortina could only keep up with me, but not gain on me. Mine was a 1980 and I had it on CNG for most of the time.

We stuck a stage 3 head on my Mini 1000 (my uncle did the work mainly). When you eventually got some traction, it shocked a few >2l drivers up to 80Mph. It wasn't much good any faster. The head gasket didn't last as long as I'd hoped :no: Something to do with not installing a rev counter :shit:

I drove one like that once in a grasskhana.

The big deal was that it had been converted to left-hand drive by 'flopping' the rack&pinion and column.

So it went right when you turned left.

The passenger operated the pedals and gear-stick, 'driver' just steered remembering to turn the wheel left for a right turn.

GREAT fun, especially after after a jar or two...:msn-wink:.

Nicer to drive than a Jag, mainly because most were autos and power steer. A Jag with no power steering and a truck gearbox is not easy to drive. And Edward Turner designed the engine, that's enough reason for a biker to want one.

There were many pretty and tasty cars in the historic/classic class for the Otago, I think there were 44 classics entered? We managed 7th over all and 2nd in the NZRC Historics, which is a solid result :headbang:

I used to love my mother's old '66 Mk1. Beautiful and comfy on a long trip. A bit tricky on the gravel roads though, with front wheel drive, radial tyres and power disc brakes. You had to get used to it after the old rear drive Humber 80 with 15" crossply's.

My Bro-in-law used to do them up for dirt track racing. Locked in 2nd gear, solid drive universals and heavily worked motor. Was very successful esp. because of the side mounted radiator being well protected from accident damage. Plus being built like a tank! :niceone:

Great on a trip, with no body roll, and great on gravel roads too. We built a house at Onetangi on Waiheke Island, and had to go up Seaview Rd, a very neglected road (also part of the TT course) and our Singer Vogue (Hillman Hunter) would be axle tramping all the way up in 2nd gear, no way could you get into 3rd. I tried several cars up there, even a Mercedes, then tried an 1800 - and it could go up in 3rd gear, smooth as...so I bought it, my second MkI Austin 1800. The hydrolastics really show their advantage in a long wheelbase, the Mini was too short for them.

My father had one of those; the previous owner was a farmer who used it as a farm truck, caring sheep and hay in the back of it. It needed quite a lot of cleaning.
I learned to drive in it, and took my driving test in it (at 15). The cop took me round the Government Gardens in Rotorua, and got me to do manoeuvres that just weren't possible, like a 3-point turn on a road slightly wider than the car. I passed anyway, but only just.
Bike test was easier - cop said, "Is that red bike (CB175) yours? Meet me in the carpark, and we'll go for a blat!"
My father nearly toasted the 1800 because he was still driving the fooker even though he was almost blind. Sold it to my eldest sister, and bought an Austin Maxi. :blink: That was MUCH easier to spin up...:Oops:

I usually shop at Turners Auctions, good for getting 3 to 4 year old ex-lease vehicles at a fraction of their retail value. I bought my 2006 BF Falcon in 2010 for $8K, retail value $14-$15K.

Yes indeed, the finishing and attention to detail is quite outstanding :yes:

That's a genuinely nice car... however, in the first pic, what's the blue "puddle" under the car?

[Indiana_Jones]

A water valve cover? lol

Yea she's a lovely looking machine, there was a story about it in the Wolseley Word this month. I'd be tempted to buy it if it were to come up for sale.

Pretty much where I want to get my car to, slowly :niceone:

Looks like a cover over a mains tap or similar I reckon:confused:

The paint had yet to dry and it was running down to the grass and formed a puddle.

Spoilt it really!

So relieved it's not the Wolseley bleeding blue blood...

Fair comment, I wouldn't say no to a tidy Riley Kestrel (ADO16) :niceone:

I'd be a Jag man too, but sadly that's well out of my operating budget as it currently stands.

According to the Q&A it will be removed and I'm surprised you'd let something so trivial put you off :lol:

toby box lid,

Finally...someone got it right.:first:


Here are a couple of really crappy pics of the crabs...........

[Moi]

What is the world coming to? a blue toby box lid? what's wrong with a cast iron one?

Most likely solution, though do like dangerous' suggestion "colour matched drip tray"...

Fair enough, as it's a Mk. I, they're getting a bit thin on the ground. The fact that they rot for fun doesn't help.

I gotta ask why you think landrovers are hard to work on. IMHO they are easy to work on, not that I have any experience with them......much.....

Poor old Gypsy

Less aluminium = more steel = much much more rust.

I gotta ask why you think landrovers are hard to work on. IMHO they are easy to work on,

Designed and built when labour was cheap, they weren't concerned about easy access or how things were to be worked on in later life. They are labour intensive to work on, twiddling spanners because you can't get a ratchet let alone air tools into where you need to get. A lot of it is good simple basic engineering with the knowledge and tooling of the time. I worked on a lot of Series IIA's in the '90's, before the Jap's got their 4x4's sorted, they were well worn but still serviceable.

[YellowDog]

My office was based in Deepcut and surrounded by the army barracks. >40 year old Land Rovers, with the obvious evidence of service work to keep them on the road, were everywhere. Zero sophistication, but everything was accessible and serviceable out in the field. They were selling some off and I put my name down, but the squaddies bought them all as runabouts :(
