This late 1926 15/30 has been restored to a conservation level by Harold Newton in Victoria, Australia. Harold acquired the car at auction in 2004.

According to the notes provided by the auction house the car had been with the previous Melbourne owner for many years and he had even used it for his wedding and honeymoon in 1959. It had been laid up for some 45 years indicating a last use in the 1960s. After buying the car Harold was told that the family had a considerable quantity of spares and this turned out to be true and a trailer load was acquired from a complete Aladdin's cave of vintage spares. Pressure of time and work on other vehicles delayed starting work on the car.

In order to get the car on the road Harold had to refurbish the brakes and front suspension which also involved replacing a considerably bent front axle, rewire the car to remove any possibility of a short in the perished original wiring and give it a general tidying up and de-greasing. The vehicle is now on a Red plate permit scheme that allows it to be used with a daily log book for 45 days each year which is proving sufficient.

Harold reports that the Crossley always attracts a lot of attention when displayed and he usually return home with a croaky throat from answering multiple question about the vehicle and its history.

Chassis number is 29884 and the engine 29846.  The coachwork looks like it was made by Crossley.
