Ah, good memories... I think that was the first SVX I ever looked at buying when it was up for sale at some stage years ago.

What's its history?

not exactly sure of its hitsory, BRADY knows a fair bit about it though, when it bought it it had a dead motor, the buy i bought it off owned it for about 9 months and the previous owner to him was named Jordan, he replaced the radiator, heater core and a few other things from what i can find out.
thanks, Ben.

Yep that's the one then. Jordon is the guy I almost bought it off. He'd done bucket loads of work on it, with a lot of it documented on here.

In fact Jordon may even have been the one that pointed me to here in the first place.

I clearly remember him describing the effort to replace the heater core... oh the irony of now having mine sit downstairs with the footwell full of coolant...

i hope he didnt pay money for the stereo install, it was poor at best.... also looks like the centre bearing in the tailshaft has gone looks like ill be replacingit ( hopefully) or taking it to hardy spicer for a replacement.
thanks, Ben.

Did it himself, along with the alarm/immobiliser with fancy remotes.

That was probably the biggest turn off back then. I've inherited rats nest after market wiring before, and it's no fun. (not that I'm saying it definitely was a rats nest - just that I didn't want the risk of finding that out)

fair enough.
