Yeah this is the fella trigger andy visited think he is in is mid 70s
worked in Oz purchased 2 sports man chargers might have brought one back and then got the urge for another
sold one which had the right exterior but wrong interior
this is i guess the better proposition but he changed the paint
had it up on aussie ebay for lots of cash
must not have sold
its supposed to look like this (see below)
interior is rare and expensive to replace
strange red white paint and a silver spinstripe between the colours
odd roof treatement makes it look kinda soft top
rare car
this one has
770 E55 340 dress up package stripe across top of rear window
RT stripe to front and rear
blacked out RT style Tail and and VH style rear lights
as the sportsman package was a trim paint and decal package to get rid of VJ chargers before VK came out they are rare
there is even talk of the sportsman look putting off potential buyers and some of them being resparyed standard direct over the top of the red/white...
anyway
the reserve would be higher than 5K i can tell you that
Andy felt both cars he saw when he visited bert were good solid buys he just didn't have that kinda cash....
looks like a good car
and i think only in the country 10-15 years max and garaged
see also white knight special for other oddities think it was the run out VK model its rare as well
