2 CARS FOR SALE
Dear raiders,
For those who don’t know me: I ‘m Lucky Luk from Belgium and participated raid 2000, 2004 and 2008. Each time I shipped a car over and sold it afterwards. In 2008 we filled a container with 3 cars. One of them wasn’t used: the red car “Sophie”. I bought the car in 2008 in the UK in good condition. It stayed in the shed of Ralph Hibble until it was registered in WA in 2019.
The other car is “Olga”, Ralph and Hanny owned that car for years in Europe and it was based in the Netherlands. When Ralph decided to sell it, I bought it and brought it home in 2019.
Before shipping it, I did some restoration work: new Burton chassis, new bottom plates, new oversized engine, some paint … The car was shipped in 2019 to Perth and was registered there.
The reason for the shipping was that we planned a relaxed family trip with Shayne Harris and both our families from Darwin to Broome and back to Darwin in 2020. We thought that the raid is good fun for us but not so suited for our children 6 and 7 years old in 2020. To get the cars in Darwin we did a trip with some Belgian friends (some of you will also know Joen Adriaen, raider in 2008) and our Ozzie guides Ralphhibble and ShayneHarris. We travelled from Perth to Darwin through the center. For those who are interested you can see the cars and our story in this movie:
[Lucky Luke & The Bloody Bastards (extended version) - YouTube](www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9UellpDr_s)
The cars performed well until Sophie broke the engine on the Stuart highway from Alice to Darwin, so we towed her in. I shipped a new oversized engine to Darwin and Ralph and Thomas Newsome mounted it in the car in 2021.
Our trip was planned in july/august 2020: the flights were booked, reservations were made. But then came COVID… As you all know the flights were cancelled and the restrictions made it impossible to travel downunder… Now we are planning the trip again in july 2023.
Both cars are registered in NT now and if it all works out I want to sell the cars after our Trip in 2023. The reason why posting this now is with the raid postponed to 2024 it might be interesting for new raiders, or raiders that don’t want to ship cars downunder as throught the years they made it more difficult and expensive to ship and import 2CV’s to Australia.
If you are interested or know somebody that is interested, contact me for more information!
Cheers from Belgium,
Lucky Luk
