It’s mostly original XL 1300 Auto but now with a 711 bottom half with the 1300 head, bit of a cam, Webber carb and manifold and exhaust. I am the third owner from new with the last owner owning it for 20 years. Still have the 1300 matching number Botton half Of the motor.

Awesome pick up mate, shows that they are still out there.

Sad to see it leaving ADL but hey its not far over the border!

I love the classic 70s colours, browns, greens etc.

Thanks Robbie,

I am amazed no one in Adelaide had bought it. It’s like Xmas eve now waiting till next Wednesday for it to get here. Having said that my search has taken years, so not too long now.

Car market for these type of cars is a bit strange. People dont need them so they are definitely a luxury item but often people dont want to pay the price premiums they are now reaching. I havent owned my car long (bit over 2 years now) and what i see listed for what i paid for is crazy.
