Fon z, these are the only other two photos of the Ghia I have, from the day Dad bought it.
I will have to get some more next time I'm in melburg.
From your comments, its a rare car in that colour combo?

It's my Dad's. He got it from a lady in Victoria recently.
It was her fathers from new (1960) 51,000 miles on the clock, original running gear 36hp & split case. Hasn't run since 1989, but the lady kept the rego paid up. Got a tip off about it and went for a look.
He's tidied it up and repaired quite a bit of rust in it. Going to be his club car while he finishes his Oval, then it will be stripped down and rebuilt.
Bit of a time capsule.
Did that come from the Castlemaine area by any chance?

Was one of my ovals that I let go a few years ago. I have owned if for many years. It was missing the flash trim when I got it. I later found some trim to suit up in Qld. I have been helping the owner with some small parts to put it back together and are glad to see it back on the road.
Looks ace ! job well done.

That would have made the young couple happy.
