Hi Rich,
Yes, for a month I kept looking at that tangerine 3.6 RS replica for sale in Sydney. I finally flew down to have a close look and it arrives in Brisbane tomorrow.
Although I have the most understanding wife in the world, even I have to admit that there has to be a limit. There is simply no car space left. So we'll see what happens.
Regards,
John

T is well priced and looks great, good luck.

I think for WIW the tangerine car will be a lot of fun.

Thanks Andrew. I am really pleased with the '71T result.
With respect to the tangerine car, it certainly has some "get up and go" and I'm sure it will provide me with more than a few exciting moments.
Regards,
John

Hi John, that 71T has certainly come a long way from when I found it still painted Yellow. Given all the work I did on it plus what you have done, including getting it back to original French Blue, it should be a fantastic car for someone. I doubt there's anything left to do but fill the tank and head off for a great drive !

I am happy to vouch for aspects of the car that I know well for anyone interested. I have heaps of pics of all the work I did which I think I provided to John on CD ?

Hi Phil,
I knew you'd recognise the car. The beautiful presentation of the engine compartment as a result of your work is a dead give away. It is a great car and I will be genuinely sorry to see it go.
Regards,
John

For those new members who probably havent followed this car, its a testament to how a car that struggled to get a mid teens price when sold on Australian ebay (from the guy i bought it off) , can now look so magnificent having had the attention put into it by both myself and John (especially the new paint), and will be a joy for someone to own and will no doubt, continue to increase in value and be a very useable daily driver.

I was very surprised at just how well this car ran when I drove it at one of our Nationals events down Gippsland way a few years back. For a 2.2, it went extremely quick. John knew it needed paint when he bought it as the French Blue was very evident underneath the bright yellow paint, so I was very pleased to see it back to its original colour.

Hopefully the car will remain in the club with a happy new owner.
