Here you go....the owner of this car is still digging through about 3 metres of volcanic ash looking for his pride and joy. Last seen 1964 at the Rabaul Yacht Club, New Guinea. Never know, they might find it in a million years and the engine still turns over but there's no fuel.
Us old fossils won't be round either......oops, sorry girls

Yeh. I think your right Matt. 410 Datto Bluebird. Early production was 1200. Then a change to 1300.Farmer wrote:1300 Bluebird I think Joe. And possibly an old Benz in the background.

Bozojo had originally put it up on facebook and rang me to tell me that he did.
I told him I wasn't on facebook and he suggested that he would put it up on the forum.
Now I know what he was looking at. 1964 I think was the year Rabaul was covered in ash from a volcano
erupting.?
Going to check that out. Will advise.
