The old man rode a matchless 500 down to coast from brissy when he was a clubbie of southport.
I think it was a matchless
The real one of this would probably be the rarest of old holdens?...
Called the Sandman Seawitch,only one made,the original has never been found,painted by a German spray painter who has since passed away.It's been copied many times!...
Combis really were good surf wagons. That rear engine meant there was a fair bit of weight on the rear wheels and they were surprisingly good in soft stuff. 25 years ago we used to flog a mates Combi into Derrs. Anyone who remembers the dunes knows that was no mean feat. It was set up as a camper so once there we could make a day of it and were the cool kids having coffee and sangas in comfort and shade in between the waves.
That one looks well loved, Macaha. And, why I like to see all the old cars looking pristine again, I also like to see them looking like the get used for their intended purpose. I don't think anyone would drive a Combi in 2015 like my mates used to get driven. It was absolutely immaculate and got sold in 1996 for $6500.
Oh let me know. It would be good to be in a car after a week at home
Ill be off the pain killers after tomorrow and be able to drive
