Upper Middle Petrol Head:

The Galant parked outside the unassuming-looking The Wharf, home of some of Tasmania's best seafood. Don't be fooled by the unassuming facade of Bicheno's The Wharf fish and chippery ( https://www.tascoastalseafoods.com/ ) on Tasmania's east coast, approximately two and a half hours' drive from the island state's capital city, Hobart.   Located in The Gulch, a narrow stretch of water protected from the Tasman Sea by Governor Island, The Wharf is one of those magically evolved places that has grown from local business Tasmanian Coastal Seafoods and has taken on an atmosphere that a hundred hipsters, intent on designing the very best of authentic experiences, could not possibly hope to conjure up.      Take-aways at the front; dining to the rear.

They're both located at New Norfolk, about 35 minutes' drive from Hobart, the capital city of Australia's island state of Tasmania.     UMPH has no financial or other interest at all in their sale ; he is simply a classic car nutter who would rather see these two unusual cars salvaged or at least know their parts were being put to good use, instead of them just rotting into the ground.   If you require further details of the cars' locatio...
