Is that a fair asking price without books/papers?

Reserve hasnt been met yet, so who knows what he wants for it. Says all original parts included, so maybe that means he has the original wheel

just taking a closer look at thoes pics on ebay, his HSV build plate dose not look Correct for the car. As far as iam aware it Should be SV build plate not HSV for that car. This is a build plate from a walkinshaw i photographed earler in the year and from memory from all other walkinshaws i have photographed and seen they are the same. and his looks like that off a newer model HSV car. Please corect me if I'am wronge, Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I have seen blank new style HSV plates on eBay a few times in the past year asking around $400.00. With no books, the incorrect steering wheel shown, wrong type of build plate on the car. I don’t know what the story is I would just be very careful and check the every aspect of the car and find out its full history. And why does it not have these key items that make a walkinshaw what it is.

Why would you remove a great standard steering wheel and change it to that ugly looking thing?

preserve the original? but surely that would make the car in qstn a testiment to the owner etc..and i agree shes had a bit for 91000ks...
