There's no such thing as a 'cheap Mercedes'!

Lockridge had such a bad name that they changed it about 10 years ago.

I wonder how much it sold for in the end ? Interesting to see the later model hubcaps, but more importantly is the two tone colour combination. Am I seeing correctly, or is it just the position of the car in the photo ? If it is two tone, they have opted to have the second colour below the door moulds. That's too easy and lacks imagination - at least I think so. Regards Styria

Hi Bill, what's wrong with Lockridge, and what did they change it to ? Regards Styria

Lockridge was a poorer area of Perth with a lot of Homeswest Houses and the suburb was adjacent to a large Aboriginal Reserve on which was a very notorious camp led by a guy called Bropho (?Charles Bropho) .

Bropho was jailed for multiple episodes of sexual abuse and the camp disbanded about 10 years ago.

I think the Suburb was renamed Benara for about 10 years but I see it has reverted to it's previous name of Lockridge.
