    Ford had an assembly plant in Wellington at Seaview 1936 to 1988, most likely this car is from there - about 10km from where it was assembled.



    My second car, bought about 1988, was a 1974 Cortina 1600 Estate. Had bought my first house (it was fire-damaged and needed a lot of work) the Cortina had a hard life loaded with timber and towing trailers of building material. Reliable workhorse. Survived a couple of
    long (for NZ) holiday drives. From memory it was sold for NZ $1500, to a dodgy character who paid in cash - mostly $1, $2 and $5 notes.

    My father had a 1982 Cortina Ghia IV 2.0, tidy car that was until an accident, mine, I put it off a bank, rolled, into a tree and left suspended above a river. These things happen.

    Still tempted to get a TE at some point actually. Curious about what you could get out of the 4.1 ltr—apparently there’s also a South African variant that came with triple carbs from factory.

    Couldn't believe the prices of Ford Cortina Estates when I first visited Down under.
    £4k for a hundred quid banger.

    Some enterprising individuals were marketing them as backpacker travelling machines complete with mattress in the back.

    They were called Holden or something like that back then and had massive 4.0l engines.

    Flogging them out of a car park in Kings X , Sydney with glowing endorsements on Lonely Planet.

    The 4.1 engine is a lazy lump, in saying that I had one with a draw through turbo set-up and it had no issue with turning rear tyres to mush.

    They dont corner that well either, bit of a lead tipped arrow..... how ever all my modded corties I fitted 2 inch lowered V8 XB Falcon front springs which improved handling a lot (along with decent shocks obviouly).

    New Zealand - a mobile car museum. This is a Leyland Mini 1980 - looked online and seems quite collectable to the right buyer - saw prices between NZ $15-25k. ABout 10x my uninformed estimate.

    And then this one - less economical from the 50s. Could a vehicle be named Apache in these enlightened times?

    While on what car? I can tell you it is not a Cooper S as there is no gas cap on the RHS.

    I snapped this in a secluded barn, sadly neglected and forgotten about.
    Owned by an elderly farmer type.

    Could it be a e-type??

    They were assembled in Aus and there is also a few importers bringing them in from Brazil.

    A decent one will fetch 200K+......

    the fella has shitloads but you say 1 of 3 ?

    Cheers all!

    They're only £20K in mint condition apparently.

    Not the barn find I was hoping for.

    I reckon I'll give it a swerve.

    There's a few Kombis around but genuine T1 23 window / split-screens are rare.

    Brazilian / Aust ones don't count, it's like comparing a XY Falcon GTHO to a SA Fairmont GTHO.

    Considering they were assembled in Aus I find it very hard to believe they only made 3.

    Did SA have a GTHO ?

    They had a Fairmont based on XY Shakers but I don't know exactly what specs they were running. I do know they turn up on the market in Australia occasionally having found their way back home, and there's not much love for them when it comes to price compared to a genuine GTHO of which there's one for sale right now on carsales for 1.1 mill.

    1 of 3 samba s in Oz according to him. He could of been bullshitting me? But I don't think so. He has shitloads of volkswagons, not shit loads of samba s, I should of been more specific incase an asshole wants to dispute what was simply me coming across a rarely seen splitty in such good nick..next time I'll demand proof that it indeed only 1 of 3 . Twat.

    This is the same year, model and color as my last car in the US before I moved to Thailand. I don't think the badge in front is big enough to give the make away.
