A Landrover on Parliament Steps/An Award-Winning
Heart Researcher/John & Anne Burton Heart Research
Award
Join us for what will be a great address by
Professor Julian Paton
Julian Paton was the unwitting accomplice when David Seymour drove a vintage Land Rover up
Parliament’s steps. When Julian first moved to New Zealand about eight years ago, he had a
default response when asked about why he was shifting across the world:
“I'm after George the Sixth’s Land Rover.”
George VI - Queen Elizabeth's father - was due to visit New Zealand in about 1950 but never made
the journey.
“But what they did ahead of his visit was to ship his Land Rover, which is the 101st Land Rover ever
made.” It never got returned to England. Julian now owns it.
