Headed to Australia

[hossfly]

After four months of negotiations and waiting for Australian Government approval, my 64 Daytona R1 Sedan is headed to a Studebaker guy in Nanook, Australia. Now I have to find a new stable mate for my 48 Landcruiser. I'm looking at a couple of Avanti II's and an R2 Avanti, and possibly an R1 AC Avanti. I started out looking for a nice 63 or 64 convertible, haven't found one that the sellar didn't think was made of gold. I'd like to find something done, but who wouldn't.

Someone is getting a great car. It's been a pleasure watching you drive that sweetheart all over the country.

Been there done that at least 100 times, they love the Studes in Australia and New Zealand, and all good people to say the least.

Geez Bob, where's my invite?------------I want my money back from that last transaction, lol.

[mbstude]

I've liked every Australian that I've had the pleasure to talk to or even do business with. Overall just a great bunch from my experience.

In some cases, I even get to drive some cool cars. Hey Matt, how's that '41 Buick coupe liking Brisbane? Hope you like that twin-carbed straight eight as much as I did.

Ok Brian when should I sent it back? I have some one that will give me more, but either way you are welcome any time also as are all people from Australia even the mosley's might even invite that guy name Mackellar, hang in there guys South Bend is coming.

I actually got the name wrong, Mr. tanner lives in Nannup, Western Australia, it is outside of Freemantle. If it were on the East Coast of Australia, I could have had it on a ship out of New Orleans. It has to ship out of Gardena, Ca. to Singapore then to Freemantle. About a three month journey if all the connections are made.

[avantilover]

I met Neville Tanner at this year's National Meet, nice fellow. Strange that a better shipping arrangement couldn't be made, it's probably 26 days to Singapore then 3 or so down to Fremantle. I'm sure the car will be a nice addition to Western Australia's Studebaker population.
