Dear Brian, My name is Mrs Marita Murphy.
I contact you on behalf of our small local primary school in Miners Rest, Victoria. As we try to find any link to descendant of Joseph Jenkins. Thanks, kind regards Marita.

Dear Brian,
You took a photo of a 1925 Flint some time ago. Are you the owner?? My Late Father bought a 1925 Flint in Adelaide many years ago & it would be interesting to know if in fact, it is the same car restored.
We came to Aus in 1951 from Bath on board the New Australia.
Hope you can shed some light on the whereabouts of the Old girl.
Regards,
Michael P
