This was restored by Jurien Bay Panel & Paint as a tribute to Belinda's father Ron Trembath in 2016 after owning the troopy for more than 10 years and travelling Australia many times over. After his death in 2014,

We had the vehicle sent over from Kiama NSW to Perth WA by car carrier and then driven up to Jurien Bay WA to be restored.

The canvas pop top was taken off and taken away by Coastal Trimming in Jurien Bay to be completely designed and remade. With a new mattress and the front car seats were also re-upholstered.
