    Sleepy's 101

    Some of you will have seen it advertised.
    It's been for sale for quite a while now. A bit of haggling (with the missus) and I've bought it.





    It's a recently imported UK 101, 3.9 engine (with carbs) , lots of recent work. Widened rims with 38.5's . Yes perhaps not for the purisits, but reckon I can have a bit of fun with it

    I have got some vague plans....but I am a bit vague! We'll see what happens.

    Not sure I love the colour yet, but it's a new paint job so it'll do for a while.

    This is a sister ship of Cooee's yellow one....so I am told.

    Now, how to get it to Melbourne?

    Perhaps we could do a relay!

    Well done Paul - not quite a sister ship to Cooee's but was built under his guiding hand. He tells me that it has quite a bit of more go with the 3.9 over a 3.5.

    You may be interested in these earlier pics.

    Thanks for the shots Garry, I have seen a couple of those. Yes, I guess the relationship is the rebuilder not the heritage.

    Congratulations on the new 101! It looks excellent to me, I love it with those tyres, but I'm not a purist.
    Cheers

    Thanks Mick, I've fired off a request and see what they come up with. Have you used them before?

    Yep.
    They transported both my 101's, one of my Mercs, and my two ADF trailers.
