Track Days/Motorsport

One of Aussies most famous 'specials'.

 

Hey Dan what was the green car with the weird front end ?

 

I couldn’t tell you off hand Adrian. I have seen and taken pictures of it in the past, but I can’t remember. It is impressive in the flesh.

Found this on YouTube, produced by the AbboC in 1971; "Money and Motor Racing". It has some wonderful competition footage from the ATCC as well as a hilarious interview with Mike Gore:

 

Conman owned Ferrari cars .

 

That was sensational!

 

"CAMS is the servant of its members". Those days are long gone.

They were never here.

 

years ago the son approached us for property development funds, I said a firm NO and hung up.

 

And this dickhead wants to give property developers a tax break

 

The son of the first private owner of my March contacted me a couple of weeks ago after cleaning out his Dad's shed and finding a lot of original parts for the car. I don't "need" any of it but I can't say no and we've agreed a fair price. He's located near Pocono Raceway in Pennsylvania.

Included are all the speedway aero bits, including the winglets that mount ahead of the rear wheels.

Also a pair of ultra-rare factory rear wheels which would give me a complete 3rd set. After a bit of a hunt I found a place to x-ray them in Allentown, so fingers crossed they'll be serviceable. I'm thinking of having them polished then a clear coat, for the period look.
