My mother bought a 900E from a car sales yard near Sydney's Central railway circa 1958.
The NSW registration was BBE 449, it was cream with red upholstery. The car's great claim to fame was that it was Bill Buckle's press car and it featured on the cover of "Wheels" magazine in 1956/57.
Mum worked in the PR department of BMC and knew Steve Simpson who was the Editor of "Wheels". Steve visited our home in Blaxland in the Blue Mountains on a number of occasions. You can imagine my delight as a 15-16 year old car enthusiast having the editor of one of the two leading motoring magazines in Australia staying with us.
