Testimonials

"Hi Jesmond, I don't know if I told you when we were corresponding that I am member of the South Canterbury Vintage Car Club. Last Saturday the club held one of its more important rallies of the year called the Mid Island Rally. I went in the Austin A55 and was one of about 68 vehicles that went on the run. It had a good showing of vehicles some old model Ts right through the years, the latest one being a 1964 mini. You name the brand of vehicle and it was there. Mine was the only Austin. We had good weather and I understand it was about 180 miles start to finish. It extended from Timaru through to Geraldine and then into a private forest. That was a bit challenging climbing up to the hilltops on roads only made for logging trucks. I was pleased to get back onto tarseal once we were on our way home. As usual I didn't get anywhere in the rally, thats not my luck. Prior to starting off from the Clubrooms they had a Concours display . About a dozen or perhaps eighteen vehicles went in it. I decided to put the A55 in the display. I don't know when the judging took place and we heard nothing until after the placegetters in the actual rally were announced. There was a table of Cups and Certificates being handed out . All went until only one big cup remained. I thought it won't be me because Ive never won one yet and next thing my name came up. I won the 2014 Concours Cup in my class which was (Post War Vintage) Every comment about the A55 on that day was good and she's going well. So there you have it Jesmond,I don't know if any other vehicles you've had have won Concours but now you know at least one has."

      Description

       

      In 1976, some things just got better - take this Volkswagen Super Beetle for example.

      These cars were built to take it. Its wheels are independently suspended. Comes with coil spring / shock absorbers up front - a clever piece of engineering, that gives you an amazingly smooth, comfortably quiet ride - even on rough terrain. In the back is a double jointed rare axle, that keeps the drive wheels flat on the road to give you more control over the car. Also comes with a long lasting engine made out of the same stuff Porsche uses to make its race car engines - lightweight magnesium alloy. So there you have it, she's a pretty tough car to shake loose.

      ABOUT THIS CAR

      • Chassis # 1162085028
      • Reliable and cheap as chips to run.
      • Single-ported 1600cc engine with 4 speed trans-axle gearbox.
      • Imported from California - first registered in NZ in 1988
      • Quirky car - the looks are what I love the most but the conversation this car creates is amazing!
      • Light steering, good handling - no dangerous under steer or over steer.
      • Very comfortable to drive and good German built quality.
      • Robust chassis and indestructible engine.
      • Very nice white interior
      • Lovely white hood cover in very good order.
