Richards bodied Standard Flying 12 Saloon

Rod Drummond has sent me these photographs of Errol Huett's 1937/38 Flying 12 Saloon in Waihi, New Zealand. The front and rear shots were taken in 1978 or 9 and the one of the car in the garage is taken this year, so it is still in the same ownership. Alongside the car in the garage you can see a white/fawn Flying 12, this is Errol's parts car. Not shown here is a third Flying 12  in maroon, this one has done only 38,000 miles from new. Perhaps if Errol sees this feature, he will send me a good photo of it  - sorry Rod, yours is half covered with a tarpaulin!

The lack of Sunroof in this model implies it is an Adelaide, Australian built body by TJ Richards. These appear to have been built from knocked down kits but with some local content - can anyone tell us which parts were locally supplied?
