HJ Premier work

[HK1837]

I've worked on plenty of original cars, but this one is not only original, it is like a car less than 10 years old in most areas. It has the same kM as my CV8 which was bought new in 2/2003 and it is about the same in most areas, just a bit oilier in some spots. With some degreaser and elbow grease the tranny looks new. I've been rubbing thinners on the underside of the floor and the paint under the grime and newer paint looks great.

Slighlty off topic Byron but curious on your thoughts of the CV8 Monaro , I am thinking of a CV8-R in another 12 months the fact they where small build numbers appeals to me. I also like the CV8Z but still a little pricer. I think I prefer the Turbine Grey with the cream interrior
over the red ones , just wish the red ones didnt have the sunroof.

I'd buy a V2 CV8 like mine, and put the original wheels away, they are still pretty good value. I saw a Devil yellow manual one a while back with 18,000kM on it and it looked as new but had a HBD rear spolier so I walked away from it, was only $25,000. I didn't like the first CV8-R due to the ugly trim. I could have had one of the second type CV8-R's new really cheap (like $42k) when I bought mine but I wasn't all that fond of it. We didn't buy a VZ new when we got ours as the boot is useless. Ours is a great car, they drive like a go-kart and the dash is quite nice. Never uses oil and is pretty economical.
