Oh yeah, that's one very clean "early" brat (aka - a fugly apparently!):

You don't see them like this these days - even if it is in the US!

Tidy little beast, one one problem the steering wheel is on the wrong side!

Not really Wooster, it is over 25 years old so if it was imported you could drive it!

Opps, edited my comment as I missed the 't' on Not... With 'No' it read just a little bit sarcastically. It was not meant to be.

Really though, it is on the wrong side! It's just not right!

Someone had some "forward thinking" when they looked after this beast - I don't know of any like this in Oz, seems they were all used and abused until they rusted out or were upgraded (then they rusted out in a paddock).

Bennie there is that red one and a green one that show up at various Oz car shows. Some photos of the sprite green one are in the thread of the Brumby I purchased some months ago...

I do agree with you though, other than those two most are dead or severely rusted.

My issue with the US one of this thread is the non original stripes and the later model wheels with the clearly incorrect offset. But hey, that's just nit picking!

I'm not up with these models to know those "nit picks" of yours.

It's probably got the low number of miles due to someone being too embarrassed to drive it rather than someone putting it away as a future investment
