Tim, on your Flash Kit No.3. That you were looking for more info on cars that had it.

Going through my photos and came across this one. So they did actually exist.

Can't remember where this photo came from, however it was an original black and white showing that flash kit.
No details on the car.

This photo was taken in 1963 by the photographer Jack Eden, and is entitled "The Farm". I bought a copy off Jack a few years ago - lovely guy - and it now hangs in my lounge room along with a colour picture showing a partial shot of the same car, taken in Byron Bay.

Apparently this car was owned by the surfer / surfboard maker / car racer Scott Dillon, who now runs 'Legends' surf museum outside of Coffs Harbour. When I visited last year, he remembered very little about it other than it ran triple carbs... I was sort of hoping to see it on display in the museum

The other flash kitted wagon I posted above was revealed by searching 'FB wagon' on google - I think it was owned by a photographic company.
