You might find it more easily if you spell it Kokoda.

I've never heard of most of the movies thus far mentioned! (I'm not a movie fan. I've been to the movies once since 1971.)

Yep. I know it was 1971 as I had just bought my Hillman Hunter and it was in Carnarvon, WA.

Hope you were not one of those who was misled by the Hillman Hunter's win in the 1968 London to Sydney marathon, into thinking that the car was reliable and could survive Australian roads.

Just so you know Ron, the 'moving picture show" now has words and sounds and is in colour!

BUT Charlie Chaplin isnt doing piccies anymore

I bought it because it was much, much cheaper (after trade-in, about $1000 cheaper) than a GTR Holden - and it had 4-doors.

Mine is now with a new owner and is still on the road. I had it for 30+ years, then my son owned it.
