Huge project but doesn't look rotten or anything, shame (or perhaps fortunate?!?!?!) its several thousand miles from here Smile

I'd be really interested in that project, any ideas on how to get it to the UK?

I brought my utes out of Sydney, which is a long way from where the Morris is unfortunately.

I had a pal in NSW who bought them for me, and I settled up with him later - I wasn't over keen on sending $$$ to someone I didn't know at all, which is the only sticking point I can see with this Morris. That and you could do with having them both dated - if they are pre-1950 in build they get a lower rate of import duty into the UK. As these are British goods returning to the UK, you may also qualify for a lower rate again (not sure if on Duty or VAT, would need to check).

Are any of the Oz forum members in that area I wonder??
