yes, i've been looking for some time for one to pop up. the only others i knew of are in vic. there were 4 types made i saw a non pop top at the ballarat swap years ago but thats it. i've had the sales brochures for a long time. now i have it i'm just trying to get some info from other owners.

will put some pics up soon (it's a piece of history) that's what i like about it

yea still raod worthy, not much has changed, i haven't had the money to do anything lately, all iv done is put wheels on it and hopefully get a front spoiler for it. il be loosin ma licence soon n dunno if i can apeal it so il have a lot of spare time n money to play wit, thinkin bout a paint job and deckin out the back and lower. got a few tings to fix first tho, i have a shockin shake at bout 65-70 k's that desperately needs attention, i think it could be a tie rod end, dunno
