Thanks Guys,
I'm certain that I'll appreciate this one, as you all are saying its in exceptional condition especially considering its age and the conditions these machines are meant to function in. Honestly I find it surprising that any machine of this calibar will survive this length of time, but then again it always depends on how one treats things I always say.
My issue is how I'm going to safely lift this machine into the air and hold it up they while I attach all the anchoring to it at the right angle so it looks good and also so I don't see too much of the underside, which is also very clean indeed.
BTW it must be VC-160 week in Adelaide.
There's another one for sale here in Adelaide but at a much higher price than what I paid for mine.
Here's the link,
