  2. I think she was built or at least completed by Clive Crooks on Clovelly Road Bucklands Beach on his front lawn in the late 60’s. He was a technician at one of the hospitals making artificial limbs. I always admired her sheer and good looks. Saw her at Opua Marina for some time. She would be a fine purchase for someone.
