    Ferris de Joux Jack Brabham body - some pretty serious history here. Bit of fixing up and then a good stash of old 20c coins.

    What a Rip-Off! It was only 5 cents at George Courts way back when!



    On the topic of old neglected car collections, there is an 80-page story on the late Duncan Rutherford's collection at Nelson, in "Heaps More Grady's People" (*)by Don Grady. Some of the cars pictured in it are squeezed between trees etc but they aren't pedigree sporting cars mostly.

    (*) think that's the right title : Grady has put out several books over a period about 'characters' from the Nelson/Tasman/West Coast area. Not a motor racing story but an interesting (?eccentric) character all the same.
    I found it in the Auckland Library system.
