 V8 sounds like your in the middle of a storm. The sound is amazing,, and then when he got it "tweaked" a little, well it only got better...

I find it highly unlikely they are built in Australia as they don't make anything there! Maybe they could be imported in bulk from point of manufacture?

EDIT: for a 20 foot, fully insured container from Aus to UK (port to port ONLY!) works out around the £3k mark and takes approx. 7 weeks! A guy on the Morris Minor forum shipped 2 early Minors back over to the UK.


why not drive it back yourself? many have done it, it is only 10,000 miles....though how much petrol would that be?  :-?

@ 5.50 GBP a gallon, 1,800 GBP plus hotel bills, 500 miles a day, 20 days.... ::)

why not just move to Australia  ;D

Sounded like money well spent. :y It will be awesome when the other half of the gearbox works. ;)

Not that it felt like it needed a gearbox at all, actually. ;D
