Well that solves that question. Now you know it's ancestry, I'd be getting back on to the dealer and finding out all you can about Shamrock cars and about your car in particular. They may even have tucked away somewhere a sales brochure and engineering details of the brand.

Secondly, unless you're mechanically profficient, get the car thoroughly checked by someone you trust.

Thirdly congratulate yourself that you live in Tassie where you have registration authorities who apparently have a more relaxed and common sense approach to re-registering cars such as ours.

Finally, enjoy the heck out of it, and well done on your purchase !
