Here's a shot of my new baby.
Hilda's husband "Harvey"
Acquired the other day from the Local Tweed Heads Senior Constable.
India Ivory/Granite Grey
I'd say 8/10 all round although he needs new paint.
Has spats, original grey with oil bath and no filter.
I'm hoping Harvey n Hilda may be able to procreate, but I think Hilda is past menopause.
The plan is to take both Hilda and Harvey to nationals. Sarah wants to take one and I'll drive the other.
Numbers for Ken
FC-226-7059A
Trim 277-629
Paint 253-7700
256-7770 top
Engine is L621615 which seems to be a replacement as this car is a 1958.
Body number: 88968-B

kiwi - not a easy fooled bird
Emu,
Looks like a really good score - is it original paint?
Certainly looks good in the photo - and most importantly very complete.
Cheers,
Craig.
Not sure about the paint Craig.
It seems to me that the India Ivory is more yellow than I have seen.
I think it may have been re-sprayed at some stage.
I am going to try to find a bit of history of the car.
Has hada couple of grand spent on motor, gear box has been re-co'd, new tyres all round, new exhaust. It was a great pick up I reckon.
Looks like a very tidy example. You did good!!
Looking forward to seeing your cars and naturally yourself and your good wife at the Nats. Only a year away now.
Regards
Alex
Hi Emu
Well the eggs are starting to hatch at your place. I think I should pull my finger out and find myself another car.
I started holidays on friday so am going to resume the big strip down on Grace again this week.
I will find that car I am looking for sometime soon.
What can I say? it's all been said, nice pick up Emu.
Be still, oh beating heart.
......and to think, I was debating whether to change the colour scheme.
Never, I tell you. Never!

Sorry Emu, I got carried away. Your new FC is identical to my first FC, that is currently being rebuilt with a 307 Chev.
It can be the evil twin to yours at the Nationals.
Regards
Ed
Eddie get rid of the Squiggle line in front of your name in the properties of the picture.
