Also looking for a Amazon Estate

Burdekin · Apr 3rd, 2011, 10:07

Hi Guys,

I had a chat with the mrs yesterday about buying an Amazon estate and I got the go ahead as long as we have one new car for her and driving in winter etc so am on the look out for a Amazon estate in good condition. Mechanically not too fussed about condition, obviously the better the condition the better but what I want is one with good body work with no or very little rust.

If anyone has a good Amazon estate out there please pm, email or phone me. Am in no rush so I will wait for the right vehicle.

Cheers,

Mitch

The green one for sale at Thornfalcon classics seems to have sold. Whether they got the asking price or not, I am not sure, but it seemed to go quite quickly.

It had only done something like 43,000 miles, so in some ways it was almost too good to use as a daily driver.

Quite a few Amazon estates available in Sweden, but of course they're left hand drive. No cheaper than in this country either....

They're a bit cheaper in Finland, but I can't find a Ebay type thing for Finland. Still left hand drive and a very long way back to the UK!

The increasing value of Amazon Estates - they're getting rare...

Thanks. Want it as a daily drive and left hand drive wouldn't be ideal. Anyone imported one from oz and have any idea how much it would cost to send one over? Saying that I have never seen one over there but a better chance of less rust if I did find one. Back home in Sept/Oct for a trip so if I haven't found a decent one by then I'll start to look around oz for one if price permits.
