Bertone. Has a BMW motor. Is based off the Daihatsu Rocky like I have. Great vehicle.

Oh my... With it being what looks to be a proper auction this will be most interesting to see where it ends up. The fact that reserve has already been met surprises me, but should also draw a few more genuine bidders out of the woodwork. Subscribed.

Made the mistake of thinking the drive from Auckland to Napier would be better later on Good Friday, not Thursday. Seven hours later, finally arrived (normal drive time is five hours), even with using the live traffic info and not getting onto motorway until Bombay. Luckily I was in a decent car, with all the mod cons or it would have been much worse. The driver assist / radar cruise works really well in traffic jams, don’t have even touch the wheel below 20kmh. Tested this out quite a bit, including the 3km crawl into Tirau. When the queues finally died down there were a few opportunities to give it some beans and get past a few of the muppets that decide to get out and about at Easter. Not sure I’m looking forward to the journey back though...

Spent some zen time washing the car Good Friday. Wheels have been on for a good few weeks now, I lightly degreased then and ceramic coated them and gave a light hand polish before winter. also inspected some damage to a previous owners repair where an over zealous parking Manoeuvre resulted in a brush with a fence. Doh. The whole drivers side front corner has been repaired at some stage. With a fair bit of filler used by the looks. I’ll be on the hunt for a structurally excellent bumper in future as this one is also missing fastening points on the underside.

I think that's Kerry and Nathan. Old members.

It's like mine. But with more KMs. A year older. No wheels. And in worse condition. For double the price... Good buy.

@Gaz it is absolutely stunning

60k would be my guess

Spotted at Hutt Valley Car Club hillclimb at Silverstream today

Wow John, what a beautiful example that is! looks very clean indeed! Just love the Techno Violet.

I sold mine a few weeks back for $11K. Very similar to yours in terms of servicing, also mine was lemans, manual, etc but with 18" wheels and 128km. I'd say you're pretty much on the money as far as value goes but they're a bit of a niche car so you will need to be paitent.

Better pics of refreshed wheels. not an exact match to the original colour and a bit lighter but I like it.
