While i may have slightly under represented the amount of time required to make the trip, it was road close closure near Cardnina damn and the subsequent detour from whence I came via Clematis then Belgrave that blew my timing out of the water!

tazzieman Posted 4March, 2018 Report Share Posted 4March, 2018 The monthly coffee and cars; took the amphibian this time. A few really interesting old cars I hadn't seen in the flesh before (even though Tassy is a small place). Well I have seen this car in passing ; one old guy said he'd give his left nut for it (and that the nut wasn't getting much use anyway!). What are these worth now? Coupla mill?? 1938 Alfa Romeo 6C 2300 Mille Miglia spider. Targa Tas car. Proving there's always some bastard who has a car you can't have +/- afford!

Niko Posted 4March, 2018 Report Share Posted 4March, 2018 I'm a bit partial to the early 70,s Galant in the background. ( I think they were called (Mitsubushi) COLT/GALANTS) although wheels/ hub caps look a bit ordinary. your frog is colour coordinated ... And looking good.

Coastr Posted 4March, 2018 Report Share Posted 4March, 2018 They were called a galant in oz - predecessor to the sigma. Super rare now , and I don’t recall If Australia ever got the two door or not. Years and years since I have seen one on the road. There was a red one with vinyl roof in the family somewhere along the line.

tazzieman Posted 4March, 2018 Report Share Posted 4March, 2018 There is a always a mix of hits from the 20s through to the 80s at this gathering. No-one goes home disappointed. And usually one gets tapped on the shoulder about some barn or another Being a little Fiat biased of late , this little '51 "mouse" aka Topolino was a happy sight. You don't see a mouse and a frog on the same lawn very often. ANF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your right, about Galant, a mate I used to race Datsun"s 1600'S with at Wanneroo got hold of one back in 1974ish, it was a two door with the big mirrors on the front guards. I will see if I can find a photo of it. Loved them then and love them now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Originally just plated under the Mitsubishi mother company, early in the piece, then eventually across to Chrysler, but as far as I know no difference, same car.

Always had a good knowledge of 60's - 80's cars in Australia - Thought the Chrysler one may have been made for import or something like that.

Niko Posted 2April, 2018 Report Share Posted 2April, 2018 Caught up with Chris and David this morning. Went for a sedate drive down to Mornington under overcast skies, for a lovely brekky and chat. I have to say I felt like the red headed, gap toothed, step son amongst this company. David's brand spanker GT3 has about 500k on it from when he picked it up a cou-le of weeks ago. Sitting behind it on the way down was an awesome sight. It is a stand out car without being a stand out...if that makes sense Chris's GT4 looking immaculate as normal after both of us had a terrible time trying to remove road grime from the recent 3 day in the mountains. Do you think I never got a bit of rear spoiler envy... Rotors on the GT3 are bigger than a Toyota Yaris's wheels. Then it was time to head off before the threatening skies opened up.
