Another hello from Australia Jan 1, 2013 23:29:10 GMT

Hi All,

I would like to introduce myself to the forum. I am from South Australia (SA) and have a 1969 MkII manual Austin 1800. I have historic plates on it and we are members in the Antique Automobile Association here in SA (surely it is not old enough to be an antique ~ perhaps it might be me that is!).

I bought the car from a chap in another car club here in SA and the car is originally from Burnie in Tasmania, so it has been driven across the Tasman Sea at some stage - quite an achievement, even for an Austin.

I look forward to engaging with you all in the forums here.

Cheers
Steve

(PS Apologies to AussieTony but I was struggling for a forum name so I hope you don't mind!)

Thanks guys.

Not an "S" unfortunately - apart from the chrome!

Keef, there were a lot out here but they are becoming harder to find and upkeep. Even our local LOCA (Landcrab Owners Club - Australia) has recently folded so I am always on the look for new sources of information and help which I think this forum will well suit my needs.

Will get some more pics up soon when I move it out from the carport again.

Cheers.
Steve

Hi Steve,

Use whatever user name works for you, shame you are in SA but yell out if you need anything as we do have an excellent source of parts here in the West, namely through a Ken Lyle who have about 20 complete cars and many, many cars in bits he is also a wealth of information. I did ask him for a good front bumper he quoted $220.00 which is a bit steep but it all depends on what you want and intend to do with your car.

Tony
