These are a selection of a great collection of cars of Chris Leigh who very kindly allowed the local EFV8 Club of Christchurch to visit. These a just of a selection of maybe 200 cars.
Hope you enjoy. As all like pics.

Phil , did you see my Dads 48 pickup with the P&T back on it ? Chris purchased it from my dad some years ago . Would have "Price's Farm Machinery Services" on the door.
Thanks for the pics Phil.

Lots of nice old Fords, it looks like thier covered in dust, is there no one there to take care of them?
Love the Lincoln convertible! A fellow here in North Pole has one of those.

It's a shame! A SHAME, I tell you! - All of those beautiful cars with their steering wheels on the wrong side! ;)

Some of these cars especially a lot of the 50's and 60's ones are ex USA.
And a few early onnes ex USA and some right hand conversions have been carried out.
Heres a few more pics. Did not take some many pics of 50's and 60's cars etc of which there were plenty.
Enjoy

Would have been about 200 vehicles give or take.
This is just a selection of those that i photographed.
We were so fortunate to be able to view this collection which has been set out in age periods as well as a good selection of Mercurys and a large number of Edsels.
Other club members who attended maybe will share their pics as well.

Very nice collection. Thank you for sharing. It's good to see these cars and parts have survived. This collection would make a great article for the V-8 Times.

Guys where is the building located in Christchurch ? I don't recognize it & it has to be very large . I have never seen the collection but have talked to Chis briefly trying to get to see dads pickup again but never was able to make it happen.
Thanks to all for sharing !!!!!!
