Well, after nearly four years, the car is registered and on the road.
These photos were taken on the weekend. I took the boy for his first FC trip. We went down to the local playground so that he could play on the swings while daddy used up a roll of film.
Just today I recieved the original number plates from vicroads that I ordered. So the car now proudly wears the GYS958 number that it was first registered with on 27-04-1959. While I was at vicroads registering the car I found out that you can get a rego search on a numberplate. I paid the $13.30 fee and they sent me the recorded history of the vehicles registration. It told me it was first registered on 27th April 1959 as a grey and white car with the chassis and engine numbers that it still has today. The rego was then transfered to the second owner on 26-08-1997 but the rego expired on 27-04-1998. It remained unregistered untill last Wednesday with its third owner, me..
The car drives absolutely beutifly. Even my wife who had never driven a car older than ten years found it a dream to drive. It sits on the road well, is quiet, and gets many looks. Even the vaccume wipers and standard headlights worked well on a rainy nighttime drive last Friday to Waragul and back. (120km trip.)
More pics to come......
