I don’t know what happened to the Malvern Star but to the best of my knowledge it was dumped as soon as possible and hardly ever talked about, no photos of it survived but I have recollections of many road-side repairs until my sister learned the art of cleaning the spark plug herself. But it certainly was responsible for a very happy ending to this story.
