Owner Comments
Registered new in New Zealand 19-4-72 and covered 28k miles up to 1979. Thereafter it was kept registered up to 1991 but garaged and not used, believed due to health of the owner. The car was then purchased by the second owner from the estate of the first owner in 2012 and re-commissioned for road use (re-registered on the original number plate) and road legal as of Nov 2016. . I am now the third owner and the car has now covered 36k miles.
