60s

1966-67 Tiny’s Kombi van and Morris Minor Ute

Timon ‘Tiny’ McKay is the son of a preacher man. Tiny hung around with the City Beach crew in mid-60s to early-70s.

Tiny is a big bloke with a love of automobiles, parties and a drop of good wine. In the mid-60s he drove a VW Kombi van and a Morris Minor Ute.

Tiny would sleep in his Kombi overnight at the beach, hence the pajamas.
