Ive recently moved to the central outback of Australia..to Uluru..formerly known as Ayers Rock...which is my work backdrop..its all resort based..we live in the workers accommodation...its a pretty small place..so not much to find apart from these two...I'm negotiating for the 1982 Merc 230..its the 4cyl. 136PS auto model..rust free...and I'm not sure what the story with Corolla is but its lack of plate means it could have been abandoned...    Guy who owns the Merc is a bittofadick...he may want heaps for it..[isolation and cashed up workers mean high local prices]...and the Sprinter beside it is awesum....but to afraid to ask on that one.. |

Ok lets have some "What car is that" fun people! Just been in New Zealand on a campervan road trip, was driving through a random town in central Otago, south island when this caught my eye....  <screeeeech, reverse, engine off, out of the door with camera in hand within 3 seconds dead> That's our hired camper in the background! It was parked up outside a locked garage and yard with a wire fence, this was in front of it:  Then I noticed these:   Then I looked through the wire fence....   Then I wondered what might be inside the garage, so I had a peek in the window...  Who's going to get them all correct? |

I've only ever found a few pictures of the place. I don't think there's a lot left now but it used to be full of real early stuff. From what I can make out the house is full of parts. Would love to poke round although I don't think he'll ever sell anything with the prices he charges.  This house is now for sale if you have a spare million! www.primelocation.com/uk-property-for-sale/details/id/WNEX8930669/ |
