I wonder why those few improvements that make a vehicle "rarer" than its brothers are worth so much more? Are we just too "performance image" conscious or is the extra performance a real difference.

HDT/FPV's are a classic example. You cant really use all the extra mumbo all that often.

Haa haa, I have all of that, came with my SSS

Quoting Richard Clough <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

MessageRob,
Now you know you bought an appreciating investment! $1125 for the instrument
cluster, wow!
What would the SSS badge set, interior trim set, a genuine 1600 SSS Engine
and Gearbox be worth to complete the job?

sounds like the 1600 SSS in Canberra is worth pursuing. That's how the person I bought mine from got it from its original owner. Took him 10 years
of persistant lobbying, so dont give up hope.

Good luck with the SSS register - I know of only 4 510SSS Dattos going and one not going in ACT - I've been after the not going one for what seems like 10 years, be the old cogga wont fix it or part with it. There's one I've
seen on the Gold Coast that's the real deal.

Speaking of eBay, there's an online store started up that's sell old hard to get stuff - like Weber DCOE gasket rebuild kits and at good prices. I've just bought one for $34 which is cheap, last one I bought in Canberra
was $70 so I'll report on how the eBay transaction goes.

      Have a look if you're here if interested:

        Its still going strong on Ebay - good luck to the winning bidder,
closes tomorrow.

        We must start a register of the 1600SSS's  in Oz. It would be
interesting to see how many exist.  Any suggestions as to best way to do
this?  Web site sites?
