The JNBC Memorial Tour of Victoria is dedicated to the memory of Julian Collins, Alvis Owner Club (AOC) member from 1964, and editor of the AOC Bulletin from January 1997 to his untimely passing in August 2006 at age 60.
Julian's father purchased an Alvis Firefly in 1942, so Julian's first Alvis ride was no doubt pre-natal.
Julian signed his first AOC Bulletin editorial Julian Collins, and forever after simply J.N.B.C.
Julian loved visiting Victoria, Australia, and it seemed appropriate to arrange a tour of which he would have immensely approved.
The photo shows 6 of the 14 U.K. based Alvis about to board the Hoegh Transporter which sailed from Southampton for Melbourne, Australia at 17:00, August 14.
