Gav this car was imported from NZ back in 2002 and I was given it as a birthday gift in 2004 by my lady. It was built by Brain Bradshaw of Impwerks in Christchurch for his wife. Without boring everyone it has a new Sunbeam 930cc engine in it and a custom reproduction interior in leather.

It was featured Australian Classic Car in December 2007.

I actuarially pulled the car out from storage today and might give it a bit of love over the next few weeks...

So it's got the big block.

What it lacks in power it more than makes up on character, have been lucky enough to do a little work on this. And hopefully some more with a new lease on life.

Car looks cool either way

Correct. 13x7 rear and 13x6 front.

I need to put a bit narrower rubber than the 185/60/13 on next time I purchase.

Ask and you will receive. I pulled it out, washed it and took some family photos yesterday. I think rego is on the cards for summer. MK1 engine might be going on hold!
