New Zealand Diesels?

Indiana_Jones · 27th June 2013, 03:49

I've never seen a diesel 75 for sale here in NZ? did any ever get sold here? have any been imported?

.....and if you have one, will you sell it? lol

Reebs · 27th June 2013, 07:27

The build records show at least 15 diesel 75s were exported to NZ, there could be more as the Cowley data I have is not complete. As for imports from other foreign countries such as Singapore, who can know

That is also something I often wondered about as well.
A diesel 75 is a model I would like to own myself.

So there was at least 15, something to go on, cheers Reebs

Agreed Rovering, a diesel one would be the best of both worlds!

UK members have no idea how lucky they are!

Been day dreaming a bit more about this idea aye.

I'm looking at diesel estates on ebay uk, and thinking it might be worth the cost of shipping it here if I were to keep it for a decent time.

Has anyone done this before? Kiwis or Aussies?

My aunt lives in NZ. I will ask her.

Yes there definitely are some. I followed one down the ChCh motorways a few months ago and exchanged waves.

Nice, all the nice cars are here in the South Island

I see you have a V8! didn't even know they existed in this country.

Are there any manual 75's in NZ? I'd even settle for that if not a diesel lol

Cdti currently for sale on trademe if anyone is interested.
Great car wish I still had mine

Rovering · 17th November 2013, 09:22

Yes, I have seen that too. Would love to have it, diesel and a tourer to boot!
What can I sell.......! Maybe my Mk1 800 Sterling..........
