Ford Falcons - "L'Oreal of Paris" - Geoff's company vehicles

1973 - The white Ford Falcon Geoff had - which was used as a wedding car for Rodney and Sue's wedding - pictures also show Tony with Geoff and Sharon - two photos

1974 - As an Account Executive for L'Oreal of Paris, Geoff was supplied a new vehicle every two years - this is the yellow Ford Falcon used in 1974 - and Sharon as well!!!

1980 - This photo was taken at our home in Brisbane - Geoff had been promoted to Sales Manager, and this is the Ford Fairmont that he was supplied - and was in place of the standard Falcons that company representatives were given

Sharon's car - Morris Major Sedan

This was the first car that Sharon had after we were married - and unfortunately, this is the only photo we have of it - Geoff's Dad was a mechanic, and he had rebuilt the car's engine, transmission, brakes, etc and it was a terrific and solid vehicle - this photo was taken during 1976

Sharon's car - 1963 EJ Holden Sedan

Sharon, with the 1963 EJ Holden she got for a Christmas present in 1979 ..........it was a fantastic "old" car!!!

1971 Hillman Hunter Sedan

A really good car!!! - this photo of Sharon and the car was taken in March 1983 - at the Rex Lookout on Captain Cook Highway, north of Cairns

And here it is again - considering it was twelve years old, it was in very good condition - November 1983

"An old" Ford Transit Van

Sharon and I established a lawnmowing and landscaping business, and we needed something to carry around all our equipment in - this was all we could afford!!! - looks a bit beat up, but it went very well and pulled the trailer nicely!!! - February 1986 ..........it didn't have any seats in the back, so we bought a couple of old, big lounge chairs and bolted them to the cabin floor - and this is where the kids used to sit!!! - very much like Granny in "The Beverley Hillbillies"!!! ..........and a final note - the business we established was named "BRETANYA"!!!

1972 Mazda 1300 Sedan

This car was buggerred!!! - engine used to burn gallons of oil!!! - with some financial help from Sharon's parents, it was completely rebuilt - new engine, new seats, new tyres, etc - and it was great!!! - photo taken in November 1986

ACCIDENT!!! - an eight year old Brett and I were coming home from baseball training one night - and I lost control!!! - and this was the result!!! - after having it completely rebuilt, the car was now a write off - two photos - May 1987 ..........needless to say, but Sharon did a lot of yelling, screaming and crying!!!

What a fantastic car!!! - a 6 cylinder, 250 motor - heaps of power!!! - taken in August 1987
