    Ever wanted to own one of the best HQ's in the world?

    I just saw this for sale on Ebay. Might not be everyone's cup of tea but what a great car.

    Currently $11600 in Wyong NSW.

    Nice car. I wouldn't be able to buy it unless I could be assured that the price was close to what the old guy got for it though. They're always tainted for me once I know someone's made a quick (lot of ) buck off it. I can see the buyer talking to original owner " I've been looking for one of these for ages, mum had one and I swore I'd find one and never sell it and my son could have it when he grows up" , and the old guy thinks that's awesome that his beloved car will be loved as much as he loved it and sells it for a real bargain price.

    Or maybe I'm just too cynical.

    That is a top car.!!
    I've always wondered what 'garaged all its life' means. I think it means garaged all its life unless its not garaged.
    And what about 'one lady owner' could have been three 18 yr old boys flogging it but just one lady owner.

    Saw that last night, not a bad example. I just can't bring myself to sell what I have to fund it.

    Wow, what a beautiful original HQ.... A shame to lose the original Qld rego plates if it gets registered in another state.
