ha ha joe ya cracker ..

nice car tho !

it was annie, the car was only a few years old when i bought it for $11,500.00

the A9X when new in 1977 was that price from the dealers, held it's value and crept up ever since

an average one these days can set you back about $125,000.00 

that one pictured had original panama green paint, straight as a die

sweet to drive

wish i still had it

boris,thanks for the info on the book!

[amber-eyed-girl]

Commando is the term here too.

my book is the same as Boris has, from The Folio Society. They did a series of the Fairy books in different colours.

[sineaterdoodah]

oooo...do they have all of them? i read them all as a kid,loved them,but the hardcovers are usually beyond my financial reach.

Love those books. I'd never heard of those before.

Sin, keep your eyes open on ebay too.

Although from what I'm seeing, it seems the website Amber posted is quite reasonable.
