Bum steer.

 The excitement of learning of a full set of Ikara moulds in Western Victoria was heightened as the information was provided by an Ikara owner in the area. It all came crashing down when investigations revealed that they were Eureka moulds. So, I must apologise to Linley for momentarily doubting the Athens wharf story.

However, I wonder if this throws some light on Allan Purvis' mystery of whatever happened to the "Free Spirit" prototype.

So for the uninitiated, like me, what is the “Athens wharf story”?

The Ikara jigs and moulds were apparently sold to someone in Greece but they were never collected from the wharf.

Apparently, Mr. Purvis is still very much interested in those molds. As luck would have it, he and an associate of his dropped into the Aussie Independent Car Community on Facebook. If you ascertained the location of those Eureka molds, they are interested in knowing that.

Anyway, keep up the fine work. Cheers!
