Another thing we did in Canberra was to call in to see dad's friend Jim, who has had a Daimler SP250 'Dart' sportscar lurking in his garden for some years (that's Jim with the all-white beard - mine's only a third grey!).
It's a very early, A-spec car (maybe even a 1959) originally delivered to the US in left-hand-drive. Jim has done quite a bit of work on the chassis, engine and suspension; and the car seems complete (even has a spare engine and bonnet and an original hard-top); but it's still a long way from getting back on the road.
Jim's not too worried, though: he has an XJ6 and XJS Jag in the driveway and a bright red Mini under restoration to keep him busy ...
