he has got a valid point. the problem with it is how do we know they will start dead. like take tiny for example, i thought he was definately was a gone and id have to reshell and make a tiny2 (back in force). but some great news has come about and someone is willing to fix him, so if i had already put a post up in the memorial what would that be like raising the dead?

as long as we don't list body / chassis / engine numbers so as to stop rebirthing I can't see a problem.

My 1966 black 1100S powered deluxe that got totaled on the side of the western hwy 7 -8 years ago you are sadly missed....

Good idea, I think just a production date, make and model and the date it was declared dead and one or two pics if possible will be perfect.

Purple? :lol: It was a custom purple, not sure of the mix or what paint it was but could always find out. The painter that did it was very impressed with what he had came up with. A few panel shops that were around in Sydney tried to match it but they couldnt... They were actually coming up to my brother and asking him if they could either know the mix/ base coats ect or if they could take a sample :shock:
Im not a fan of purple cars but it was ok... There are some other pictures around somewhere, that have some decent sunlight on her
