Chapter 6 103HC p.323. Discovered ca 2007 and found to be a mid 1930s Martin & King limousine in the same style as the City Service Taxis. Likely, therefore, to have been the Palfreyman syndicate’s import; see page 298 of Sunburnt Country for early photo reg’d VIC-93-074; in S.A. 2007 reg’d SA-RR-1925. 119LC p.323. Delete reference to taxi noted in The Home, 1933 – this was 103HC seen on p.298; 119LC now with Sam Jaquet, N.S.W. 123LC p.323. First owner after arrival in Australia was A. K. Miller, said to be a tourer and then bodied as the Martin & King saloon. Later to Miller’s daughter Mrs. Alma Marr (not Mair), Vaucluse, N.S.W., who was chauffeured in it until the early 1950s. (Mrs. Marr also had a Silver Ghost chassis out in the open next to her house but it was removed by the local council and scrapped, 1960s!); sold to Tom Broadbent, ca 1968. 25DC p.324. Add new owner ‘Ron McKenzie, Diamond Creek, Vic., at 1998. Engine LO15 ex 29EF acquired for the chassis; auctioned 2001; John McKeddie, Queenscliff, Vic.’. The Martin & King fixed head coupe body was offered sepa-rately in 2006 and showed signs of conversion into a utility. The original bonnet had been used for the 1930s body. To be used on 25LF. 121YC p.325. This was sold to Jack Compton, the London dealer, in May 1933 for £200 by Jack Barclay. Compton was thus a likely source for the Australian syndicate. Owned by J. Graeme Simpson 1963-2004, sold to Austria. 97NC p.325. It is thought the Miss B. Fairbairn listed as first Australian owner was actually, as Mrs. Bettine Grey-Smith of South Yarra, the second owner. She was probably the daughter-in-law of Rose Grey-Smith who first reg’d the car on 24 Oct. 1932. It was offered for war work, reg’d to D. H. Macintyre, RAAF, Canberra, 8 Jan. 1940 and George L. Fuller, Sydney, 20 Jan. 1940; relicensed to Bettine Grey- Smith, 27 Feb. 1945; Ronald J. How, South Broken Hill and then Harold Britain, East Prahran and then Robert A. Watts, Sandringham, all on 1 Mar. 1945 unreg’d; Clive A. Walker, Mitcham, 16 Sept. 1946 reg’d (i.e. second body now fitted probably; Cheney Used Car House, Melb., 4 Feb. 1947; Swanston Used Cars, 4 Feb. 1947; John S. Barton, East St. Kilda, 14 Feb. 1947; Swanston Used Cars, 28 Feb. 1947; Keith Boundy, Dandenong, 7 Mar. 1947; Reeman Motors, Hawthorn, Feb. 1955.

Late Arrivals in Australia This advertisement for Pioneer Coaches featured a Rolls-Royce close in appearance to 82LF. (Walkabout 1 Nov. 1934 p.48) Supplement March 2010 - Rolls-Royce and Bentley in the Sunburnt Country Chapter 6 9LF p.327. Reg’d YT-7855 in the U.K., it was sold by Jack Barclay to George Brand in the U.K. in 1933 which could be a link to its arrival in Australia. Rebodied as a Martin & King limousine ca 1934 (see Praeclarum p.4185), same style as 60RF, 67RF, 71FH and thus possibly a City Service Taxi, Melbourne; Roy Wheeler, Lismore, N.S.W., 1950s reg’d NSW-WG-114?; sold to circus owner, Newcastle; the engine is currently with 61EH. 25LF p.190. To be fitted with second body from 25DC. 82LF p.327. An advertisement by the Pioneer Tourist Bureau in Walkabout 1 Nov. 1934 p.48 illustrates this car. This therefore explains the Pioneer coachplates on the car. Page 328: after ‘F. P. Shine’ add ‘John Rhodin (dealer), Sydney, 1980s reg’d NSW-LRK-576 (Praeclarum Aug. 1983 p.874 as 1926 62LF [sic], wrongly claimed to be Smith & Waddington); via dealer to Bill Hurd, Sydney, 1983; Frank Severino, Sydney, 1980s’. 22RF p.328.
