It's a car with 4 wheels. That's the idea. What do you want to know?

correct -the nose would have been a dead giveaway. AFAIK the commanders side looks a bit different to this. this is the local specimen Studebaker are one of those typical American car companies that transitioned into cars from building horse carriages. Even the town they were based in South Bend, Indiana sounds so much in sync with Horse Carriages

Thks @fiat fan for pointing me. I was reading this thread from the beginning. As the topic is bit wider, I did not try to express my thoughts. Anyway @jayasantha42805 I am restoring a Morris minor 1000 and writing a blog about it. The task is almost finish & hoping to update the blog soon. If you are interest here is the link. Although I am not an MM specialist, I would like to express anything further if needed. If you narrow down the topic, I think other members will comment as well.

So pathetic & unethical to see how these so called "Car sale owners" are manipulating the prices of vehicles which they have already imported. These crooks try to make super profits by creating rumors in the market. On the other hand, they use their network and contacts to buy used vehicles from private owners and resell at much higher prices with fat margins. It's so hilarious to see cars in the likes of Toyota Allions/Premios which are older than 10 years & clocked more than 100k in mileage are being advertised at 05 million or more for sale?? Don't panic right now if you are looking to buy a vehicle & wait patiently till the speculation is over in the coming months. Don't waste your hard earned money at a time when income sources of general public are badly affected due to the pandemic. Prices will automatically come down when there's no demand for such high-priced vehicles. Soon there will be price control mechanisms introduced by regulators to curb price hikes to protect the consumers. Hence it is wiser to be a little patient & reward yourself later with a reasonably priced vehicle? than regretting for paying an unrealistic price now?? CHEERS?

It is saddening but yet so humorous that people are not worried that a depreciating commodity like a car can yield better returns than other hard investments. I suppose they simply do not comprehend the state of the economy for it to actually happen and what will further happen to the economy when people keep doing it. Most the car buyers do not even realise why financing rates are so low...oh well Its a self balancing thing noh ? Now everyone will be going to cars because the traffic moves smoother...and then car lanes get clogged up and bike lanes free up..then everyone goes back to bikes....the next investment opportunity can very well be scooters and motorbikes

At the moment cars are a better investment. That's why i bought it for cash. Money at bank yield only 5% max. and will drop after the end of quarter. property market is also dropping and is not liquid. Investment funds are yielding at 9-10% and will drop further. So in the current context i pre-empted and bought a car and the return at current rate is 10%. Personally i do not need to show off with a 2010 Benz as i own 2018 Audi A5 as the daily runner. I can only laugh at these generalized comments of the pundits

Ok then try this guys. Its a cute little car and the dashboard is something unique.

6.Front Brake Pad Replacement Previous owner of the car had changed the brake pads at 94,000kms in 2017. This has been done at the agent and back then they've charged Rs.16,580/- for the pad set and Rs.1,443/- as labour. After almost 60,000 kms (58,900kms to be exact) I decided to change the brake pads as they were worn out pretty bad and I had a trip planned to visit Nuwara Eliya. Got it done last Friday at Unit#d Mot#rs - Orugodawatte. The prices are as follows, Brake Pads - Rs.18,810/64 Labour,Lathe & Vat - Rs.4,444/64 So the prices of parts have increased about Rs.2,200/- and Labour about Rs.600/- for three years. They recommended to replace two caliper pins and brake shims soon as they've worn out. Gonna talk to my mechanic about it later. Found out that lower arm bushes are kaput and arm links too needs to be replaced. My tires barely has thread. Needs to replace them as well. f**k me side ways!!!!

I've used these on my previous Lancer and had a very pleasant experience. Wipes clean and lasts long. Couldn't find these around my area lately.

@kusumsiri over to you mate!

It is genuine, with the book. With my experience, Japanese owners won't tamper the speedo :-)

You plan you buy and restore? I'd love to see. I have a contact who used to work on Morris minor and happy to help with any info.

Someone going to be lucky, look at the k’s

Yep . Not selling under open papers part does the trick !!

Not a new incident... That has happened to me 2 times.. they buy it saying various stories.... including " සල්ලි අමාරුයි, ණයවෙලා ගන්නේ, කලින් වාහනෙන් ගොඩාක් පාඩු උනා, පූසි පැටව් දාලා.. .".and all the excuses.. so I just sell... but within 2 weeks I see their ad at higher price.. saying home used car... bla bla... Now I sell my vehicles only after transferring... the following day I send the MT 6 to RMV ... then none of the fellows comes.. and I put that part in my ad too... will not be selling "open papers "

recently I sold a Range Rover LWB and 2 weeks after its for sale 12 million higher than the price we sold ?. Then again once a car is sold new owner can do what ever he wants with including selling it for a higher price. Whats wrong with that?
