Ok ..I received an email from Tyrrells Sister Judy regarding the car
Several years ago the continential special was owned by an enthuisist in Christchurch and was
garaged in a warehouse in the central city - It was taken to Ruapuna Park and put throu it's paces for a TV programnme about the musical play entitled The Continental Special, The Car that Flew
I wouldn't like it's chances of having survived the Earthquakes if it was still there.
I have two contacts that could help - Glenn Sparrow, Garrys Son ph .......... or ph ..........
Or Wendy Steeds nee Mulholland ph...........
I hope they can help you and thank you for your continued interest in the boys incredible invention!
Best wishes Judy Glen nee Turtill
I have Phone numbers for the contacts mentioned above if anyone is interested( send me a personal message)
