so, brother in law Col tells me he has bought a hoist from a man on the other side of town, and we need to go get it...and first thing we see is the small shed that has a Rolls Royce in it, as well as an early Holden...we removed the hoist, while talking about the other cars...the Rolls are both for sale...and maybe....might let the old Holden go as well....
76 Rolls is $12,000...in case your interested, his name is Ron, and you can get him on 0427 287980.
the other Rolls is down on its luck a bit...and is $9,000...
property is sold...there is one huge home made shed down the back..probably 80 ft x 30 ft..would be very hard to pull down and remove, but this smaller 6m x 9m is also available for $1500...but you have to pull it down yourself..
but...Col kept coming back to the FX, and remembering the days back in the 60s when he had a few of these....and..hit the key...it starts up, clutch was a bit frozen...but then, off for a drive around the paddock..
old Grey looks to be in good nick..
survivor car...has the patina...
all the bits..
seems to be zero rust or damage anywhere
settled..a deal was done...could have driven it, but put it on the trailer, now home at Cols home..expect to see it at the next coffee morning on the 4th June!
