History of this Vehicle
1928 - 1975
Unknown, except that it came from St Albans.
.
1975 - Today
Purchases as a chassis with engine and radiator mounted in it, with the rest of it in boxes. It took a few months to sort out what was missing and wondering where to start.
Work on it began in December 1975. Traveling all over the place to the various swap meets, and following up any lead resulted in most of the parts. Many could not be found, and some had to be made by the owner including the spokes for the artillery wheels.
The restoration took 8 years, and the vehicle was road registered in October 1983. It made it's first Annual Tour in 1984, and has since covered most of south-east Australia including The Bay to Birdwood run in Adelaide. It is a good reliable tourer, albeit not real fast.
