  :) A batch of six were indeed sold new in New Zealand in 1961, and at least three of them still exist out there. Graham Palmer's car currently on eBay is one of that six, whilst another was used in an early 1990s NZ pop group video by a group called "Stark Raven". The third car was listed in an auction in about 1995 but has not yet resurfaced. Meanwhile, the Southward Museum Trust has a later, privately imported 1968 Delta on display, making four Delta's at least still existing in New Zealand & Australia.

I like the car, but the John Deere colour scheme and pin striping all seem a bit OTT, surprised it hasn't got tuck n roll upholstery.
