Problem is if I did buy one what I'd really love is an EH (my first car in 1972) or HR but a good one is way out of my price range. Also, given my medical condition I can only drive automatics now, so even though I know from experience a grey motor with hydramatic wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding it's my only real choice. One Christmas holidays down at Ocean Grove where my family always spent their holidays as I was growing up, a mate had his mum's EJ wagon automatic and with 4 of us in it it really struggled to get up the hill from the foreshore to city centre.
Bottom line is it's only because it's someone I know and trust who's selling it for a valid reason that I'm even contemplating it. I need something which needs absolutely no work.
