Shighte seeing V. scrap NZ .Show n Shine today..

[fotorabia]

The Triumph TR Registrar were in town..and altho well publicised we came across them by mistake..so parked the Viva out of snobs view and admired the unobtainable..

 

 

 

This ones bumper was in Christchurch getting rechromed..now lying under a pile of bricks..ah well..

Possibly only a personal thing, but I really think the TR7 looks so out of place amongst all those earlier cars. Absolutely not in the same league!

[fotorabia]

Over the last week...lovely Zephyr

 

 

went out to neighboring Waverley..their old Town Hall which could have been bought for a song..

out the back of it..

Isuzu..Tuned by Europeans..scrapped by Kiwis

anyones guess

Mitsi V3000

Rover P6 in major pile up back here in town

Victor being brought back to life..

Nice patina on Valiant Ranger

Getting diesel at Turakina..loverly Cortina darling..

and great old P4 at Sanson today with no paint..

[55bloke]

Love the Mk 2 Cortina - judging by the colour, and the dash, it's a 1600E - getting diesel?

[Richard]

I think fotorabia was the one getting diesel.

some great stuff there. I've got a sister in NZ, time for a visit I think.

what's the score with exporting something like this from NZ? any problems? apart from sun bleaching there does not seem to be any serious rust on any of the old tin out there

Buy in areas non coastal naturally..if its got MOT and rego..i think u can still use it in UK..and with that..u can Roll on Roll Off easily enough..and go from most ports in NZ

Exchange rates works in your favour..but cult classics still can be pricey..but we do have more rarer and obscure..plus rot free factor

[fotorabia]

At one of our local op-shops today..talked to an old Maori woman who was rather proud of her Nissan Silvia..

and I think Ive posted this before..another old lady immaculate Mazda 323 wagon

and at the supermarket..a Mazda beside a Ford...or vice versa..in the handicap parking

and the baddest HA around..

and same garage..coolest Bellet ive seen..apart from a GT coupe version which i havent yet photographed

and Town and Country-Surrey UK imported Suziki Alto Auto..you could see where the English plate was originally..and its an old import by the plate age

Mitsi Geneva Mirage

Ropey Ford Falcon..cheap as chups nowadays due to 4.1 engine size...and Ford Australia have finally killed the line after nrly 50 years

and its Holden counterpart on the other side of the street

Street metallic brown Valiant

and lastly small Holden Barina shite

[VWPowered]

that Zephyr is stunning, wouldnt mind a go in that HA Viva

[chaseracer]

SHIT. THE. BED.

 

 

Is that still running three approximately-located leaf springs, d'you think?

 

[fotorabia]

Palmerston Nth advertised a retro weekend..so I topped the oil leak on the Viva up..and my retro attired harem and I set off...Sanson market on the way provided us with more cheap retro pieces..and a couple of HB Vivas to photograph..but the actual Retro Fair was an utter abysmal affair..crap stalls selling new retro shite..a few Matchbox stands..and the Car Show was actually all Hot Rods and apart from a couple of 60s stock Holdens..it was the normal stuff..still quite cool...but $125000 fibreglass 32 Fords just dont heat up my mustard..

$300 minus the wheels..no thanks

V6 i think..and a twat oggled my harem and offered me $700 for the Viva..get fucked

AMC Rebel..a left hooker..usually a righty cos they did sell them here

Wrong setting on me camera..so looks wierd...39 Ford

Chrysler

Falcon GTHO 351..if its the real deal...worth a Lotto win

Later n cheaper version..XD

Onto the show..wierd lighting..so caught between to flash or not to flash..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And as we were leaving..the coolest non show car pulled up..49 Caddie Fastback..the guys were quite cool..wasnt theirs ..belonged to their brother so he knew nothing about it!
