The model as owned by Bob Hawke at the age of 18 when he was a student at the University of Western Australia. Bob had a near fatal accident whilst riding through King’s Park, which he later credited as a turning point in his life, providing the motivation to live life to the fullest, and ultimately follow a political career.
