Classic cars

[Guest deborah]

I have previously had quite a few classic British sports cars.

(see avatar)

 

I am thinking of re-kindling this interest when we move to OZ.

 

Are there many 50's-60's British sports cars over there?

 

Or should I buy one over here and ship it out.

 

I guess I will need to do this soon, so that I can have ownership of it for the minimum 6 months?

There are quite a few classics here,lots of Aus and US stuff as well.

As the weather is kinder ( and no salt on roads) they last long.

Do you see many for sale?

Do you see many for sale?

 

There are always a few for sale.

Must admit I don't take too much notice.

 

There are classic car clubs and lots of meets here (Show N'Shines)

 

I'm sure you can tap into the network once here.

 

I passed a lovely Frogeye Sprite the other day in BRG - funny looking things.

I'm trying to get an idea of prices and if it would be better to buy an OZ car or import one from the UK?

Have a look in www.tradingpost.com.au under south australia. If your car is old enough you will be able to take part in the annual Bay to Birdwood Rally. This is a car drive of past relics(LOL) that goes in convoy from Glenelg to Birdwood in the hills, ending at the Birdwood Mill which has a car museum.

OH has just bought a 1966 Austin Healey Sprite - does that count as a "Classic"?

 

Also if you don't mind watching other people driving them, there is the annual Adelaide Classic Rally - http://www.classicadelaide.com.au/ca08/index.asp

When was the last time you saw a Mini van in the UK?

I've seen several over here.

Also Mk1 and Mk2 escorts.
