Selling quickly to get a 240
Got from old enthusiast a few months back.
Overall it's a great car.
No rego
Needs water pump gasket. I thought heater core too, but can't find leaks.
Has over 200,000km can't remember exactly. Very strong engine, flawless performance.
Has spare wheel on with barely legal tread, needs new tyre (kumho ku 19?)
Leather is in mint condition. Whole car is in very good condition, I'm sad to see it go.
New windscreen and seals
Silver metallic duco is polished and waxed. Minimal marks on exterior, boot lid average.
Stock wheels are rather boring.
I wanted to make it a super cruiser for weekend drives.
Will take $1000 as is. Worth plenty more!
Located in Eastern Shore Tasmania
Can get pics
Can't upload from current loc.
Cheers

Interest in direct trade for 240?
Aussie240
There is a pearler here in Hobart, one owner, sky blue. Gagging for +T or small block. Old guy wants $3000 for it, worth every cent I'd say.
More pics to this evening

@Aussie240 , start another thread for that. This is a bit of a highjack.....

Still for sale
Was selling to get 240, but it's not for sale anymore.
Buy this, fix = win
Transplant 6 into other chassis = win
Anyone in Tas?
Ex850R
Swap Mike still?

I still have a number of nice Manual 240's available

Logistics too hard,
Water pump gasket isn't good for 100's km, too risqué

Change before the drive , not hard.

Did some digging, previous owner mr m iceton from Vic!
This car gets around!

Finally got the 960 back on my property, it has been stored off-site for a bit.
Bonnet has hinge alignment issue
ODO has 280,000
Took off the belt cover, definite water pump gasket failure. Belt tensioner looks fiddly, perhaps extremely tensiony and I cant quite loosen it all up!
Missing under tray (plastic shieldy under engine)
Ive had heaps of randoms on gumtree call me up, one guy wants the instrument cluster (something about VDO or whatever)
I gave it a good bath, wiped it down, its all nice.
Engine goes really well, has a beautiful sound in the upper revs.
Auto shifts perfectly, sports mode is great.
Id drive it If I could do the pump without borking the whole thing but my experience with tensioners and timing is NOT good.
Also, I just CBF'd with the stupid randoms calling and filling up my day with rubbish emails......

Yes it is my old car, bought it from pickles a few years ago had slight crash damage so I repaired the car and sold it on, left front crash damage B-)

how hard is it to put rego on it?
I could be convinced to fly down, fix it and drive it back if putting rego onto it in tas is easy

unregistered permit ?
Ex850R
Most other states are OK with permit but NSW cops are bastards.

NSW are fine with interstate permits. Driven with Qld, Vic and ACT on Volvos in NSW and never pulled over.

Rego inspection similar to to blue slip at a mechanics then give a surprsingly small amount of money to Service TAS office people.

It's $48 for 28 days I think.
I took the front timing cover off, pump gasket failed big time.
If I can figure out the tensioner Voodoo this arvo it might be good for a tinker and fix up.
Bonnet is interesting, very tricksy hinges! May need to slot some holes to make it better.
