Can'nt help but wonder if its maybe 'this guy' under a different guise etc, as he was once again chasing V8 auto E34's while he was also screwing up Mark's E34 535i auction a few weeks ago........... http://bimmersport.co.nz/topic/46305-1994-540is-special/?hl=540is

My theory of that's what the letter was on Sesame Street that day is obviously in debate................

I think you'll find its a bit of a pi$$-take hp wise - once upon a time I used to compete in same events as these guys, the truck they were using then wasn't short of hp - was a Vitara bodied prado chassis, running a Lexus auto........on 36 inch tyres..............was quite impressive...... Gotta agree Graham - those GM diesels were / are lazy............ and rather noisy, especially when cold....!!
-
AFAIK, not hidden out in wops - just urban, plus vans occasionally................. Generally I find the boys leave ya alone down there unless you're doing something really special...............medium speed heading south outa Chch tends to be around 115ish most of the time........
-
Not taking anything away from what it is, its condition & its raritity, but in terms of bang for buck, I'd personally far sooner have that 22k E39 M5 on trademe........
-
Landcruiser's hold their value like nothing else mate.............. (I think you'll find its a ad for Falsgrave 4WD Spares Chch........been up for ages for getting around auction fees probably.......) Edit - since looked at the pics, & yip, Falsgrave...........
-
And probably upped the value of main st houses in Lawrence when it died there...............

That's nice...................... Its even as quick as a 540...............
-
Yea, my people were rolling their eyes at the blue interior a bit too............
-
They have pole mounted revenue collectors............ Most locals know where they are though...........

aka the 'best' island, & its south of Cook Strait..............

Looks like 'was back' now............nice spotting Darren..........

Slightly worrying that you know this & still get to roam about without sedation, supervision, & one of those special jackets that does up at the back.............. -

Given the steerings on the wrong side, its got no roof, no towbar, nowhere to put the working dog or hay bales, & costs about the same as a new Cruiser ute, I reckon it might be sitting down there for a while ........ Probably ain't gonna like gravel roads much either at a wild guess............ -

Exactly..........specially down in Southland...............all sorts of seriously koool stuff just sitting in farmer's sheds, getting used occasionally........ Lotsa money, & some kooool stuff in Canterbury too........just not as much........ -
Turners Auctions, selling via Trademe auction........... Most Turners sites also sell some stuff via Trademe - Christchurch especially........ Edit - heres the unscratched version.........http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/aston-martin/auction-678684739.htm

Sounds to me like you've done all the right stuff the right way so far on it, so just hang in there & keep nudging away at it till it comes round to your way of thinking Dave..... Big 'thumbs-up' to the guys that've had a look at it!!! Awesome!! I hate it myself when jobs turn to custard, & ya end up wandering round muttering 'Ya b1tch' profusely!!! Sounds like a good plan you've got re tapping it out etc, so should work out fine.......& hey, alcohol helps......... Peace of mind down the track for ya - priceless...........

He's been very quiet lately ae........... Kooool car - intriguing that theres only 2 in NZ, & yet somehow this one ended up in Mosgiel of all places..........and its got it's roof off........ (Mosgiel typically has 3 weather patterns - been raining, gonna rain, & is raining.........) Edit. Maybe it doesn't actually come with a roof..............??!!! -
I wouldn't be counting on that motor / trans being 100% perfect after its had a tap like that into the front of it.......... However, the rear bumper & tail lights still look ok...........
-
Was just under 30k first time I seen it advertised............. Edit - Window tag reads $34995............like, I could buy a E39 M5, & easily keep it fuelled & tyres up to it for a year, for less than 35k...........
-
Awesome................ I think 'MY E30' from memory, is the rego of a white one on trade me at the mo............

I agree with Brent - 'rust free & ex -UK' are contradictions..........the only thing you'd probably get rust free outa the mother-land would be Tupperware......
