The car had arrived in the yard prior to my starting work there , that was ~1973/74 IIRC so at a guess somewhere around 1971 thru 72 maybe a bit earlier. Cannot remember ever seeing the car on road, was somewhat surprised at time to find it was 'the' car & in southland. Thru family connections I now know the previous owner, will make some enquiries about the car next time we meet, never know, he might have some pics.
