Perth, Australia

Post by SMOKE GREY »

Maybe a bit random. Anyone on here from Perth, or maybe has friends connections there? I am trying to track down the owners son of my car. He is American by birth but has lived in Perth for several years.

Rodger ‘Rod’ Harrison is an ex racer, latterly with Porsches. Born in 1943 he is known to be still around and worked in the jewellery business. Any help or advice welcome. Cheers Steve

If you get stuck, I have a friend going out there to work next month so may be able to follow up any cues you may have?

Just a follow up really. Thanks to the folks who tried to help. I have now found him, in Perth, but now going by the name Soham Harrison, hence the difficulty in finding him. Cheers Steve

Its lucky you found him. Perth is a big city. Population wise, it's about the size of Manchester, but covers an area four times that of London, and its stretched out along the coast. Its also very remote. From where I live, its about as far as the UK is from Moscow.
