Garrison Grey and Snowcrest White EK 225 Hydramatic

Post by Errol62 »

I was lucky to make the aquaintence of the owner of this car today.ImageImageImageImage
Purchased recently from a Parkes collector, the Sydney bodied car is said to be the very first Hydramatic to roll off the line. Literally as new, low mileage, with clock and many other original accessories. The car is totally original unrestored down to 6.40x13” cross plys. The engine looks immaculate, with no oil leaks or fumes, and barely a tick from the rocker gear to indicate it is running.
I look forward to seeing this one out and about locally.

When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

I don’t know why he would cop shit on Facebook but then I don’t get Facebook at all really.
