It got imported into the country in 1987 where it was on the road till 2009. It was owned by a farmer and his wife and his wife mainly used it for a period of time. It got used as a farm car and pulled trailers/farm equipment etc. It was quite the work horse. The owner is now in an old persons home and the car was sent to sit for a number of years, just outside the old farm. Was put up for sale for $1725 and was for sale for ages. It looked rough, and yes it is a bit rough but it loves life and has a heart of gold. I bought it 9months later after listed for sale and put a deposit on it the next day after viewing it. Overall I got it for $1250NZD. As it was used on a farm the underside is banged up, it has holes, rust, etc but all will be fixed. It's never going to be a showroom vehicle, in my ownership it's going to see a fair amount of use and it will be taken of road rally's and given a good life and will always be looked after.
