The filling was more like rusted metal that had been dyed. The rear view mirror has been attached to the body with a liberal dose of silastic. Might have been a nice Ford once, is that a Fairlane front?

The Lexcens (and the others) tend to be in better nick as a lot of them did not start off in fleets, I remembers some fleets that did grab Lexcens when delivery times for Commodores were long and Lexcen's could be picked up ex stock and in most cases cheaper.

If you like nice old Aussie cars saved from the scrappers, Survivor Car Australia magazine is a good read, most good newsagents have it or you can subscribe at survivorcaraustralia.com.au, just renewed my subscription. I also subscribe to Unique Cars and it is good too, but some of the prices people want for thier classics are stupid.

There's also a yellow Morris Minor that I sometimes see around Ringwood, it has VW Beetle tail lights retrofitted to it, and first gear seemingly has a top speed of walking pace.
