Correct Rick . It's 'John Guttridge' I think . I was up there many years ago: at the time he had a Jailbar Ford with a Holden engine and Valiant car or similar independant front end under it . He found my first C8 near Flowerdale . He had a Bedford engined White scout car at one time , 1976 .

Mike, I met John again a couple of year ago in Yea. He hadn't seen me for around 45 years, but still remembered me. I left Yea in 1957. I did see his Bedford engined White Scoutcar in Bairnsdale towing a very large tandem caravan many years ago. He had the White converted to right hand drive as well. It also had aluminium panels but the correct canvas hood, and the roller was still on it. Didn't know who's it was for a number of years, though.
