History
 
1961 Col K.J. Pearce purchased ‘Carefree Too’ for £2,650.00 in April 1961 from W.Bates and Son and registered it in the name of “Lesley Mary’
I think this was the ‘Sports Model’ according to the Star Craft ‘Twenty Five’ brochure.
‘Carefree Too’ replaced another ‘Star Craft’ which Col. K.J. Pearce owned with the name of ‘Lesley Mary’. This was purchased from W.Bates & Son 22nd September 1954 but which was the property of Mr. J. Law and who used the name of ‘Lesley Mary’. I think this was a ‘Cruising Model’ according to the same brochure.
1992 Col K.J. Pearce sold ‘ Lesley Mary’ to Mr. R.E.Furguson of Hurley on 9th April 1992
