Meet the rest of the family ... part the second

Gussie (below) has been Kathy's pride and joy for the last three years, and she is responsible for making my dormant, genetic old-car mania come into its current florid state.

It's a long story, but in short Kathy found Gussie after a long search (involving a Ford Zepyhr, a 'finnie' Mercedes, a Humber Vogue or two, an Austin 1800 and a few VWs, among others ...). Kathy has spent *a lot* of money on her in the last few years, and I've spent a lot of time fiddling; and we've had some great motoring adventures, including driving around Tassie, and over the Alpine Way to Canberra.

But now that Dame Zara has come along (and Beryl is nominally Kathy's car too), Gussie is very relucantly for sale.

So if you're a true enthusiast who is willing to take on a near-perfect example of a rare (if not spectacularly rarified) British car, get in touch ...
