Thanks for the dealer list !

Just looked up my home town...

Kiama ... and there is Addisons Corner Garage...

Still in operation and being run by Freddie Addison !

(And now the last petrol station still operating in Kiama I believe !)

I'll also have to post a picture of the sticker from Regal Motors Gosford still in the back window of the 850 I picked up the other week.
