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. :D :D :D
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. :cry: :cry:

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.
