As if not enough to move his entire life and large young family as far away from home in the UK as was humanly possible - Eddie Clark decided that his V12 Roadster was going to have to go too.

Having arrived in New Zealand some months after the family, the E-Type had to then past the strict quarantine testing implicated to ensure that no alien disease was being inadvertantly imported by hidden bugs or mud. The WOF test of roadworthiness was the next hurdle and then Eddie could finally fit his fabulous new number plate and start to explore his beautiful new home countryside in true style.

After casually attending New Zealands biggest classic car gathering in Christchurch Eddie even managed to walk away with an award for 'Best Engine Bay 2009'!

The family are now settled and enjoying life. They have already had loads of fun including gliding, jet boating, luging and quad biking and it is great to have heard from them and seen some photographs.
