Yes, that car belonged to Bill Mumford (correct spelling). He just passed away earlier this month aged around 88. Bill and Helen Mumford came to Otira in 1956 and didn't leave until 1971. That was well above average!

Stephen Wright Thanks for confirming it. Do you have a map of the houses, showing their numbers. Thought I had a copy but can not find it.
