1929 4.5 litre Tourer,
Reg No: XO 5410, Engine No: PL 3483,
Chassis No: PL 3487
PL 3487 was shipped to East Africa
in the early I930's. There it was
severely damaged in an encounter with
a "large animal". Eventually
it filtered down to South Africa where
it was bought by Jack Acutt and restored
by him. It was he who christened it
Harry. Harry then spent some time
in the care of John White, going with
John on the 1983 International Tour
of South Africa. In 1989 he sold it
to the late Mike Morelli.
It is now owned by Peter, Mike's son,
and lives in New Zealand. It has travelled
extensively in New Zealand, doing
two BDC tours as well as the 2004
Rolls-Royce Centennial Tour, driven
by Evan & Gill Douglas. Later
that year Peter and Mary took Harry
to the Australian BDC Nationals in
Western Australia. |
