photograph has been identified as
Chassis no. 590 by Phillip Schudmak.
Phillip says, "I understand that
this is actually a 3/4½ and
is chassis 590, owned by John Vallings
of Auckland for many years. He imported
it into New Zealand in the 1980s and
still has it. I understand the registration
number is now JV." February

my ownership colour green, on the
road and working!!!" John
