But it's true, I should have tried harder!
I like the blue one...
An Italian FJr by the look of things, Fiat 1100 powered. What make is it?
I tend to agree, Dale, however I posted it in response to the comment by ERC about finding or dating pics...
Your post, though, has helped me date it and prove it wasn't mine. Brian Caldersmith...
If someone could access the data in the picture I might find out I didn't take the photo...
That's always a possibility.
Filing pics can be a problem, lately I've been troubled trying to work out when I took this one:

It's not just that I don't know...
That was just a part of it, Ken...

I caught up with the car again, surprisingly enough, two years later:
Tuesday, May 3, 2016…
Another day which was to be tinged with disappointment despite the joy of meeting up with friends...
Continuing the story of that day in 2014:

And it gets better! East of Butte there is the 'Continental Divide' where the van readily...
What more can I tell you?

What a story!
I've been seeing the tag in You Tube for a few days and until I saw this thread it was just something I might look at. But now I'm glad I saw the thread and went straight to the...

P76 on the road. Hustling up through the cutting to the Cootamundra rail underpass.

Notice that the one pictured has the unique Targa Florio wheels?
Somewhere I have photos of a beautifully kept (or restored?) green Targa Florio which lived in Cootamundra. The owner also had a...

They did share gearbox, rear axle and wheels...
Classy rig!
No doubt it was a straight eight and had an overdrive box...

The Buick had no gearbox, just a Ruckstell 2-speed diff from a T-model...
I think that was my question too...
Really strange to promote a 1959(?) New Zealand race meeting with an unexplained photo from an Australian race run in 1949.
