T Creighton Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I am a 73 year old retired farmer living between Tauranga and Katikati in the North Island of New Zealand. I am married with a grown up family and 9 grand children. Before going farming I was a partner in a rural transport business running mostly Mercedes Benz trucks. My earlier interests were in light aircraft, (co owner of a Piper Cub) but now I help keep a 1926 Wurlitzer opus 1482 Style H 2/10 theatre organ in good enough order for overseas artists to perform on. It is installed in our local theatre. I have recently finished a 5 year ground up rebuilding project of a 1942 CMP Ford F30 Cab 13 truck. It is now time to make a start on the Morris Commercial C8 2pr Portee that I have had sitting around in bits for a couple of years. I have very little information or details on it so I hope other members of this forum can provide something as I go along. I will certainly try to put as much back as I can. I see pictures are appreciated so here are two. Regards to all. Terry Creighton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nz2 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Good to see another colonial joining. I'm down the far end of the Bay, about 2 3/4 hours away. Can't help much with the Morris as its too younger vehicle for us. Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
