VSCCA, Missig Minerva

Jon's Missing Minerva

I owned a Minerva that was in pretty sad shape on purchase in 1958. I was 14 years old, and spent a couple of years trying to restore it. The magneto was completely rebuilt by Dowling Motors, 5 ways, Wooloongabba, Brisbane. I got it going and drove it around the block a few times, went ok, drove like a truck. As my income stream was miniscule, I could not see my way to finishing it. A fellow from the vintage car club purchased the old girl, and now after all this time, I would like to know what happened her. The year of purchase is within a year or two. The chap who owned it before me was Mr. Parkinson, who lived at Salisbury, Brisbane. This is a long shot, but if you can help trace this car, then I would be able to see it restored, or it might have been pulled down for parts. Regards, Jon
