You lucky bugger, Keith!
I always wanted another 161 for my EK (in the future) they're a fantastic little motor and perfect for cruising.
All I have here is a chew-o-chew... ..more c.i's than I need!

Wish you where on this side of the continent..I'd do the swap in an instant!
I think the freight would be a killer from N.S.W to W.A and visa-versa!!
