Grimmy , my understanding .... there was a guy in Tauranga [Not John Gillard] the guy was a car painter or a postman , he owned it & crashed it before I moved to Tga , & the car ended up in a garage for years in Auck, That is how the story went , Cedie might know more as he knew the foot steps of most of Ernie,s fords........ You do know it was put back to gether ??? Well the numbers are on the fire wall tag ???????????????? . Was on TV a couple yrs back claiming to be Ernies car .........
