Thanks for the pics Alex & Dave, as usuall I didn't have my camera, and I also missed meeting the girlies
nice to have the pics to save.
To any one who could not make it, or has not been before, it's a great day with plenty to see and do.
The FE is a business sedan, it's owner was a Polish refugee who had the car just about all his life, he worked in SA and also on the Snowy Mountains Scheme, it has been well protected with a good dose of body deadener (even inside the hubcaps) and blankets etc covering the seats.
Ken Mclean purchased it from the estate of the deceased owner, who lived in VIC, and I bought it from Ken & drove it home from Hoppers Crossing in Vic.
As most of you will know the Business Sedan & Standard
models were cheaper than the Specials, and often purchased by Government departments & businesses.
As a bit of fun the police cars previous disguises have been the " Travelling Accountant" and the"Sandy Flats Taxi", but the Police pak seems most popular.
I have no plans to restore this car, although the bodywork is less than perfect, it reflects the cars long life on the road and adds to it's character.
Cheers, Gary
