Carobs "OLD" Relocated 350 sx

[Oz2]

Its finally here and on the Australian roads.....Having owned this awsome car for 13 months I got to drive it for the first time Wednesday, 1 and a 1/2 hour (trouble free) drive north from Sydney....I last drove a TVR in 1998 what a BLAST from the past......I did'nt think my mid-life crisis would be quite this good

Hi Jonny,

I don't think that hood will ever see the light of day again! Now is our wet saeson and as im sure you have seen on the tv Queensland is underwater..... but the suns out in NSW

L O V E L Y, I have drove that car myself Adam so i know what you are talking about. The best thing to do is get someone else to drive it and you drive infront. Never heard such a sweet sound whistling off the supercharger. Then let him overtake you and listen again its awesome from the back too. If i have one fault with it is i needed a cushion to sit on to see out of the windscreen LOL. Glad to see it has gone to another TVR enthusiast, cause i know Robby loved it.

May all your miles be loud ones!!!!!

I have a couple of pics of the sx and your car Dix,I think I got them from old posts on PH when resurching the car to buy it.....It's kind of wrong to take such a car offshore, but I really wanted a special wedge and when it came up for sale I knew what it was straight away so i jumped on it.

[dixiebabes]

No chance bud if its on the road dont matter where in the world it is. When you see a neglected one on its way to the breakers yard thats what hurts.

And here we see the TVR beast quietly taking a drink at a nearby watering hole..Alone it is..lonely it is not..yet no other beast would dare to disturb it in its subdued state..

or in mike dundee's voice.

Strewth look at the size of that beastie, think i'll feed it a couple of skippies and a koala to keep it off our back's, come on neville [the aborigine] let's get the croc out of here.
1 mile away let's have a barbie and couple cans of grog [foster's]and we'll watch this beauty.
[Neville] - pity we've not got a couple of shiela's mike.

You do know about dodgy wedge handbrakes ?

There's a Cerbera in Melbourne - nearly the same colour

Lovely pics

What do the locals make of it ?

Hi Adam

Seeing the pictures of the SX yesterday and today have really put a smile on my mug, they have also made me realize what a amazing car i was proud to own.

I am sure the SX will give you such enjoyment throughout your ownership and you really are a lucky wedge owner.

Enjoy to the max and keep the pictures coming.

All the best

Rob

This is strange - two SX's now owned by Adam's ;^)

Have fun, Adam.

Yes and as one SX left Australia another one arrived....what are the chances?it was even the same colours(except for the brass dash) and what happened to the 400sx that returned to England?

The second picture in your first post reminds me very much of a picture from one of the articles i have seen on the fabulous SX.

"Blowin Free" was the name of the article, sure you must have some cuttings of it in the box you have.
