So do you know my old mate Jim Benjaminson then?

Yep David , Jim B. saw the pics of the utes I had and wanted to buy mine !! He'd never seen anything like it before ( well , he wouldn't in North America would he ) ... I'd sold mine years before .... I might email him and let him know about the 4 k one..but gees ..you'd have to be keen .

Another club member here had 2 of them in the late 70's... He never finshed them.. sadly he died some time ago. I drove the Plymouth around for a while ,took it on one or two VMVC outings , very comfortable to drive .
