History of this Vehicle

 

1924 - 1960

History unknown.

Thought to be owned by doctor on south coast of NSW.

 

1960 - 1970

The owner bought the vehicle for $300 and stored it in a shed on blocks with the wheels off.

1970 - Today

Vehicle was in completely original condition, although totally worn out when purchased.

The body was painted maroon and the leather upholstery was in poor condition requiring full recondition.  The timber was in good condition and didn't need replacing.

 

The vehicle was fully restored over 3 years with all major work carried out by the owner, and it is a very reliable club car.
