I towed the van on several trips to Queensland.

FE and caravan at Taree.



My parents traded the ply van in and purchased this Viscount Caravan new in 1966.

The FE also towed this van on several holidays to Queensland.

Mal,

Interesting to see that at some stage post 1965 your FE 'grew' a bonnet mascot, only to lose it again circa 2003.

Another one of my daughter Alex, looks like she's supervising.



Spinner,

I have 2 FE mascots but they are pitted, so I welded the holes in the bonnet

Great photos mal they are very interesting and a good walk through the time capsule it must be athrill to have your car still after allthese years.

Mal,
Top shots bet it felt strange being outside your old house with the same car after all these years.
Cheers,
Graham ;)

nice shots Mal,
Good time capsule effect.  Did the FE know it was home?  Did it try to turn into the driveway.

If you don't mind me saying, you wear your tennis shorts a bit lower these days (which is probably much more comfortable) ;) ;)

Excellent to see a car kept in the same family for so long.  The history is an important part of any car.

Thanks for all your comments. I enjoyed going back to the past.



I found a slide recently, taken in 1968 outside my old house with my daily driver. (this is the only coloured photo I have prior to 1976).
