Australian Austin barnfind

Ross Nerdal from Canberra (Australia) writes: "The capital of Australia is Canberra, being only one hundred years old it is not renowned for its barns but there are some to be found. Jack Palmer bought a 1927 Austin 12hp tourer in 1965. He was going to restore it. It was low mileage and running well. Into the shed it went and stayed. 50 years later it has been sold to me and we dragged it out for a second life. It needed four spare wheels and a lot of manpower to extract it from its tomb, it was surrounded by decades of collecting. Thick with dust and spider webs and rat nests, it is a time capsule of its own beauty. It is totally complete and solid and all original. We can still read the last rego number, N34-975. Recognize or know anything of its history? Now what should be its future.. oily rag recommissioning, or full restoration. What do pre-war readers think?"
