    SNX 891 "Oxford" London to Australia cross country tour 2018?

    I have managed to track down, obtain. recover and reassemble the old girl in just over 6 months. The paint is not posh its untouched just as it was recovered from St Helena. This car has driven overland from London to Singapore "55-56" and back home in just 1 year then shipped out to Ascension Island "57-77" then to St Helena "77-2017" now back in the UK. She is on the road and Tim Slessor has even driven his car after 61 years. Do you think it might be possible to organise shipping Oxford to Australia for a cross country tour?

    Wow! That is awesome. Especially the last image where they’re all reunited. How do you go about tracking down such a vehicle? I’ve watched the movie of her doing the crossing and have to say she’s aged well. Bloody good job!
