Looks like that Magna has the 163 kW engine too.

Who remembers the ho-ha over the VY Commodore getting "magna taillights" back in the day?

Was a Mini ute ever sold? Not that I’ve seen one (recently?) - just wondering if I ever did.

yes they were built, but never sold here, a number have been created here using vans, the real ones had a roof gutter across the back of the cab, most van conversions didn't bother replicating the gutter, so that is a good tell tail of a conversion, of course some real ones have been imported over the years, but they are rare here

When I sold my 2010 G6ET last year I put top dollar on it. I knew that I needed the right buyer but I also knew that I could almost guarantee there wasn’t another in the country for sale that was as clean with zero modifications. It had 60,000km from memory. The first person that looked at it bought it for $36500. I think I had it up for three weeks or so but man I had some ridiculous low balls and crazy swap offers.
Funny you should mention that. I loved the pics you took this much -






Cheers,

One Man

Not just a "Safari wagon". It looks like a V8 model Safari, very rare even in the 1960s.

Got my wheels reconditioned at Wheel Worx at Richmond. In the show room the owner Joe, has his pretty mint 1969 ZA Fairlane sporting a 460 cuber, FMX and 9 inch. Asked him to tell me about it. Tells me he has owned it for a long time (20+ years i think he said) and got the running gear out of an XB GT, as the 'fairy' was a roller when he purchased it.
Enjoy..





















Cheers,

One Man
