l want to sell this car......... .done 46,000 miles only , was bought new down here in Gore Southland  . l know the original owner and he bought it to tow his jet boat with . It has a long racing history , was used by one owner for the South Island production race car  series . Has raced at Queenstown by the owner before me where it suffered it's one ( as far as l know ) accident in the left rear quarter . The car was painted yellow when l first bought it and  l   competed in 2 Dunlop Targas and assorted classic racing round the south island with it  before l bothered to check the numbers and retired it from racing  and had it repainted it's original SMP  colour   .  Still has it's original front guards , jp block , correct head  , M21 box etc .  Does have a commodore crankshaft and  Carrillo type H beam rods . New Zealand new car so only has 2 tags ..........both have never been removed from the car held with original rivets .

 

 Any thoughts on what it's  value might be ?

Hi I was wondering if you have had any genuine interest in your car as yet or has it been sold? I may be interested depending on condition etc. Have you got a contact number I can ring you on. Thanks Rod.

Hi All,

 

I'm just weighing up some options i may buy an genuine xu1 in good restored condition matching numbers and stuff for an investment,   I'm just wondering i know its an open ended question but i see some one said the smp car in nz might be $60,000 is that a fair price as i carnet even find one advertised so I'm guessing one would be quite rare the ones advertised  on carsales in various colours are $60+ so I'm guessing condition has a lot to do with final price?

 

nzxu1 any chance of some pics of this car of yours?.

WA plates with 'A' on them says registered in Albany. Later on they also had AL. WA country plates have letters indicating where they're licensed.
