This is the late Harry Green's car - Harry passed away in December 2006. Chassis M27608 - originaly a saloon.

Now on TradeMe. I think being sold by his family.

This car is still available for 15K dollars NZ or about £6K. It 'finishes' its time on Trade Me on 10th March.
There are lots of other interesting cars on this web site. How much (approx.) to ship a car like the Minor to the UK from NZ?

I was talking to a chap a few days ago and he had spent a month in New Zealand recently with his car (a Bugatti - probably street racing in Dunedin) . He said it had cost about £1000 to ship the car out and another £1000 to ship it back. He said it was not so bad really since it saved hiring a car for a month - or perhaps that is what he told his wife.

Thanks Sam. Dependant upon the car and the selling price it could become a worthwhile exercise to re-import an 'Historic' or two!

Chris, are you trying to collect one of each model?! I'll bring my tools in July to start on the garage extension. :o
if it's got wheels or chips - it'll cost you dear

This car has been advertised for quite a while now, so it's asking price may be more negotiable. Bodywork is an aquired taste.There have been many cars shipped from NZ back to the UK, that price for shipping is in line with my understanding.
