The Purvis Eureka Forum

Hi All,
I am after a Reek and here is my "wishlist":
1.  Current Queensland registration and RWC.
2.  Late model F4 with T Targa roof.
3.  Late model Rotary or Subaru motor with Turbo and EFI.
4.  Excellent condition through-out.
5.  Floorpan that has been dropped to accomodate my 6'2" height.
6.  Independent Rear Suspension.
7.  Limited slip diff.

Did I say it was a WISHLIST??? 8)

I will post all of the Reeks I find in this thread as the search continues and see what comes up. Others are welcomed to benefit from the ads I find around the place. 

If anyone has a lead on a real nice unit which isn't obserdly priced please PM me or text/call me on 0402 327 383.  

Thanks,
Dean

This unit has a 12A carby motor that has been recently repaired/rebuilt and has warranty.  Current Vic rego.  Pictures tell a lot of the story.  Mirrors falling off. Asking $24500.

Current Queensland rego!!!!  Yaaaaa.

But original VW motor and a wee bit overpriced at $35000.00 8)

And of course all of the fine examples to be found here on the forum in the classified section:

$35,000..........................   wow, I'm sitting on two gold mines.............  yippeee.....

Yep, but as he mentioned it was "very original" so maybe it is worth the dollars....................... :-\

i like the one on the second post shame it selling price is out my reach .... 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

Well this is the last of this thread.
In 6 sleeps and a wakey I pickup my reek from it's current owner.
Thanks for the all the help and hints. 
Thanks to the guys I have pestered along the way with my tyre kicking.
Thanks to my wife who said "Yes, but no more toys for 5 years!!" as she was placing her foot down in said bodily position in a careful but firm way.  I'm sure the blood in the thumbs will feel normal as the screws are slowly released over time.

Onwards and upwards.

I still can't believe no one has asked Dean about the new Eureka he's getting??

 ;D

Meow, Grrrrrrrrr, Spit, Hiss..............

5 sleeps and a wakey.

Focus Dave.
                    The cat's out of the bag? It appears you were correct.

     Simon

Hey Simon....

my catonese language book is falling to bits .... it's good to see i can be right about something sometimes.. ;D

makes a great metaphore for me im so confucious lately... :P

Sorry Dave, that was my poor attempt at strange humor.

Yes you were right, I am indeed buying Liam's Red Rotary Reek from Rockhampton.  (Hey that was funny and I didn't even have to try!)

Mmmmmm...... New nickname for the the car. RRRR? or 4R? or The Double Double R Car?

In all seriousness, I feel very lucky to be picking up Liam's car and I totally respect the work he has put into it.  I just hope I can look after it well and help promote our passion for these machines.

As I said to a friend of mine who asked "Why a Purvis? Why not a Porshe?".  My reply was

i enjoy great jokes an humour where i can find them too  8)

A porsche 944 from memory with a sunroof  an a eureka sports with a freedom screen an sports canopy were being sold at the same time for the same price 9 years ago now so why pass up the opportunity to be different an cool at the same time...so i chose the the eureka 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

i know a great joke an solution to the answer why the chicken crossed the road  ??? ???
pass up an opportunity to play chicken with a eureka on the otherside no way :P...

Hmmmm.
                 Interesting observation. I can't sell my cousin's imaculate '84 Porsche 944 for as little as 12 large. It's had more than 35 gorillas spent on it and less than 55,000 original k's but nobodies interested.

Gee's it's getting ridiculous out there.

     Simon

he wouldn't turn the key for less than 5,500 up front... :P
