In todays world its rare to come across a set of records like this, the original 1955 invoices for the build & fit out of Zach Matich’s Kaipara based launch Margurita. I’m sure it was a lot of money back then but looking back now the prices, particularly the fittings, seem less than what you would pay in a model shop today. Fascinating reading, thanks Zach for sharing these & the launch day photos.
