Something Rare!

I just found this whilst strolling through Yahoo Japan.

It's an 280D (Diesel) GT C211 Sedan and you can have it complied in Australia for about AU$13500.00 + rego

Wouldn't it be nice!

And automatic too!

I wonder how it would go with a T3 strapped to the side of it?

And 25% mix of LPG.....

Better tell that to my 1971 Patrol I have in my shed then... Or the whole swag of early model rotaries or the 1967 Alfa 1300 GT Junior that I've previously owned

I agree with you that it's rare, but old non-turbo diesels are woeful to drive - it's like wearing your jocks over your pants, it's different but not necessarily better

holy crap, i never seen one of those still on the road!

Least we agree on some of it. I wasn't suggesting driving it would be fun, just interesting to own for nostalgic reasons.

You had an 1300 Juniour eh! I used to have 57 Giulietta Spider and my all time fav alfa is a 105 GTV. I think they would have won Bathurst if they had have kept their wheels on.

Your Patrol belongs in a museum lol

Me too...luckily

Interesting thought though to start a collection of "classics" that no one wanted

Would be a jewel in the crown of a collection of classic Morris Marinas , Austin Tasmans and 200B's

Go better with some C4 strapped to the side of it

My Junior was a 105, was awesome for getting girls - ironically the first time my girlfriend (now wife) drove it, the brakes failed! Maybe it knew something I didn't...

The Patrol is a genuine 58000miles with books! It had been sitting in a shed for the last 15 years, and the owner bought a new car and needed the garage space, and decided to sell it rather than let it go to waste out in the elements near the sea. Mechanically, it needed a radiator recore and the front seats retrimmed, and she's right to go. Blows no smoke at all - once we charged the battery it fired first go too. The plan is to restore it for the Bay to Birdwood Classic next year.

, was awesome for getting girls -

The best legopener I ever owned was an MkII MGB
