Yeah isn't it always the way mate, at the time for some reason or another you let something like that go then regret it later. Even me I could have at the time possibly bought an XC coupe instead of a sedan, silly me back then thought it's more practical to buy a sedan as a people mover. I had enough money back then to buy a 2 door coupe. There was even an original clean XC Cobra for sale at one stage for around $9000 back then. It was a bit pricey and it would have probably used up all my money then but look at how collectable and how much they are worth now? I would have loved to owned one of them. I remember someone had one down the road from my school in the 80's and thought wow that looks and sounds like a race car on the road! I remember waiting for it at the kerb so I could here it rumble past me and go into the driveway where the guy lived.
The picture I have added here was available in the local trading post here in Melbourne I think possibly around 2002 or 2003 maybe? Anyway this is true my mate showed me the ad from the trading post and was saying that I should buy it. I thought well it's not much but it did need a full restoration. I also didn't really have the space to store it until maybe one day I had the time and also some more funds to start restoring it. I seriously could have grabbed that car. Even my mate said because I was into XC's I should get it as it's a coupe. Oh well it's another one that slipped away and maybe I should have grabbed it when I had the chance.
Cheers!
Zip a dee doo dah, zip a dee ay, another trash picked Victa, hip hip Hooray!
