I am sure I have missed a lot of details, but am more than happy to chat.

I have owned this car since new, its spent all of its life in the garage, and most of its life in Carcoon (temperature and humidity controlled drip charging inflatable storage system which comes with the car). This car changed countries and homes with me, has taken me over 300kph, done impressive track and circuit times. Its done around 10,000kms on the last build and 66,000kms in total. Above its purchase price, I've spent $80,000 on the builds, $40,000 on storage, shipping, regos, and upkeep, totalling roughly $200K.

The car presents as new, and is very close to showroom condition. It drives as new, and as one can imagine with the scope of work that went into it.

Sob stories aside, I never thought I will sell this car, nor do I have the need to sell it, but the vehicle is not being used, as my automotive interests changed with time and are directed elsewhere. To have this caliber of vehicle sit in the garage unused and untouched seams remarkably unfair and unjust to the actual vehicle, this has solely prompted me to thinking of passing it on.

The car is on full NSW registration with engineering plate. It passed the state inspection with flying colours when I brought it from New Zealand 14 years ago due to the high quality of its build.

Paul Manuel still owns Eastern Automotive Performance Centre, still remembers this car very well, and is more than willing to answer any related questions.

Thanks for reading, and only genuine enquirers need apply.
