not so sure the s/w or wasp's are available here. there is a GT in town here being rebuilt for sale but he wants to much for it.
Alistars car is tidy to look at not so sure the owners since looked after it so much. I have a large issue with chassis rust and other hassles which I need to look at.
Seems alot of the repairs under the car have had body filler added in lue of weld. Its has rekindled my hate of underseal.

Not so sure about where he lives. He wanted 10k for the GT has done a fair bit of work on it. Maybe not so bad of a price. Will be ok just they now want the car certified after repairs. I will need to do other things also.

Welcome on board dude!

I put your email address into Google a couple of different ways to make sure you weren't a spam-bot (we had a bit of a problem with insane amounts of porn so have to vet off every application) but yours came up clean.

If you know of anyone who tried to join but was not approved let me know, but I've gotten good at spotting them.

Faith in the Exige92 handle paid off! Welcome! Put some pics up!

Cheers,

Dave

Welcome on mate!
You have a nice collection there. I like that you list Belletts as cars & a BMW as 'hack'.
Nice to inherit a one owner car, a friend has an original 504 she loves & says is completely reliable. Dr. Karl had one for years too & loved(s) it.
Please show us your cars in "My Bellett"
Cheers, Matt.

bullitt.... only sedans were assembled in NZ. as stated there were a few full imports, both in sedans and a single GT.
no Wasp or Express ever went to NZ.

as far as i can work out, only Australia got a few Wasps, and maybe some went to South America, but outside of Japan, that's it.
the Express was Japan-only.

cheers.

1 Express made it to our shores that I have personally seen, smelt & touched.
Private import by elderly Japanese gentleman northwest of Townsville.
He bought it new and when he moved here to live with his daughter after his wifes passing he brought the car with him.
He said he will be buried in the car when he goes.

I've tried to find him again since to get pics of the car at least but haven't been so lucky.

Nice story sticky! Now that is a pic we would ALL like to see. Keep searching!
Would be a shame to bury it.
Cheers, Matt.
