Saw this car today at a Car Show at Pahoia, near where I live in Omokoroa.
Car Show was organised by the local Mechanic Brian Kirk and the local Tyre Guy Steve Abbott.
Steve is the son of Russ Abbott who worked on my Triumphs and Austin Healey's in late 1970's early 1980's.
A good low key show with probably a couple of hundred cars [ left after an hour so didn't see the late arrivals.
