Ah, the Inspector Clouseau of Rahotu or would that beTaranake...
Good job on the hunt!
Interesting that it was documented as a '53, though it's got '52 front sheetmetal. I would imagine those custom body manufacturers had the ability to do the MSO documents based on year of delivery rather than chassis manufacturers year of production.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Inspector Clouseau of Rahotu?...I like it...it has a nice ring to it!

And as for annoying Rosie...I tell ya mate; in the new house I've got to use GPS to find her!
Reckon I might have to put in some 'speed humps' in order to slow her down enough for me to catch her too!

(And besides...you-all think I'm in jest when I call her 'She Who Must Be Obeyed'...If I was to annoy her I'd be the one to suffer!)
