And is that a bottle of oil in the driver's side door pocket? Or is it brake fluid? Or is it Trans fluid? And why is it so handy to the driver?
One might think that the seller of THE BEST would not need to advertise the fact that the car leaks and needs frequent top-ups? Oh; it's the gin bottle. Silly me...

Have just received a PM from an eagle-eyed member saying it looks like valve lube!! Hmmmmm. Fair sent my mind spinning, it did.

EDIT: Anyway, Merv's Bargain Centre has failed to attract any bids to THE BEST so it is all over red rover....

It looks like a tody car in good condition but I dont think it's the best in Australia. 557600 km for a start...

I'll second that. The interior colour also keeps changing. At least the yellow + brown combination is authentic to the period.
