Yep, no harm in just lookin' - couldnt agree more. Shame not everyone agrees with that.

Looking is a gateway drug... it makes you want to touch... and we all know where that ends up

From what I've seen - briefly - of Aussie prices you may want to take the 100 with

Looks very nice Paul. It's quite dangerous this looking thing, it often leads to more....

Looks like its sold already according to Paul's sig line Gaz... Fast work Paul

 

[Paul]

Oh yes, sold indeed

I have been looking at the aussie cruisers and prices can be good especially for ones with high miles. Some 105's are going for 15000 asd which is about in line with uk 100 prices but I fancy something different, some very nice 60 series around for very little money and I might even get a couple and ship back to uk

There are definately some very nice cruisers in Oz, you find yourself in a very enviable position, trying to decide which toys to buy. The Troopy is certainly very retro cool.

Some of the 105's I've seen for sale down under look to have led quite a hard life, some times with the mining companies. Some have had rust in the sills, doors and roof. Also I'd be tempted to go for one that's had a turbo conversion, as the 4.2 isn't exactly a ball of fire in N/A form, especially in a heavy body like a 105. I think in Europe we're very use to having turbos on our diesels, and going back to N/A might be quite a painful backward step.

Happy hunting, and hope we get to see pics of you purchases

New Zealand is better than Aussie!
