seth Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 I discovered some racing Anglias on a NZ website a couple of years ago that were like that fastback one. I'd never seen anything like them before. Here's the link. http://www.anglia-models.co.uk/saloon-photor43.htm In fact that links back to phoos of the red one!

STUNO Posted December 18, 2008 Author Share Posted December 18, 2008 I remember these "breadvan" anglias as that link shows a few are still about. Then I followed the civillian link and came to the same car !It needs a lot of work though . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Front tow ball is good for manoeuvring caravans into tight spots, we had one on the tractor when I worked at a caravan site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STUNO Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 Yes Triumphs were very popular in NZ . they were built here in Nelson along with other BL products.Jag, Rover etc. They were just about totally hand built at the time I saw the plant. Bodies were built on a wooden jig, and then wheeled about the factory for fitting up.Then the Govt. discovered that importing built up from Japan was cheaper.The whole car building industry was shut down and import whatever you like from wherever you like. I don't think the Polonez importer did very well though! But Ladas sold reaonably well.Someone even got hold of a shipful of Lancia Betas which had apparently been sitting on the docks in Singapore (salt air & humidity) for about 12 months. They sold here but don't appear to have lasted well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STUNO Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 Spotted a mk1 Escort for sale for $20,000 and thought scene tax had arrived in NZ . Turns out it is a dealer - special, badged 1600 GT and carried a Ford Warranty. Lovely nick but expensive!!The air cleaner is the only non-standard bit.Then a Zodiac that's like new for half the price! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
