Yes, they draw a lot of attention. Just getting the tank filled can take some time in discussions. But the upside of this is the smiles on people's faces when they see the car.
It's worth it just for that.

Black C3 headed south down Lane Cove Rd North Ryde at 11.30am yesterday.

There's a black C3 owned by a guy in the Epping area, who I have yet to meet. That might have been it.
It's C3 chromie for me, see? Si!

Heading up the C/Coast today, had to turn back as after 5 minutes of wipers working with intermittent rain, the wiper door opened and nothing happened  :huh:.  So dropped into Brooklyn, to grab coffee, and came home via pacific Hway.  Saw a black C3 (maybe that one from around Epping?) 74-76?  only gotta glimpse through traffic, heading North at Roseville.

RMS has that recorded as a '79 model.

BTW: love the 5 year dealer warranty.

Black C3 in ep. 1 of Ice Wars @25:15 mark. If it's the proceeds of crime it may end up auctioned and in the hands of someone here; it now has some provenance, lol

Bumped into a red with white interior '78 in a petrol station in Coffs today while traveling in my black '79. Anyone here?

Peter Brooke's and I saw the car about September last yr with the owner, it's a small block auto RHD.
Needed some work but I am shocked at it going for that money.
I wish the new owner well.
The previous owner had it from the 80,s .
