The following photos are of the Dexta that has been in the family for around 50 years. It is in need of a bit of work and some tlc but does run quite well.

I will post more photos as the cleanup progresses. At the moment I am undecided as to whether to repaint or leave as is. That decision will be made after it has had a good clean.


This photo was taken around 1968 with a load of apples from the orchard



This is how it looked last week



With an old W4 which is to be restored by a nephew.

Hi Nick,

I shall look forward to watching you're progress.

I'm guessing the Dexta is about 10 years old in the 68 picture with that wonderful apple cart - she looks like she'd done plenty of work by then.

68 was my last year down under (my bingo ball came up in the Vietnam draft) - I so regret not having had the opportunity to travel around the country more.

Best of Luck
Alan
