GF30 p.316. Change ‘Murrundi’ to ‘Murrurundi’.
GDK2 p.317. Before ‘rebodied’ add ‘shipped to Australia
by Jack Compton Ltd., London, 4 Aug. 1934, to George
F. Harris, Fairfield, Vic. Rebodied as Supreme saloon,
£228.18.0 on 21 Dec 1934. 200,000 miles from 1934-53;
sold by Harris to Wheeler 7 Dec 1953 £125 as blue/black
sedan; reg’d VIC-193-155 15 Dec 1953 (see also GF3);’ before
‘George N. Edwards’ add ‘Mrs. H. H. Wheeler, 1953-
66, 80,000 miles.’ It is thought that the body, radiator, and
registration number were moved by Wheeler to GF3 after
1957. In turn, the Kellow-Falkiner derived utility body from
GF3 was moved to GDK2. This body could actually have
been made by Waring.

4-light style as on GPK52 and others.
