Mine went very well it was the 1750cc auto, and pulled well, too bad the rust was too bad in the body, I should have kept the engine :(

It may well be tidy, but still totally undesirable.

maybe 'unmolested' would be a better description.

Not the last word in reliability or handling, but rare as in this condition now and probably worth something on that basis. I havent even seen one of these in some years

Motoring is not all about speed.This was not a successful car but I remember touring NZ when they first came out (long story, friend was in PR and arranged it for me) and it was supremely comfortable and quite good to drive.Old failures (eg Edsel) make good collectibles at the bottom end of the price range; this would be fun, and not necessarily unprofitable to own.

geedubu is absolutely right - good Edsels change hands for huge dollars now, and although this old Tasman is probably never going to achieve those heights it will appreciate, and be a usable and interesting classic in the interim

I see it has been modified with twin carbs.The Tasman came with single carbs single round headlamps. The more expensive Kimberley had the twin carbs and twin rectangular headlamps

So about the same as a Ducati 900SS.
