Duncan has asked me to post these images:
The project was supervised by another Trustee, Max Colman and the Restoration Team was led by Nelson member Mike Stephens. Austin 7 guru, Dick Anderson was responsible for all the actual restoration work, assisted by Des Plummer and Allan Braid along with many local and out of town supporters and businesses. Much of the labour was entirely voluntary and our thanks go to all involved.
The Austin has heritage value and will be protected as such.
This little car started the McLaren dynesty and will be the centre piece of the new permanant home for the
Bruce McLaren Trust.
