There was another big yard just north of Timaru.....Temuka or Orari....was by the river anyway. Used to see it on my visits to ChCh in 1948, sitting in the back of a 1939 Vauxhall 12 trying not to be sick!!!! But there was quite a collection of GMC, Jeeps, and Chev 4 by 4 trucks. We had a Chev 4 by 4 on the farm I worked on in Leeston in 1963....not much load carrying space, but what fun to drive. Had that reverse slope windscreen, to stop glare, I presume. Used to pretend we were in the Western Desert hunting the Nazis!!!!!!
