Purchased by Mr. R. Kerslake, an Australian who travelled to England,
picked the car up and then travelled Europe, I have the service dockets
from Interlarken, Monte Carlo etc. The car has been in continual use since
it arrived back in Australia in December 1958, at least one restoration in
the late seventies changed the color from the original green to a deep
maroon. My wife and I purchased the car back in 1991 and used it as a
daily driver until the fuel tank leaked and turned the old bomb into
literally an old bomb! Since taking it off the road I've restored her with
a sporting feel, lowered suspension, minilite copy wheels, custom inlet
and exhaust and a balanced and blueprinted engine (hand built by a retired
Abington mechanic). In the near future I hope to run
in rally's and do some historical racing, (or will I fit the Nissan 5speed
first?).
