Tracking the history of a classic car can be as intriguing as a family tree, but unlike personal documents and registries, classic cars often quietly change hands and slip into storage and oblivion before being found many years later. During this time documents and papers can be lost, parts removed or damaged, and memories fade about the card's original purchase history. Fraser Strain encountered this dilemna when he purchased his 1968 Country Buggy, although, in defence of all who had gone before, Country Buggies by their very nature were never marketed to book keepers or car enthusiasts. These were sold as tough, unbreakable workhorses, leading hard lives as farm vehicles, tradie trucks and outback transport. As such, the glovebox was no place to keep sales receipts or logbooks.
