Gaven State School have requested an older style vehicle to display so the students could walk around it and study the differences between older technology and what is being produced these days. David Mitchell stepped to the fore with his 1950 Vauxhall Velox Tourer.

Teacher Victoria Robinson had organised David to drive the Vauxhall onto the school oval for the pupils (mainly Grade 2 children). He was expecting 30 children but was quite surprised to find that there was about 100 children present with some of them & the teachers dressed in period costume.

Many photos were taken with pupils and teachers around the car (as seen below). It was a great morning enjoyed by all and the children appreciated having the old car there.
