£8250.... 7700 km..... IF its genuine and you want the best example you can find, it may just be worth it :bigeek:
Only original the once, no matter how much you spend on a resto, it's never original again.

Remember, the market has gone a bit mad as well.

There's a "restored" 59x tt600 on ebay for £6000, does look very nice though.
A 1vj at a £3000 bid with 50 k on it and about as original as a Frankie Howard joke....

Out of interest what were they new?

And if you look closely he has another blue 3AJ just to the right of picture. :sherlock:

I wouldn't doubt the mileage as he`s on the island (Tasmania) but if that was the mainland i would want a good look, but having said that it looks all original to me.

I`d say that has to be the most honest low milage 3AJ in Australia. :tenere:

Really nice. Love to add it to the garage. But even with low mileage, 30 year old rubber is 30 year old rubber. It will need some resto soon either way. Especially carbs with all the new eco fuel we’ll be using.
Again though, very nice. Could always keep it in the living room.
