The roads through the Flinders Ranges, and from Blinman to Arkaroola are perfectly manageable in an old Holden. From there you can go to Lyndhurst, north to Farina (stop at the bakery if it's open), then Marree, William Creek and Coober Pedy.
If you've got that far, then why not turn right, head up through Marla and Kulgera (take photo of car and give to the owners to put up in the "classics gallery") to Uluru and Kata-Tjuta. From there it's straight ahead to Leonora.
You know you want to.

We drove the short way to th eRed Centre Nats a few years back , albeit in a LandCruiser ute - I would be happy to take the red rattler through there as long as it wasn't wet but I wouldn't take the ute - it still has reasonable paint on it
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

No shortage of stone chips from 6000km so called highway on my last trip. I might have done twenty or thirty km of dirt road.

Stone chips are unavoidable if you drive your car - but 800+km of dirt roads in a car with no mudflaps will torture the paint

I did purchase a car bra and will get some use out of it next year I think have to try to reduce the chips in the 2 pack and paint on Frankenstein is a 3 part system and a bitch to try to patch/colour match for chips.

We have been busy sorting locations etc and checking out accommodation options as I'm aware the Vine INN is currently booked out.
Tis may change as the year goes on.
Richard and I checked out the Barossa Weintal Motel in Tanunda ( 5 km down the road from Nuri )
