I am in Hobart but I would have no hesitation in driving it up to Launceston or Burnie.

Its a little dirty at the moment as it has been sitting around while I waited for the slave cylinder. I can upload something today if you don't mind camera phone pictures.

It uses no oil even on long trips and I have been running a 10W-40 synthetic as long as I have had it and oil pressure is fantastic (measured with an incredibly accurate digital gauge/sensor). So I have good reason to believe that the engine was either incredibly well cared for, rebuilt, or replaced at some point - no high kilometer V6 should run this well, no smoke no coughs and splutters, starts first time every time. The only thing I would do is replace the battery terminals as they are corroded and don't fit as perfectly as I like (occasionally I have to jump out of the car and adjust them so that the positive terminal had sufficient contact...).

I can't lie the body is average but mechanically I couldn't be happier.

If you are in Hobart it is now sitting for sale along Sandy Bay Road near that newish cafe around Mawhere Avenue.

Marked price is $2000 ono.
