Those Mk 7s were great cars; leather upholstery and walnut dash, and my father owned one for a few years in CHCH around 1968, the car which I drove in my teen years on Friday and Saturday nights. They commonly sold for only a few hundred dollars in the mid to late 1960s and there were many in daily use.

Nice to see Health and Safety was rife then. Looks like a wooden extension ladder up the outside of the clock

Paterson Michel on the corner along from Tennants. My father, Fred Sweney, was the accountant till the firm went into liquidation. The Bank of NSW was in between and next to Tennants; I worked there for a year in 1961 after leaving school.
