1960 Chevrolet Corvette C1 (RHD) Chassis no. 00867S105210 Engine no. F1210CU Back in 1953, Chevrolet`s launch of a two-seater sports car was a major departure for a brand hitherto associated almost exclusively with sensible family transport. Extending from the 1952 EX-122 show car, the Corvette utilised existing GM running gear and a shortened chassis frame, around which was covered bold Harley Earl-styled glassfibre coachwork. A novelty at the time, glass-fibre construction kept costs at a minimum consistent with low-volume production. Although not a part of the original Corvette project, Chief Engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov’s passion for auto racing was largely responsible for unlocking the car’s potential and development into a serious performer. As director of high-performance vehicle design in 1956 he earned the nickname “Father of the Corvette”, ensuring the car’s survival and enabling it to become the world’s best-selling and longest-lived sports car. The Corvette in its second (1956-onwards) incarnation evolved slowly, being face-lifted and improved annually with more and more options becoming part of the car’s standard inventory in the process; in 1960 a stock Corvette came with painted steel valve covers, increased front sway bar diameter and new lightweight aluminium cylinder heads saving 53 pounds. The big news for ’60 was the unmatched offering of fuel injection engines in 275-hp and 315-hp versions, the latter delivering well over one horse power per cubic inch of displacement, alone among all production engines. Features to appear in the 1960 model included tail lamps moulded into the rear fenders and heavy grill teeth. Other new features included aluminium radiators (only with 270-hp and 290-hp engines) and for the first time, all fuel-injection engines required manual transmissions. Very minor changes to the interior included red and blue bars on the dash logo, and vertical stitching on the seats. The 1960s Cascade Green was metallic, unique to the year and the rarest colour at 140 made. Rare options included RPO 579 250 hp engine (100), RPO 687 heavy-duty brakes and suspension (119), 15 by 5.5 in (38 by 14 cm) wheels (246), power convertible top (512), and power windows (544). This car is finished in Snowcrest white and Inca Silver with contrasting red vinyl interior with hard and softtop. Fitted with a 283 cubic inch 270 hp V8 engine (duel 4 barrel carburettors) with a 4 speed manual transmission. It was produced by the St Louis Missouri plant, this car being number 867 of 1,641. The odometer reading approximately 17,800 miles. The current owner oversaw an extensive restoration in 1997 with new paint and mechanical overhaul, including conversion to right hand drive (RHD) by Corvette Action Conversion Centre, Sydney. Accompanied with the sale a folder containing a quantity of photos taken throughout the restoration process, parts receipts, copy of window sticker, second flight award and engineers certificate for registration in New South Wales in 1997. The car has been actively used and exhibited at Corvette club events in NSW and QLD including the National Corvette Restorers Society (NCRS). It received a Second Flight Award at the ‘Australia Comes Alive in 2005’ NCRS meet on 4th, 5th and 6th March judged by Murray Forman. This vehicle is currently registered in Queensland (60Pet) the club plates illustrated are not transferable and the vehicle will be sold unregistered.

1959 Chevrolet Corvette C1 (LHD) Chassis no. J59S101584 Engine no. F1111CQ When Chevrolet introduced the Corvette in 1953, even though it had that ‘dream car’ glamour, it was lacking in performance – the Blue Flame Six inline engine matched to a powerglide automatic was not exactly sports car material. The introduction of V-8 power and three-speed manual in 1955 improved things considerably and helped give the Corvette a stay of execution. With a redesign and fuel injection introduced over the next two years, the Corvette gave America its own sports car contender. A considerable facelift in 1958 made a flashier and more competitive Corvette. Growing nine inches in length with a pair of twin headlights, it had exposed four-headlight treatments and prominent grills, but the faux-louvered hood and chrome trunk spears made this model year unique. The dashboard was redesigned to put all the instruments, including an 8000 rpm tachometer, directly in front of the driver. In addition for the first time, seat belts were factory-installed instead of dealer-installed as on previous models. The 1959 interiors saw repositioning of armrests and redesigned seats; outside, the removal of hood louvres and chrome trunk lid spears made for a cleaner look and overall made the Corvette a better driver’s car. The tachometer, seat belts, outside rear view mirrors, electric clock and dual exhaust were now standard equipment, with sun visors and black interiors optional. Seat pleats on the 1959 were designed to run horizontally, opposed to the 1958 and 1960 models which had vertical pleats. Significant performance upgrades for 1959 were the RPO 686 sintered-metallic brake linings, which smoothed out braking performance and required less warming up to give peak performance. A positive reverse lockout shifter with "T" handle was standard with 4-speed manual transmission. This was the only year a turquoise convertible top colour could be ordered. Rare options included RPO 684 heavy-duty brakes and suspension (142), metallic brakes (333), 15 by 5.5 in (38 by 14 cm) wheels (214), power windows (547), and power convertible top (661). Five 283s were available in 1959, starting with 4 bbl. carburettor and 230 horsepower. Options from multiple carburetion, fuel injection, and/or solid lifters delivered up to 290 horsepower. The performance of the 1959 model was indeed far superior to the previous models of the Corvette. Road & Track magazine tested the 290-hp fuel injected motor with 4.11 gears and achieved 0-60 in 6.8 second and 14.9 seconds at 96mph in the quarter mile – performance rarely seen in Detroit`s sedans until later years. This stylish C1 left hand drive (LHD) example was built in November, 1958 at the St Louis Missouri Chevrolet plant. Finished in Frost blue paint with blue vinyl interior this car boasts the optional extra of both hardtop and folding white softtop. Fitted with a 283 cubic inch 230 hp V8 engine (4 barrel carburettor), with a 4 speed manual transmission and displays the odometer reading of approximately 85,700 miles. This particular vehicle was purchased new by Phillip Olchovy Jr in 1959 and would stay with its first owner in Cleveland Ohio for 35 years. In 1994 it was sold to Michigan, via Pro Team Corvette Sales Ohio, from where the current owner purchased it in August 2008. Accompanied with the sale are the original certificate of title, issued by the state of Ohio (10.28.59) and transfer and important paperwork. The car has been restored to a high quality, and has been actively used and exhibited at Corvette club events in NSW and QLD including the National Corvette Restorers Society (NCRS). Amongst its awards, a Second Flight Award at the ‘Mark of Excellence Australia’ NCRS meet on March 5th & 6th, 2011. A rare opportunity to acquire a fine example of the first of the iconic and stylish twin headlights C1 models. This vehicle is currently registered in Queensland (New 59) the club plates illustrated are not transferable and vehicle will be sold unregistered.

1966 Chevrolet Corvette C2 Stingray convertible (RHD) Vin no. 194676S111920 Engine no. T01121P, 6111920 Registration no. D RAT To say that the Sting Ray’s arrival for 1963 caused a sensation would be a major understatement in terms of its influence on the North American sports car market. Launched as the second generation of “America’s Sports Car”, for the first time in history the Corvette was a sell-out success. As much as anything, it was the appearance of Sting Ray that set it apart, the stunning lines which can be credited to GM Styling designer Larry Shinoda. Futuristic, sexy and distinguished from anything else on the road, the Sting Ray`s fibreglass skin sported a totally new ladder-type chassis, the adoption of which dramatically improved roadholding and ride. Wind tunnel testing helped refine the final shape, as did practical matters like interior space, windshield curvatures, and tooling limitations. Purposeful exterior styling including peaked fenders, a long nose, and a short, bobbed tail combined with independent suspension and improved acceleration offered drivers newfound handling prowess. Inspired by the Q-Corvette and Mitchell’s racing Stingray, the 1963 model’s dexterous handling offered drivers both sports car appeal and functional use in keeping with the MG-beater it once intended to be. All 1963 cars had 327cid engines, making 250 hp (186 kW) standard, with optional variants of 300 hp (224 kW), 340 hp (254 kW) and 360 hp (268 kW). The most powerful engine was the Rochester fuel injected 327cid V8, which made 360 hp (272 kW). As the range of V8’s available increased, and more and more powerful performance options and go-fast accessories became available, the Corvette began to take on muscle car qualities. By 1966, the basic 327-cid V8 blew through a Holley four-barrel carburettor and put out 300 bhp (even though the new big-block 427 took much of the spotlight). Mild aesthetic changes included an egg-crate grille insert to replace the previous horizontal bars, and the "Corvette Sting Ray" emblem added to the bonnet. The Sting Ray coupe was always outsold by the open version, with just 9,958 built in 1966 compared to 17,762 convertibles. Despite technological advancements in the later generations of Corvettes, none has quite managed to capture the style, presence and driving pleasure of the original 1963-67 Sting Rays. This 1966 Stingray is finished in a striking Nassau blue and blue vinyl interior. With matching hardtop and white softop, this right hand drive (RHD) vehicle is fully optioned and boasts such extras as side mounted exhaust, aluminium knock off wheels and power steering to name a few. This ‘Special High Performance’ model, identified by ‘1P’ within the engine number, is a rare matched number car. Fitted with a monster 7 litre, 427 cubic inch 425 hp big block Turbo-Jet V8 (4 barrel carburettor) engine, it puts out a massive 560 bhp (412kW). This grunt is delivered via a close ratio 4 speed manual M21 gearbox and a 3.36 positraction differential. This vehicle was sold new in 1966 through Capitol Motors Inc. in Hartford Connecticut for $6,122.25. It is believed to have been imported into Australia in 1977 by Bob Mummerie Imports, and owned since then by Phillip Byrne and Tom Carson (both from Canberra) before the current owner purchased it in 1995 from Peter Mellor in Brisbane. Included in the sale is an original sales brochure and original radio manual with a copy of the window sticker. Affectionately known as ‘The Rat’ this 1966 Stingray was the personal favourite Corvette of the vendor’s stable. This car was regularly displayed at car shows and enjoyed as a “Comfy Drive!” Seldom does an American big block muscle car of this calibre appear on the market in Australia. Odometer reading approximately 78,900 miles. Sold registered in Queensland, with no RWC, with the number plate ‘DRAT’, being not transferable if sold interstate (Exp. 1/10/14).

1969 Corvette C3 Stingray (RHD) Vin no. 194379S713054 Engine no. T0104LM 19S713054 It is no wonder that when Chevrolet recently unveiled the 2014 Corvette, they chose to bring back the Sting Ray name. The Corvette Sting Ray of the 1960s had something of a dual personality. Not only was it easy to drive fast and practical for everyday use, its skilful handling and manoeuverability combined with a desirable appearance proved irresistible to enthusiasts. When the C3 Corvette made its debut for the 1968 model year, it was the wildest automobile to be seen on the streets since the Lamborghini Muira. With one of the longest build cycles for an American car (September 1968 – December 1969), both the Corvette body and interior were completely redesigned. As before, the Corvette was sold in either coupe or convertible styles, the latter featuring a targa-type roof design with a removable rear window. Inspiration was drawn from the Mako Shark II and “sugar scoop” roof contours from the Duntov group designs, resulting in a look both beautiful and aggressive in nature. The start of the ‘Stingray’ era saw the name appearing as one word on the front fenders above four vertical fender vents. The enduring new body’s concealed highlights were operated by a new vacuum system (rather than electrically as on the previous generation), and the reversing lights were integrated into the tail lights. The 1969 Corvette came with a 350-cid V8 developing 300 hp at 4800 rpm and a choice of either the Turbo-Hydra-Matic or four-speed manual gearbox. Included in the standard equipment list were vinyl upholstery, centre console and full instrumentation including tacho and an electric clock, front and rear disc brakes, a dual exhaust and tinted glass. Optional engines included the 350 hp L46 or the various 427-cid big-blocks in different levels of tune, along with other heavy-duty manual transmissions to cope with the extra grunt. Chevrolet built 22,129 of the targa-topped Corvettes in 1969 and these pre-emissions cars still managed to turn some very respectable numbers. This 1969 Stingray coupe is finished in striking Daytona Yellow with ZL-1 livery (black strips), T-Top roof with wild side exhaust pipes. Fitted with a matched number 427 cubic inch 390 hp V8 engine and 4 speed manual transmission. We are advised that Christine Brown of Utah originally purchased the car new in 1969. It changed hands once before Geoff Paradise purchased it and imported it into Australia. The vendor purchased the car from Michael Heinich of Silverdale NSW in 2005. Odometer currently reading 23 miles (faulty). This vehicle is currently registered in Queensland (S15479), the club plates illustrated are not transferable and vehicle will be sold unregistered.

1967 Ford Mustang Fastback (LHD) Vin no. 7R02S145651 Engine no. C6ME A rousing success on street and track, the first generation Ford Mustang during 1964 – 1973 created a new class of pony car. Lee Iacocca, Vice President and General Manager of Ford Division achieved his vision of a car that would carry four people, have bucket seats, a floor mounted shifter, measure no longer than 180 inches, weigh less than 2500 pounds, and sell for less than $2500. With its long hood and short deck it proved wildly popular and remains one of Ford’s classic and most well-known vehicles. To decrease development costs, the Mustang utilised already existing components from the Falcon and Fairlane models, including the chassis, suspension and drivetrain. The body sported a shorter wheelbase, wider track, lower seating position and lower overall height. An industry first “torque box” structurally stiffened the Mustang’s construction and helped contribute to better handling. The ‘67 Mustang had a fresh look and a load of horsepower. For the first time since its launch, it faced serious competition and defended itself by creating a meaner look with more muscle. The grille opening was made larger and the rear tail light concaved; the fastback now reached all the way to the rear of the trunk. Overall size, interior and cargo space were increased, as well as a new dash and integral air conditioning. New options included the tilt-away steering wheel and fold-down rear seat on the fastback model. Standard wheel covers were a 10 ½ inch hubcap or a 21-spoke wheel cover. A new engine was added to the line-up for ‘67, the first Mustang big block, the 390ci. With redesigned front suspension and a dual hydraulic system, the car had a smoother overall ride. Rated at 320hp, the 390 used a single 600cfm Holley four-barrel carburettor with cast iron intake and manifolds. This engine, and a 4-speed manual transmission recorded quarter mile times of approximately 13 seconds and trap speeds of over 105 mph (169 km/h). A total of 28, 800 Mustangs with the 390 engine were produced. This 1967 Fastback 2+2 was produced on December 1st, 1966 in the San Jose plant. Fitted with a 390 cubic inch 320 hp 4 valve V8 engine with a 4 speed manual transmission. This engine was built by Californian Image Pty Ltd in Narangba QLD. The car is finished in Raven Black with GT livery (rocker panel red stripe and wheels) and brand new red vinyl interior. This left hand drive (LHD) vehicle is a stunning example and has not turned a wheel since its high level restoration by the current owner. This vehicle is very near to completion, with some mechanical adjustments and small cosmetic items needed. Accompanied with the vehicle a ‘Standard Report’ from Ford, import approval and a box of new extra parts. Odometer currently reading approximately 93,300 miles. Vehicle is sold unregistered.

1974 Chevrolet Corvette C3 Stingray (RHD) Vin no. 1Z67T4S401024 Engine no. 14S401024 V0817CLD When Chevrolet unveiled the C7 early last year at the Detroit Show, people went crazy. A marque deeply bound by its heritage, it comes as a settled law what Corvette stands for: front-engine, V8-powered, rear drive, fastback roofline; and an alluring axle-to-dash length. 1973 started Corvette’s transformation from muscle to touring sports car. Radial tires became standard and this was the only year that combined the new soft body-colour front with chrome rear bumpers. Larry Shinoda was quoted expressing that the 1973 model was one of his favourites because its front and rear styling was the closest to what designers had originally hoped for in this series. Other major changes for 1973 were a new domed hood, body colour urethane plastic front bumper and a fixed rear window which created more boot space. The ‘73 also introduced a new coolant recovery system, new chassis mounts, and steel-guard beam doors. The 1974 Stingray saw the first year of the revised spoiler-less, body-coloured rear end incorporating the now mandatory energy-absorbing bumper. Being both stronger and more attractive, the new rear design was embraced by the vast majority of enthusiasts. Factory shoulder belts were introduced in the coupes, and resonators were added to the dual exhaust system to further reduce noise internally. Prior to resigning in 1974, President Richard Nixon imposed a 55 miles per hour speed limit on the nation’s highways. Considered a safety measure, it too had an economic impact limiting the supply of gasoline in order to save energy. Nevertheless, a 1974 Stingray equipped with the L48 195 hp (145 kW) small-block was capable of 0-60 in 6.8 seconds; comparable to the 6.5 second time of the 1968 small-block rated at 300 hp (224 kW); proof the 1972-74 Corvette engines had ample power regardless of reduced horsepower and net (bhp) ratings. The L-82 engine remained at 250 hp (186 kW) and the 454 cu in (7.4 L) LS4 dropped slightly to 270 hp (201 kW). Restyled and improved annually, the Corvette in this form lasted well into the 1980s. By this time the Stingray name had been replaced by in 1984 by the sixth generation of America’s classic sports car. Fletch’s Corvette passion began in the early 1980’s when he was working at his camera shop along Sydney’s Pitt St “I looked out the window and saw this car parked at the front door, “ he said. “It was a C3 Series Corvette and I fell for its magical shape and how it looked like a perfect muscle car. I eventually bought a 1974 example and it took off from there.” This 1974 Stringray, of Californian origin, was purchased in 1992 from Victoria. Being a right hand drive (RHD) automatic example, converted by Scott Girard, with hard/soft top is a matching number car fitted with a L82 350 cubic inch V8 engine. This vehicle has had an extensive overhaul to the motor, transmission, drive train, brakes, steering, suspension and body paint, since acquisition. Included with the sale, the original purchase invoice from Harry Mann Chevrolet Los Angeles, original owners manual and sales brochure, engineering certificate from 1992 and other related documentation.

1991 Chevrolet Corvette C4 ZR1 (RHD) Vin no. 1G1YZ23JXM5801920 Engine no. 10ZTKX1050300010 Registration no. BZ89AZ The Corvette’s C4 model years 1984 through 1996 established a loyal following as one of the world’s most desirable sports cars. The convertible was back, and with higher performing engines exemplified by the 375 hp (280 kW) LT5 found in the ZR-1, enthusiasts could not get enough of the heavy brute force, dizzying speed and superior race-car handling. Known for its evolved, sleek and modern look, the C4 is one of the most powerful versions of the Corvette ever sold in America. This ‘wild beast’ was built with one clear purpose – speed – in March 1990, the ZR-1 set a new record for the highest 24 hour-5,000 mile land-speed by going over 175 mph (282 km/h). The Corvette/Lotus collaboration resulted in what GM dubbed the LT5, an all-aluminium-block V-8 with the same displacement, 5.7 litres or 350 cu. in., and the same bore centres (4.4 in.) as the normal Corvette`s L98 pushrod engine. Lotus also designed a unique air management system for the engine to provide a wider power band by shutting off 8 of the 16 intake runners and fuel injectors when the engine was at part-throttle, while still giving the ZR-1 375 hp (280 kW) when at wide open throttle. In addition to the engine, Lotus helped GM design the ZR-1’s upgraded braking and steering systems, ensuring the vehicle was more than just a modern day muscle car with a big engine and no real capacity on the track. The infamous “King of the Hill” was distinguishable from other Corvette coupes by its wider tail section, 11" wide rear wheels and its new convex rear fascia with four square shaped taillights and a CHMSL (centre high mounted stop lamp) attached to the top of the hatch glass instead of between the taillights. Mercury Marine of Stillwater, Oklahoma, were contracted to assemble the ZR-1 engines, and a range of other upgrades were offered including better brakes and retuned adjustable active ride control modes. In 1991, the ZR-1 and base model received updates to body work, interior, and wheels. The rear convex fascia that set the 1990 ZR-1 apart from the base model found its way to all models, making the high-priced ZR-1 even less distinguishable on the road. This right hand drive (RHD) vehicle was imported into Australia in 1995 being converted to RHD and complied by Corvette Clinic Victoria the same year. This ZR1 is painted bright red, matching targa roof with black upholstery. Fitted with a 5.7 litre 375 hp all alloy 4 cam, 32 valve engine and 6 speed ZF manual transmission. The car has been actively exhibited at Corvette club events in NSW and QLD including the National Corvette Restorers Society (NCRS). Amongst its awards, it received a Top Flight Award at the ‘Corvettes in Heaven’ NCRS meet on April 3rd,4th,5th 2007 judged by Murray Forman. Accompanying the sale, a cloth covered presentation ZR1 box containing brochures and video, copy of the import approval and Top Flight Award. Odometer reading approximately 20,000 miles. Sold registered in New South Wales (BZ89AZ) with no RWC (Exp. Oct 2015).

1998 Chevrolet Corvette C5 (RHD) Vin no. 1G1YY22G6W5120021 Engine no 1W5120021 Registration no. 098 RSS Chevy’s Corvette hit a bull’s-eye right from the start. What might have seemed a challenge to broaden the C5’s appeal resulted in an all-new convertible version for 1998. Sporting the first external trunk lid in 36 years with an open-air design, the fifth-generation Corvette remains a showcase of power, image and value. The design team implemented a hydro formed box frame and revived the convertible’s “waterfall” body panel that flowed down from the tonneau, extending between the seats as it did on the 1953 to ’62 models. An electric defroster on the rear window was standard, but the top still had to be raised or lowered manually. This was made with double lining, and lighter than the C4’s; it could be raised or lowered in about 20 seconds. Previously unsightly tonneau anchor holes and roof locator pins on previous Corvettes were removed; the ragtop was redesigned to stay in place with the tension of its raised framework. A number of other incremental improvements were made across the board for 1998 including noise-reducing features such as a modified accessory drive tensioner and the removal of an alternator brace that was responsible for making a high-rev “whine”. Improved window seals and a quieter electric fuel pump later in the production run also made for a less noisy ride. Capable of matching or besting the 0–60 mph acceleration times of some of the world`s premier sports cars, the C5 also achieves comparatively high EPA ratings of 18/25 mpg (city/highway) with the automatic transmission and 19/28 with the manual transmission. Additionally the caster angle for the car’s power steering was increased for better tracking, and the optional Selective Ride Control Suspension now offered better wheel control. The transmission cooler was now made of stainless steel instead of a copper-nickel alloy. The first C5’s full model year saw sales soar to 31,084 units – the highest production total in 12 years – with the new convertible accounting for approximately 38% of the volume. This striking Nassau Blue right hand drive (RHD) C5 was purchased locally by the current owner in 2011. Featuring black leather seats and vinyl upholstery, soft and matching hardtop and 4 speed automatic transmission, this is a very accessible and enjoyable sports car. Fitted with a 5.7 litre, LS1 V8 engine, with the car being only 1,472 kg, it gives great power to weight ratio performance. Odometer reading of approximately 63,800 km. Sold registered in Queensland (098 RSS) with no RWC (Exp 18/1/15).

1969 Morris Mini panel van Vin no. YJBAV4R1798 Engine no. 10YTUH20609 A British icon of the 1960s, the Mini was voted the second most influential car of the 20th century (behind the Ford Model T). The appeal of the Morris Minor is so strong that for many people the mere mention of the name evokes nostalgic memories. A favourite with young and old, some 5.3 million Minis were manufactured and sold, making it the most popular British car ever produced. The first prototype appeared in the experimental workshops at Cowley in early 1943, in time for when the war was eventually won and a new small car was needed to replace the Series E Morris. Left in the talented young hands of Alec Issigonis, his sketch-pad drawings depicted a ‘new generation’ of small car, with a highly unitary body-shell and uniquely small wheels. Officially announced to the public in August 1959, the Mini was marketed under two main brand names, Austin and Morris, until 1969 when it became a marque in its own right. Manufactured at the Victoria Park / Zetland British Motor Corporation factory in Sydney, the Mini Mark had three major UK updates – the Mark II, the Clubman and the Mark III. Slow at the outset, Mark I sales strengthened across most of the model lines in the 1960s, and production totalled 1,190,000. The Mini’s distinctive design features two-doors and a space saving front-wheel drive layout, allowing 80% of the area of the car’s floor plan to be designated for passengers and luggage. The 1964 model saw several changes including the 997 cc engine being replaced by a shorter stroke 998 cc unit. The suspension was updated by another Moulton design, the hydrolastic system, giving it a softer ride however this resulted in increased weight and production costs. The commercial mini panel van was produced during the years 1960–1982 and rated at 1/4-ton load capacity. Extended on the longer Traveller chassis but without side windows, it proved extremely popular in 1960s Britain as a more economical option to the car, and classed as a commercial vehicle it carried no sales tax. The Mini Van was renamed the Mini 95 in 1978, the number representing the gross vehicle weight of 0.95 tons. This cute little Australian produced van was purchased by the current owner from the Mini Owners Club of Queensland. The club had used it for promotion and transportation of equipment for car club events. After purchase, the car was re-painted from a maroon red to a soft yellow. Fitted with an original type 1100cc engine and 4 speed manual transmission, retrofitted with disk brakes, 12”mag wheels, bucket sets and SAAS steering wheel, these updates certainly enhance the driving experience. Odometer reading approximately 40,000 miles. This vehicle is currently registered in Queensland (S17747), the club plates illustrated are not transferrable and vehicle will be sold unregistered.
