Title: Out & about, Rotorua , New Zealand
Post by: Rusty's Uncle on October 25, 2014, 05:33:07 AM
Been busy, busy here over the last two weeks but I always look out for interesting motors when I am here. Seen things like Ford Escort, Cortina and Granadas , Morris Marina etc in everyday use. Could not help noticing the rear end of a Mk 1 Cortina body shell outside an industrial unit. Stopped to take a pic and it seems that the only place to do full body shell dipping in NZ is located here. They also had a Mk1 Escort shell and a beast of a '69 Mustang shell that was being prepped for as a race car for one of the top kiwi drivers. Fiats are thin on the ground here but I have spotted two early Pandas in town.(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/10/24/c80d3b5a9234e173f0e2e0ade758a5f6.jpg)(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/10/24/54268ff7357d814c164d56f8a1386d44.jpg)(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/10/24/5d52ad6e8a13c875a8c85484d58ab78f.jpg)(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/10/24/3f8c31f08e5a75a7fb454772d7aa1aa3.jpg)(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/10/24/b78fc9223c24c75fbd83cedfcada8947.jpg)

Spotted loads of good old motors now having got around. Checked out a motor museum in Hamilton today.(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/10/29/aafe38a3da94715831e6b30bd60d95dd.jpg)(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/10/29/f612ff36cca4ad3ebb2b8cdc38d949f6.jpg)(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/10/29/1f0c97a51259f0e3d6410686a58e78e3.jpg)(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/10/29/f986c10f3d2d2312705a3481875f3cbe.jpg)

Has it been dumped there, or has it got an owner. If so, make them an offer and ship it over.   ;D

I think the shipping might be more than the parts are worth. There is a VW shop in town I came across.(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/10/31/27645058b7c7b18f60ef87c819db4315.jpg)(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/10/31/b539bbb2618c9c83f8075ed753b0b669.jpg)

Sad sight this week in town. A crash on a roundabout. One of the vehicles was an original Vauxhall HA pick up . I do not even remember seeing one in the UK.
