10 years ago today, I picked up my Grand Ville ragtop from the TNT depot in Sydney after it has arrived from Mandurah in WA, via Perth.

About 5 hours after I picked it up, it was registered. I managed to get it blue slipped and get to the registry before they closed.

I've travelled 158,000 miles in those 10 years. Compared to my '64 Bonneville Brougham, the Grand Ville has had it easy. The Bonneville did 200,000 miles in 10 years and did it on the same engine - I put a new engine in the GV at Christmas 2011.

I have a photo from the guy I bought it off. I didn't actually look at the car first - just took a punt on it.
