BUMP! Give me an offer or tell someone...

Got one in the garage. But, the baby sucked the paint off it.

That's a great pic! I don't think I'll be modifying this baby. Iaquired it from the chap I am working for in Carterton with all the delicious cars in one of my other threads I started. He has given it to me as a token of thanks for all the work I have done over the last year or so. Yup, Viva, one owner since new. Absolutely immaculate. You should see his one owner MK3 cortina and MK2 escort Ghia. Nothing on his Hudon/terraplanes or His mercury, buicks, Caddilac, Chryslers, plymoths.....I could go on =D It's a Viva I was hoping it would be a 4/90, but, no....

They are quite an amusing little toy. Should be fun taking it around the countryside...

Something similar to that was done on Kiwibiker, buy a poster of a race bike and you go in the draw to buy the race bike for $1. As far as I am aware that was totally legit.

That's a heap of work. Here, I'll have a beer for you mate

1960 Morris Minor 1000. 949cc of raw Austin A series fury propelling a whole 775kg

Have just been gifted this by a very very nice person! Around 130k miles and in mint condition. I will be picking it up next thursday hopefully with a live rego magically installed to her.

I have a feeling I'm going to like this project

That is bleeding epic dude. Love it!

Boss had one as a work ute. Crap interior, poor build quality. Shocking brakes and the rotors decided to give up almost instantly. My brothers E36 stopped better. The boss' current AU 1 XR8 sedan rides, handles and stops better [butt ugly though]. Awesome motor, it's just a shame about the poorly built car. I want to love them, but, I can't

Ah yes I forgot that....

Could have been a special order head liner from factory or a replacement due to something odd, fire or sagging head lining? There are many explanations really that are a wee bit less extreme than a re-shell. Would be interesting to know though

I shall post up what it is like when I go have a look. I would rock that! The good thing about the one I posted is it is rather local to me, which helps.

I'm buying this if the Hyundai sells! Genuine 126km. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=270281311 Have asked the owner if I can come view. Anybody know of some finance I can get with the Nana car as security? And what to look for when I view [not much experience with e30's]

The mazda, ford and hilux are all great utes. Have done quite a few km's in an 07 Ranger double cab 2x4. Was a very nice vehicle to drive. Went good for what it was too.

A mate of mine had an e34 with the m50b20 in it. Was all shiney and black with options galore. A beatiful car and I would happily own it for daily driving, just no good passing people up hills or carrying 5 people to a party....quite a lack or torque. That is very impressive! I would assume for that kind of driving the 530i would be similar? That isn't too much more than the hyundai uses. If I travel to palmerston north I use around 8L/100km overall. That's flat 100km/h driving and 60kms of hills.

In my experience the m50b25 never really liked hills....or pulling in auto form. I borrowed an e36 from my brother and put around 10 thousand km on it. Great car, just lacked in torque for those spirited moments.

That is quite reasonable then. I must be too used to the country and economy of all my bikes....

Ouch! I don't think my e34's got near that much, mind you both were 525i's. I think I would even go for another 525i at this rate.

Thanks mate, will do that I'm working a deal on a Morrie It's a beast.....with 46hpCheers mate.

That really isn't too bad for a decent size car! That's around the same as my boss' XR8, which is ugly and slow.

I see, that all makes sense. What kind of open road economy are you getting from the 535i?

That is exceptional. I want!

Milkshake, boys and yard spring to my mind. What are people going to think when I'm in my superb condition 3 owner 56 Morrie Thou?
