But one car stood out among the well-polished exteriors and sleek interiors: a bullet hole-ridden and rusted 1956 Hillman Husky with surfboards on the roof, owned and “re-built” by Dave Hoskins.

“I found it up the hills,” Mr Hoskins said.

“There’s nothing left on it, being shot up by shooters over the years.

“I brought it down and built it during COVID when we got locked down.”

Mr Hoskins found the Husky on a hill around Locksley and decided to “rescue” it after it had been left on the property in the 1960s and used for target practice.

Bullet holes from the years of target practice are still evident in the car.

Mr Hoskins said they gave the car character.

“If you’ve noticed, there’s nothing painted on the whole car,” he said.

“It’s all just rusty original, and I just clear-coated the outside.”

The inside of the car’s roof is covered in a collage of pictures.

“They’re all surfing photos,” he said.

“If you look at all stickers on the car, they’re most of the beach ones from Victoria, NSW and Queensland.

“I pretty much try to get all the Australian stickers to go on the car.”

Of course, it wouldn’t be beach-themed without a hula girl on the dash.

“That’s a must!” Mr Hoskins said.

The roof collage features two Kiss tickets for a concert from the late 1980s that he and his wife went to.
