Re found as in had a tidy up and found this Album ..
Long story
- it was in a Family house that I moved into in 1981.
My Great Uncle [Grandmothers younger brother ] and wife had bought new in 1923.
It passed through the family .. to Great Aunt, then Grandmothers Older Sister - another Great Aunt to Grandmother and then in 1980 / 81 to my father.
I with another Car Guy - and Austin Healey / Vintage Car guy called Lyle Chambers [ owned a certain BSA Special that has been posted on this forum and is now with a Clive Butler in Auckland ] rented the place of my Father in 1981 and we " flatted " there for the next 3 years, then, when I remarried my new lady moved in, the flatmate moved out, and in 1985 we bought the place.
The Album was in a wardrobe or a cabinet in the house.
Of particular interest is a 1920's Nash Two Door - which I remember hearing about in my childhood.
This is the car..
- with Family members and friends .. Most I have no idea who..
- Humour me..
One photo can be dated within a 12 month period as has the first " National " New Zealand number plates introduced in 1925 [ July ] and were valid to 30th June 1926.
Can anyone identify the " Royal Hotel "
Another Car on the same page as the Nash with the plates shown " NZ96.264 "is this
I thought it could be a Rolls Royce because of the bonnet shape but ???
Any notes on the cars appreciated to update the " Family Archives "
