Cheers Wakka  Thats a great lead so thank you. The Tenterfield Star may well just have some old photo's of the 60's and 70's. All in the way it was spelt - which is interesting cos I'll go check the Owners hand book. Thank you to all the people who have helped on this one. A trip really looks in order.

Another option is the local historical society, that is often attached or know by library staff. See if Tenterfield has a public library. The staff may also be able to do the research on your behalf. |

So I thought I need to relocate my paper work when I tracked down the first owner in Australia. I really need to learn how to place photo's on the forum I have two mint invoices from Hay's Garage. Dated 1972. plus a number of others. J. G. HAY, M.I.A.M.E. & R. M. RHODES - Prop. Authorised BMC Dealers. 34 ROUSE Street Tenterfield 2372 Phone 341 Also three photos of the car around the same time. Rego plate number BEN 791 ( would really like to have that )

Try Myplates .com and see if they have that plate available, I got the original ones for my 68 s . pretty sure it was called a custom plate and I got it in yellow with black letters and it looks just like original , Cheers. John. |

You'll need a currently registered car in NSW to obtain any plates though! Otherwise maybe one of these eBay people can make you a copy if they post to NZ? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Personalised ... l1TvKTuhdQ |

I will look at some ways of getting one made just for the Garage wall that looks original. Had a reply from the Tenterfield Historical Group and they have offered to find some photo's and history of Hay's Garage.
