Icetoo, it's called supply and demand. You actually seem pissed off that the cars you want are out of your price range, and that the vendors should set a realistic price. They can put whatever the f**k they want on THEIR car. If you don't have the coin to pay for it, get yourself a mgb. If you insurance company won't insure it for what u want, get a new insurance company. For fifty grand u might get yourself a drb or crown gforce with a 302 auto. Not happy with that, keep saving and stop whining.

Cheers

ICETOO, I had a look at the ex NSW plated you are talking about...was it the blue one? My inquiries with the RTA meant that although it had been previously registered in NSW, it would still have to go through the entire drama exactly the same as registering a interstate vehicle, hence I looked away.

Yep HSV, that would be it. this is the old shannon's link and report ...

Lot 19 - AC Cobra Replica Roadster - Classic Vehicle Auctions - Shannons

Apparently this car still has a valid NSW engineering cert that is good till mid year before the sunset clause for existing certificates on the old scheme expires.

BTW thanks your you informative and value adding opinion Tenrocca...be sure it has been filed accordingly. Are you interested in buying a car from me sometime...I will give you a really good deal ???

Funnily enough the insurer's I approached were Shannon's who quoted a higher premium (around 500 bucks) for even 50K agreed value. I have a full 70 percent no claim bonus, was going for limited usage, all drivers over forty, clean record, 3 other cars, nil bingles or infringements, etc all the good stuff.

Apparently, according to LSV, I need to have an actual year and model type before LSV can give me any accurate estimate.

Whack it in your folder titled "$hit I know nothing about" if u can find some room. Refer to it often-no extra charge for a second look. You'd have a whinge if there was.

Not everyone can afford royal sydney, so they play at Moore park. They tend to not to have a sookasaurus about it though in the royal sydney club house. (that was a metaphor, you can file that away too)
