D: Okay, thanks for.....
What breed of tyres are you using?
165 R 15 not much of a choice.
Unless you fancy Longstone Tyres in the UK for Michelin, or Stuckey in Melbourne.
Both good companies to deal with I might add.

145 or 142 would be lovely. So too would be an early 144 sedan.
Or a 242 non GT, or a mint early 245 or 245L....
ha, I knew I'd go full circle to the 245L again.
MarkC in Perth has an interesting 142, I'll have more info tomorrow. I think it might've done more miles in the last 10 years on a truck.

There's a 74 model 142 with a B20B twin Stromberg engine and a 4-speed on eBay right now,jackafrica;99539 wrote145 or 142 would be lovely.

I own one that is very similar, but somebody converted mine from being exactly the same spec, to an auto B20A. :(

Thanks, been there for a few days now, it's on the radar. Posted on the thread in RADAR Section.
Truthfully, seeking a better example, in any model I've listed in the thread heading.
Yes, prepared to wait, ready to pay. Not looking for a project.
So far haven't seen an example which is currently registered and driven.
Thanks again, I do appreciate folk looking out.
Cheers,
Richard

Also, call Mark during the day, he isn't an email or return call sort of guy.
Or call Berry's reception and tell em what you want and for Mark to call.

It's a time and patience thing.
Great looking red car, the interior isn't my speed. Call me a turtle.
Thanks for the encouragement.
I'm working with MarkC from Perth WA who made an offer to me. Something may well come of it.
Freight out of WA to Hobart is prohibitive and eye watering expensive.
come on jackafrica toughen up!

Good one Mark, looking forward to free freight to Tassie. What a guy!markc88;99620 wrotecome on jackafrica toughen up!
Let's get that trucked up, 10 years off the road puppy hummin'.
Thanks for the conference call. Your cobber might've been conservative, and you..... :3
you would hate me by Northam !
That's nearly a day trip by our Tassie standards I'll have you know.

You are aware they are 30-40 year old cars, and all need work. What's wrong with the interior on the 244 berry's have? Not your speed? We'd?
Why not fly over to Perth and drive it home? Would make for a nice trip.
