Here's a photo of the plate behind the engine.
I'll have to find the other plate. I'm in Melbourne but am going to Horsham this weekend.
The car was going when stored 20 plus years ago.

This car has a quite unusual interior colour of Danube green and Dolphin Green. Paint colours are Olinda Green body with Hialeah Green flash.
Early cars in this colour had Danube Green and Black interior whilst later ones had Danube Green and Turkish Ivory. Only a few had this interior colour.
Only one other in my database with this combination.
Would have been quite an appealing car in its youth with the 2 tone green exterior & 2 tone green interior.

Plate as per picture
BODY FC / 225-30342M
TRIM 280-842
PAINT 253 2047
INSERT 256 2102
TOP 253-2047
This car would be a worthwhile purchase as it is one of the last - registered mid to late Dec 1959 and about 600 vehicles from the end.
I only have a few cars with higher numbers than this one.

Car can be inspected in person, provided you can make your way to Horsham. Phone 03 9571 8687
Anyone want to put forward an offer. Mums keen to see it go.
Wish I could find an extra couple of grand, then I'd freight it over here to WA.
Hope it goes to a worthy home.
However, if you ever feel like selling the grille badge off it, I'd be very interested.
Good luck
Mark
Interesting car, funny that it only has a drivers seatbelt, everyone else had to 'wing it'!! Also I thought it was trailer plug near the towbar on the bodywork, but it's a 3 point 240V plug socket!! Lastly the car has two jacks, must have had tyre problems!! ???
