Looking good, no clearcoat peeling, still had a good shine.

Getting rare in the U.K. so I'm guessing very rare in OZ ?

im on a trip in New zealand atm and have seen a couple of 75s, saw an early
silver one in Greymouth.
The kiwis appear to have got some 2 litre versions here unlike Australia, all we got was 2.5 and the odd diesel.

Apart from mine, I've seen 3 in the last 6 months:

1) The one yesterday
2) A station wagon version about 2 months ago
3) One with a "FOR SALE" sticker on it parked in the blue mountains (west of Sydney)


So not completely absent from our roads, but yes, I would expect very rare.
