England to New Zealand in a 1954 Morris Oxford

On the 5th May 2004, we, Tim Nicholson and Joanne Bowlt, set off from Oxford, England, to drive to Oxford, New Zealand, in a fifty year old Morris Oxford.
Our 1954 classic British car, called Florence, has steered clear of camels in the deserts of North Africa, avoided Elephants and holy cows on the monsoon potholed roads of India, survived Singapore super-efficiency and dodged Australian kamikaze Kangaroos and erratic Emus on route to New Zealand.
After nine sea crossings and 17,000 miles of driving we arrived in Oxford, New Zealand, on 13th February 2005.
