Don Oddie purchased this 4.5L from Russell Beach and in 1963 sold it to Jim Sullivan of Otaio, south of Timaru. Initially this car, the seventh 4½ Litre to be manufactured, had been imported into NZ by a Nelson doctor. Later it was sold by Jim Sullivan's estate to Warner Mauger of Christchurch, who after a few years sold it overseas. In this photograph an overseas visitor, Jerry Carver, is at the wheel.
