Hi Mopeps!

Have been registered on FABO for a while now but not really used the site much.
Have spent most of my time with the very helpful MMA people on their forum here in the UK.
www.moparuk.com

So here goes....

I am Australian, live in England and own an Australian A body.
This is no show car, so I can enjoy driving it every day!
It's a 1970 Chrysler VG VIP. 318, TF904, AC, LSD.
This was an official Chrysler import to the UK back in '70.

My understanding is that the Aussie Chryslers (including Aussie Chargers) were imported the the UK because they were of course already a RHD production and that there may have been some import duty/tax advantages to importing cars from a Commonwealth country.

I am sure there will be other Aussie Valiant/Chrysler owners on FABO so I hope at least some of you are aware of what I have.

The Aussie Chrysler VG VIP was the luxo barge long wheel base version of the 4 door Aussie Valiant VG.

The sheet metal is different design to that found on Mopars from outside Australia, but I am sure you will be able to recognise it's blood lines!.
