00:00We're selling because we've had enough of this. It's been a burden to us because of all the gear
00:06we've got here and we weren't living here for a long time. Once it's all sold or whatever gets
00:13scrapped it'll be such a relief for us and we'll be starting a new life once we move interstate.
00:20The Mercedes-Benz 220 SE Coupe 1964, 1923 Studebaker Lite 6 four-door tourer all steel body,
00:30Precision Vic 4 motorcycle, veteran motorcycle 1911 and so on and so on. Well this was the first
00:39Studebaker Lite 6 that I bought in 1964, Melbourne Cup Day. It had been converted from a four-door
00:48tourer to a ute, a timber ute back. We were living in suburban Melbourne at that time
00:55and I just had it parked beside the garage with a plastic sheets over it to try and keep the
01:02weather out but unfortunately started to rust a bit so I put some primer after cleaning the rust
01:10off and then and I got the engine going with not much trouble and it had the convertible top on it
01:22and of course the windscreen and so forth and at some stage I decided I'd pull it apart and start
01:28some restoration.
