1965 Bonneville Coming to Sydney

I've just moved to Sydney from Washington, DC and my '65 Bonneville is coming with me. Actually it's already here, just waiting to clear customs (and waiting, and waiting). Can anyone recommend a good mechanic in the area who knows his way around a restored, but very original '65 Bonneville? Still has 6 volt electrical system and points, no replacement electronic ignition. I could also a good recommendation for someone who can do a blue slip inspection on something that old and, I suppose, an insurance company that's good for classics. Thanks for any help.

Stuart

Stuart.

For insurance, you may wish to try Shannons on 13 4646. They specialise in classic motorcycles and cars.

Cheers
