Isn't he the happiest Grandpa or what?!... ;) Regrettably I've forgotten where I got this photo, I can say that it was taken in Australia; it is the Australian Hillman Arrow.

Black Sheep

This is Harry's 1975 Hillman Hunter in New Zealand. Harry gave me this write up: "It has an engine transplant with an early 80s Toyota 1S, with its 4 speed gearbox. No mods to firewall or tunnel just gearbox cross-member, other than that fits like a glove!! It will up the steepest hill with four men in fourth gear doing 90kmh all the way, its a tractor!!!! Its no race car but you just cant help but fall in love with it, owned it for 3 years, and this is my sixth Hunter and my favorite so far. It has the standard rear axle, rides like a dream !!"

Thanks Harry for the photos! Toyota should learn a thing or two from Rootes shouldn't they? ;)
