Are any members planning a trip to Dudley Heintze’s collection in Moppa, South Australia?

The old wrecking yard is being cleaned up after the owner, Dudley Heintze, passed away. Open 8.30am-12pm each Saturday until 28 October. 246 Heintze Rd, Moppa SA 5355

I’ve never been but have always wanted to, as it is a collection along the line of Flynns in Cooma.

Many cars are rumoured to be going for scrap after 28 October, with only the better cars going to auction. That means that most of the Minis could be gone forever soon.

Would anyone be going and willing to take and share some photos of the cars and ID plates for addition to the relevant model registers?

The Morris 850s are of particular interest to me, with a detailed register being formulated behind the scenes for eight-fifty.com.

If anyone happens to know someone in South Australia, or happens to be planning a trip, it would be great to please get some photos if you can!

Thank you,
Evan

I'm particularly interested to see the ID of this white shell. While it mightn't seem much, it appears to be an early 1961 Morris 850 in the first few thousand made.
