New Zealand Diesels?
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 |

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. Graeme

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? |

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

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 Last edited by Indiana_Jones; 5th September 2013 at 10:05.. |
