I, too, lust for one of these. But a word of warning: if you feel at all cramped in the 8's driving position, you'll really feel tight in this. Not for anyone >5'10"

Chaps this has been for sale here fo a while and was wondering on opinions.

Seems a reasonable price?

$54 kiwi and I bet he's negotiable, with 7400 on the dial??

The original seats (in red) means its the Type-B, where the first one is a Type-A.

NZ$54k for a Type-B is expected pricing for its KM.

If you are serious about it, then pay no more than NZ$40k as even at that price it will add to AU$60k with importation, duties, compliance & rego.

With 7400km, I bet it drives like new.........

I may investigate further, thanks guys.

Have the prospect of being here a further year which would make importation back to Aus easier and cheaper. If that doesn't pan out then it would probably be too expensive.

(Wife would probably shoot me anyway since we still have an 56' MG sitting around in Melb. But I'm itchy for another project!)
