So i bought a Gransport... without seeing it... Does anyone recognise this car? What have i done...

Hi all!

LONG time dreamer.... long time fan ...
A Gransport came up at auction... I bid my max that I could afford and won it...

Without seeing it.... but I love it...

What have i done....
I was after a manual 3200 for years but they sort of seem to be getting more expensive than the 4200 and up with GS prices....

Does anyone recognise this car? Can they tell me anything about it...It's from QLD, also if anyone has a GS workshop manual they could share that would be amazing!

Many thanks

If you love it, then you have done nothing wrong - good for you, life is short and sometime you have to roll the dice.

I hope it proves to be a good buy - enjoy

Balls of steel! Good on you. Hope it's a good 'un. If not, we'll queue up with advice and consolations.

Make sure you let us know!

If it’s got a good clutch, brakes and tyres you should be ok in that climate.

I'm guessing it was a good buy so if you have to do anything you'll not break the bank as you can buy for top dollar and still spend.

Nice work. I bought my GS before I found the forum and it was very good to me. You’ll enjoy it regardless I’m sure.

Congrats & welcome to the deep end of the pool. At least it's warm, what with all the people and the urinating on each other.

Shame about the forum, really. The GS was great, as I recall.

Cheers!! It has an airbag light on and the gear selector switch only works in reverse! But u can select gear with the paddles . That's all I know atm.

Was probably the cheapest GS in Australia so I'm expecting it to have a lots of issues... but it drives,runs and it's my favourite colour combo so I'm like a kid in a candy store atm. Getting freighted down to Sydney this week .

Airbag could be anything, but the gear selector will probably be one of the microswitches breaking down. No biggy

At the end of 2022 I clicked the 'Bid' button one evening on an on-line auction. Didn't expect to be the only bidder.
Four days later a black Gransport arrived on the back of a truck.

It's been fabulous. I never get out of it without a smile on my face.
Hope you have as much fun with yours as I have had with mine.
