| David Harrington from Australia sent in this photo of his 1926 12/4, he says that the car was purchased by his inlaws in 1948 but in 1958 when his father- in-law went to buy another car nobody want to trade it, so it was kept on the farm. In 1990 he resprayed it ,cleaned it up and joined a Car Club. In 2002 David had the oportunity to buy the car from the Estate.. He just loves it.. It has already been used for the first Grandchild's wedding | Kevin from Scotland has sent this photo of his recently purchased 12/4 truck ( ute). has is currently putting the original vac tank back in.
