It's the first Mk 6 (not a 7, they don't exist), in NZ, this is the same car as in post 204. 5 seats? 1000cc (actually 1172)
The most historic one in NZ (it may still be in the UK right now). Been owned by Phil Kerr, Jim Boyd, etc. In this photo it was being taken round HD and before the correct front spring was fitted. Sold that day!
Rhys - Carjam yes - very inaccurate sometimes - often sports cars are saloons - so what else can be wrong - I am unsure how it works - does it get information directly for LTNZ or NZTA ?? I only have limited access which is usefull but as we know not perfect - a bit like a Graham Vercoe book ..oops RIP Graham ..
I owned this 2 seater Sprite once -have had four in /on a Sprite but never 5 in a HEALEY SPRIT ..

Buckler 90/1 formerly in NZ now in Holland
Bart Jonkers owns the real car as posted previously and now this;
Quote from Bart " Not enough time to do some real work on my car. So I spent the rainy afternoon modifying this 1:43 car to look like Buckler 90/1. Now it can join the collection of scale models of classics cars I (used to) own. Have a plan to modify those wire wheels to look like E93A wheels. But that’s for later. "

Like Bart I have tried to collect models of " classic cars I ( used to ) own. " Even some non-classics that probably will be one day.
And as a PS ; It is " Oldfart's " birthday today - not that i'm telling OK.. This is his thread, Happy Birthday Mate

Jim's name appeared on many cars - remember his Yard in Hillsborough in the 1970's ..

The Jim Ganley Ford 10 was /is the Jarvie bodied one that features in Howden Ganley's biography -
" The Road to Monaco "
- both he and Dad drove it at times , Dennis Ganley probably did too !!
May have to put some on the Austin Healey thread !!
