Hi All,
Thought I would say hi and pop up some pics of my 145. Not in tip top condition but not bad for 300000 miles and having spent half its life in South Africa and half travelling around Australia.

One of the first 145's in Australia






GT wheel so my big knees don't make it hard to drive.
















Original licence plate surround from the dealer.


Mmm, early badge

Nice car, not so common model anymore.

Nice, not that rusty I guess!?
Welcome to this forum from me!
So when did it enter Australia and what's the story behind it?

No, very little rust, mostly from dodgy repairs rather than anything serious. No salt here!
Sold locally into Aus in 1968 in Canberra to the original owner who was then posted to South Africa for work in 1969. Spent around 10 years there before coming back to Canberra with its owner.
