Jo and Phil purchased their Special wagon in December 92 from the original owners, Mr & Mrs Les Jessett. The new vehicle was delivered by City Motors in Murray Street, Perth on 12 September 1963. The price including registration for 12 months, all accessories and 8 gallons of petrol was £1381 14s 9p ($2763).

Les Jessett was over 80 years of age and due to poor health and failing eye sight, the time had come to hand in his driving license which he had held for over 60 years. Of course this also lead to the Jessetts parting with their beloved EH wagon. It was a sad day when Jo & Phil arrived to take possession. Les was in tears but Phil promised that the vehicle was going to an EH enthusiast and would be properly looked after as it had been for the previous 29 years. On the day prior to delivery Les Jessett had the EH serviced (grease and oil change, new filters, plugs, points and motor tuned). And yes the tank was full of fuel!

In the glove box was the original Log Book which had been kept up to date with all running and repair costs together with original purchase Invoice and registration papers

After 8 years of enjoyable motoring the time has come for Phil to take his wagon of the road for a comprehensive bare metal respray. Phil has commenced dismantling prior to sending the wagon to the shop. So far only some minor surface rust has been found and it is hoped that this is the eventual outcome for this part of the project Phil will keep us informed of developments in later Newsletters.
