ayavner Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 huh... cool... i think a Vampire painted flat black would be wicked. Are these common, and how much would one run do ya think?
408059 Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 If memory serves me well Ken Garland bought up the rights a few years ago for the vampire. He has a web site and produces the vampire here in Australia. He's involved with the SAAA as well. A 2 seat variant was manufactured in America until a year or so back when it went belly up. A few have been advertised in the RAA mag over the years. Cheers Steve
pylon500 Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 Vampire painted flat black Flat black never looks as good as you think it will, but GLOSS BLACK can look really good. One was painted thus in the JPS (John Player Special) colours with gold trim. There is a demo video of it (probably uploaded in the past) atthis link; You might be able to order one, but don't hold your breath.. Arthur.
Guest nunans Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 I share a hanger with a nice one in bathurst NSW and I'm sure it's for sale, if anyone is interested in them I could pass on the contact number of the owner
