    • I have 16 of these, new, unused and painted in galvanised paint. Do not ask me how I ended up with them but needless to say it was a self inflicted cock up. These are very pricey. I am open to reasonable offers so that I can buy the correct 944 items. Cheers.
    • So many people get caught up on a piece of paper that is only ever talked about when you buy or sell. An Aussie car, an import, or a properly converted car can all give you the same driving experience. In fact some could argue the cheaper cars are more enjoyable to drive so you don't worry about the 'value'. Once you own the car, no one else knows or cares what the lineage is. I also find the argument that an Aussie car is a better 'investment' flawed. Yes they sell for more money, but the discount for the 'lesser' cars always sits around the same percentage. When the Aussie cars go up or down, so do the 'bastards'. The only ones that really seem to get crazy money are the cars that were bought new and never driven and to me the people who buy and sell those cars aren't real car people anyway.  
    • 1. Or a UK or HK factory RHD 👍   2. You probably will 😅   3. True to a point, yet in these financial times, a lot of these cars aren't exactly that cheap unless it's a rusty shed with a questionable drive train 
    • 110% correct, in earlier days I was fairly stuck on Aussie delivered cars, but times have changed and the problem now is a good Aussie car is expensive (even if it still needs sorting) and best kept standard to retain value, a nice one is a beautiful thing. But not the best base for enhancing performance or building what you really want, the best base for that now is a straight rust free well converted car to build the one most of us really want, you won't upset the purists and the starting price before you begin spending ludicrous amounts of money on it will be more manageable, and allow more to be spent on improvements. Often most will spend too much on a holy grail Aussie delivered car that normally needs everything sorted to some degree anyway, and that doesn't get done because the car cost so much in the first place. These are often the cars that get bought by those coming from modern Porsche's dipping their toes into the  classic world, only to be underwhelmed by the experience of a car below it's potential so understandably revert back. I keep going the other way! but I have always had or put together well sorted cars , there's a big difference. In this latest car of mine the inclusion of the modern electric A/C and the LED light conversion massively improve daily drive duties and on top of the above stock performance takes it well beyond any stock Aussie car experience. However the pool of customers that get that enough to want one is pretty small at the moment, so two very good cars sit there twiddling their thumbs, well below build cost.
    • Yes my car is converted with original factory parts to a high level as verified by RSR Sportscars in Adelaide. I have a very large file of receipts including the relevant parts invoices. Having owned several Aust. Delivered G’s I can’t tell any meaningful difference with a correctly converted car, apart from the moniker.  The “bangers” can be horrible. If would be difficult to buy an Aust delivered car worth owning at the asking price and probably not the correct platform to modify at todays prices.

    • Even though I'd like to give you a bonus 500Mbs for your image library Yeatesy, unforts I can't give selective advantages, no matter how committed and participatory the FM... 🤷‍♂️ So, instead of a 1Gb limit for FM's image libraries... 1.5Gb should sort everyone out?
