IT’S MINE

- – GT

PETER EDWARDS grew up around his Espada as his grandfathe­r bought it new! “There’s a picture of me standing in the back seat wearing a nappy!” he chuckles. “I can remember going for ice-creams with five of us in the back!” Ownership has been surprising­ly troublefre­e. “There’s been nothing serious go wrong with it – I redid the paint and a few other things. But something of the same age, like an HQ Holden, will require similar work.

“It’s a strong car and it pulls well. It’s actually very practical. When it was new, this was sharing the highways with EH Holdens. It was like a spaceship.”
