Yep. A great pity. If I had a considerable surplus of the local currency I'd seriously look at getting that out of the country. NZ$10k is probably a good price considering the work that went in to the restoration, but it'd be closer to 20 by the time I got it home.

Hi all . Yes its my MF131.Never thought i would sell it after all the hard work , money, and beers ( SID131) and support and inspiration iv'e had from members from this sight. Had a ball turning it from a black to ORANGE beauty.Been driving road and track for the last few years. Still turn heads young and old.We lost our son 18 months ago .Mind set is not what it was .MF131 has been sitting in the garage for the last year,as you know they need to be driven. Need a change , Never know what is round the corner,Best this goes to a good home. Still know where there is 131R in a garage ready for Resto. .As in the movie I'LL Be back. Has been a great few years with all you blokes.Not going anywhere . Will be in touch. Cheers Gary

I am real sad to hear your news I have kids too so I dread to think how you feel.
I hope you are dealing with things ok.
I wish you all the best out there and with some time passed a fresh new 131 restoration in time might be good for you.
Good luck with the sale and make sure you sell her to a real good home ! Wink

Regards
Angus.
