This MGB was reshelled and re registered...... Cant work out why who ever did it didnt rebuild a rotten one etc as this MG is normal tax and has a current NCT.

The beauty of vehicles abandoned in rural Australia - they don't rot!
Im thinking about making an offer either way. Owners don't realise what they have.

Do make an offer, that looks like a '56/'57 and pretty rare, especially in that condition.

okistag · 03-01-2011 06:20PM

I wouldn't mind the HQ wagon in the background!

Its actually nuts how rust free that VW is if you look closely at it, imagine if it was in this country, you could hold an auction!

Might look rust-free in Oz, but after a salty voyage home?

Disclaimer: I cannot see the attraction - but, as they say: "Different Foxes Polos for different boxes"....

that van sure would look deadly rat-rodded but it'll have to pass inspection their or nct here and thats a nightmare in itself let alone getting it road able.

i bet with a battery and some " start ye bast*rd " it'll go first time... not very far but it will turn over.

I have a lot of bad memories from that b1tch of a Holden. They dont survive dirt roads very well! I replaced the back stub axle in it then one of the front ball joints popped within a day.

The Van is in great structural condition, only problem is that its just on 800km west of sydney in the middle of no where.

I was driving the Morris Mini Traveller above on the New Years Run from Douglas to Roberts Cove where those photos were taken. Very enjoyable day.

Spotted this earlier today in Stillorgan:

^ Seems this car took part in the Paris to Peking (Beijing) rally.

Beautiful Car mate. Can't beat the old Mini's. Would you have any link or email for the club that organize runs? I'd love to photograph the old cars again.

I used own/drive one like this, bought it in Dublin for 95 quid, it had Butterlys Eggs written across the front so thats what we called it.
between it and the ex ESB Vw van I bought at auction for 32 quid I spose i had a fleet of them.

Regrets, ive had a few, too few to mention

I remember playing in one at the back of a garage in my youth taught it was cool back then if only I'd known what it'd eventually be worth!

Out of curiosity, what would the one above be worth here?

Today I saw a classic and took a pic thread!
