Default Does anyone know of John Derrin Automotive
Does anyone know John Derrin in Melbourne. He used to run the great looking phase 1 and 2 in the Dutton Ralley. He also ran an automotive shop in Melbourne somewhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

He was a wealth of knowledge and he assisted me in restoring my XY falcon years ago. He was one person that was always able to answer my questions and send me in the right direction. When did he pass away? Very sorry to hear a man of this caliber has passed on. Great ford man.
