G'day again, Guys

Thanks for the warm welcome. A couple guys asked questions about my truck. Here we go.

Standard Model.
82673 miles
I am the 2nd owner
240ci FE
4 speed manual box
zero rush.
spare set of wheels with the original tyres on it.

Just out of interest, I paid $AUS6,600 for this truck. Thats about $US5500. Breaks my heart to see the totally original/restored trucks you can get for that price in the USA. I got this truck cause it's straight as.

I have no interest in restoring it. Looks beautiful as it is I reckon. :thup:

Steve
