Ultimate tow vehicle/ project for handy person $25K
This is an unfinished restoration that requires completion. It's 95% complete with all the important and valuable bits in excellent condition.
I no longer have the time nor energy to complete. This is a rare Australian car and has its original books. There were 2 owners before me, the last being for 10 years and is a well-known car in Brisbane. It has the desirable Navy over Blue colour scheme, with Dove Grey interior. I purchased the car in 2010 and used as daily drive, in this time I reconditioned the 4 speed transmission and power steering (at a cost of over $5k), rebuilt the exhaust system in 414 stainless steel. After that it drove wonderfully, stopped well and was very smooth & powerful. Full Engineering report done in 2012 when I transferred registration to NSW. Currently fully road registered in NSW Estimate to complete;- Balance of bodywork and painting ( $3-5k), Hydraulics $2 - 3k Finished this is easily an $80-90k car and an appreciating asset, it would be a perfect project for someone who has retired or in handy as being a hand-built car they are very easy to work on, all you need is a bit of common sense and time, lots of time. I have e-copy full workshop manual
No trades, swaps or time wasters please - can arrange interstate transport on receipt of cleared funds.

There is a Rolls Ute getting around Bunbury WA. The owner couldn't get the price he wanted when he was updating so he had the back cut off & turned it into a ute to use on the farm. Did a good job of it too.

I cannot tow with mine, nobody sells a towbar
Not such a big job to make one and get it approved.
I built one for the OKA. It is certified for 3.5T.
Cheers,

Hi Peter,
It would tow OK, but the boot is to small and there is no spare.
Possum would you like to share a little more info.
Year, kilometers, cylinders. Please

Thank you for the quick response, I am with a group of motoring people who are active in classics and historic racing, have now brought it to there attention and to pass around the information.
I would love it the minster of financial things is very practical she said "remember my Uncles Warren one did not fit length wise in the garage", I hate it when she is practical.
Hope you have quick sale.
