Default Bevans car is sold

Bevans car was sold about 18 months to two years ago, to a well known collector from NSW . I first laid eyes on that particular vehicle in July 1976 , Bevan had just got it road registered , he spotted it while on a trip to the UK and managed to buy it . It was never restored , always in original shape .The club members christened it 'INKY' after its reg. number prefix INK .It was advertised for sale for a long long time , the price 10K , was cheap when you consider its rarity .It almost went back to the UK , at about 3.5K pounds , a bargain for them .

I got to drive it a few times on various club outings . Its last club outing would have been the Avalon airshow , about 10 years ago. It was always a head turner. It had reached the stage where it needs a full body rebuild , not an easy job to say the least .Dry rot has invaded the coach built frame . Bevan actually found the remains of another one , here in OZ , just bits of the chassis. He recalls seeing another one on the road in South Aust. in the 1950's. It appeared in various movies and TV series , 'the Dunera Boys' filmed at Point Cook ,is one I recall.

I hope it gets a new life .
Mike
