 This vehicle started its life in Mortlake Victoria, being purchased by a Mr L G Cochrane of Boorook st Mortlake. Mr Cochrane purchased the vehicle from the local Holden Dealer at the time W.CHISTIAN & CO on the 23^rd of July 1962 registration No HOG-898.  For the next Ten years or so this vehicle spent its life in the Mortlake district, only travelling a mere 12,644 miles or 20,349 kms.                

 On the 20^th of December 1972 the vehicle was sold to a Mr John J Louttit of East Geelong Victoria, The vehicle then spent the next 31 years in the Louttit family, in this time the vehicle was there every day vehicle until Mr Louttit was no longer able to drive. The vehicle travelled a total of 106,863 miles or 171,979 kms over the 31 years it spent in the Louttit family, an average of 3450 miles or 5552 kms a year.

 On the 26^th of September 2003 a Mr Allen R Beekmans of Winchester crt Corio Victoria purchased the vehicle from the Louttit family with the registration suspended. Mr Beekmans then proceeded to get the vehicle back on the road, when the vehicle was presented for a RWC all it needed at the time was a muffler an front shockers,  not bad for a 41 year old car?

The vehicle was then registered on the 1^st of November 2003, luckily Mr Beekmans was able to keep the original rego No HOG-898.While the vehicle was in Mr Beekmans hands, he had some minor rust repairs done to keep up the appearances of this old beauty, the areas repaired where the front guards above the head lights and the lower section of the left rear quarter panel. Other than that the vehicle still has about 80% of its original paint, not bad for a 47year old vehicle? Mr Beekmans had the vehicle for a bit over 3 years, only travelling 2,100 miles or 3,379 kms.
