Mona Nath: What do you know about the history of the car prior to your purchase in 1994?
Kim Graves: The belief is that the car came to Australia very early in its life, possibly from new and was bodied in Melbourne, Australia. It was once owned by an Australian explorer in South Australia. The car was broken up and I (and others) have been gathering pieces for many years.
