Sam Beatty from Wonthaggi, apparently bought it a few weeks ago off Gumtree, for $4-5K according to comments, he's just looking to see how much he can get for it.
Pic on his page as of 21st Jan saying it's his new rig.
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Oh dear. What a waste. Thanks a lot for that. Had it listed from when it was on Gumtree but great to keep tabs on what's become of them like that.

Plates are new to me, but it may have been listed as something else before he did all the work on it. I'll keep digging. Ta.
Not sure if it's accounted for but there's one near my work, if it's genuine. All I can pass on is the rego, MI88VL (NSW). It's maroon, has been sitting around the meachanics where I work (RAAF base in Newcastle) and from what I could see it appears to have had an engine swap for what looks like another RB series motor. If i can find out any more info I'll post it here if the owner is happy to let me.

Yeah, he seems to have gone all quiet now. Wont respond to anyone. He's had a couple of offers for the whole car as well. I was the first one to ask about the steering wheel from it. But no response.
But it would be good to see the whole car go to someone that can fix it up. Instead of it getting parted out

I can have a go at hosting pics later it needs paint and the motor has a miss but otherwise all intact was initially thinking around 3 or so but am considering all fair offers I haven't got space I keep it anymore and could use a boost for the wedding .. I can upload any from my phone apparently so if your inreraeted loach send me a pm..
the guy who wrote off the a9y wagon has it on ebay 2500 buy now....
but he thinks it may have a bent C pillar and he reportedly bought it for 4-5k just over a onth ago...

Thanks for that. Caine on here bought it back in 2009 but haven't heard anything about it since. Not sure if it's still his.

Just looked up his account, didn't realise he was on here. Username matches the plates, location and occupation add up, it would have to him.

This one is back up for sale again in W.A
I made an offer based on respray prices in W.A, he didn't take the offer but he did say he would take 5 grand now. Much better than the old 10 grand asking price
Have asked for pics of tags to add to the register
