Khadir has a mild obsession with vintage cars and motorcycles (as you guys might remember from the blue Holden Tucker). This seves as a hobby business for him, as he is very clever at buying the vehicles at low prices, rehabbing them, and selling them at a significant profit.
His most recent turn-around was another lovely maroon and white Holden, which secretly I didn’t want him to sell as it is actually a smoother ride than my namesake. After weeks of telephone negotiations with various potential buyers he sold to a guy in Makassar (which is in Sulawesi, a whole other island, so don’t ask me how it’s getting there) who bought it to celebrate his impending nuptials.
Here are two shots of the car, displayed outside a friend’s house. I’ll let you guess how much it sold for, but the answer is… not that much more than what Topher got for my dinky (but great!) little Ford Focus. I think there would be a potential for a really profitable import business buying vintage cars in Indonesia and selling them in the United States, the only problem is the steering wheels are all on the wrong side…?
