Car 242 – “The Richies” (2019)

Theme: The Richies

Car: 1969 Ford XW Wagon

Crew: Ashey Harris, Daniel Simpson, James Cleggett

Bio: My name is Ashley Harris and I own and operate a mechanical business called Charleston Garage. Having a keen interest in the motor industry and a passion for classic and historic cars, I decided to look at buying a car and do the Variety Bash.

Looking to support a charity that makes a big difference to children with special needs seemed a great way to have fun with my mates and get involved with the Variety family. After looking for a station wagon that had a Variety Bash history, I located and purchased a Falcon XW Wagon. The car was originally owned by Peter Cochrane. My two good mates Daniel and James didn’t take much convincing after talking to them about it.

We decided to participate with the theme of ‘The Richies’ in tribute to the Late Richie Benaud.

We are very excited to be taking part in the 2019 Variety Bash.
