	annoyingly thats the wrong type of rear spoiler - I need the other type for my TA. The other thing is I know if I were single thats how my garden would look. Some sad sights. That razor edge C body Chrysler for example.

	yes it is. Combo of Dart style grill with no signal/side lights in and the lights in the bumper suggest so. The shield badge on the bumper IIRC that's an Aussie feature too. The almost exact same car was sold RHD here as a Plymouth Valiant but the grill is noticeably different.

	What surprise me most about that yard is that it's not in East Anglia. I went with a mate on a tour of Norfolk one weekend in the late 80s and visited loads of yards with tons of old Britiahs and Yank tin gradually being absorbed by mother nature. A sad sight but also a strangely beautiful one.
