We were lent a 1928 Oakland sedan in very original condition with only 70,000 miles on the clock. The Oakland behaved itself reasonable well on some challenging hills and dirt roads around Dunedin, not to mention a few laps around the race circuit at Timaru. We shared the car and the driving with another couple, John and Marg Cox, also from Melbourne.
