This is Ray Johnstone racing his Mk.4A at Calder way back in the 60s, maybe early 70s. I've heard it said that a 4A looks like a blanket thrown over four wheels. I've got a shot of "Dinky" (remember her?) which exemplifies that more and I'll show it to you in my next post.
This is a body out of the Mk.4B mould. This is the car that the late Werner Rodkin used for hillclimbs and now resides in Europe. Do you know how it got to be over there? Well, a German couple entered their exotic sports car (I forget now what it was) in the Targa Tasmania one year and when they arrived to compete found that their car was still on the high seas so they bought this little car which just happened to be on the market at the time so that they didn't waste their entry. After the Targa they decided they liked the car so much they took it home with them.Anyway, the 4A and the 4B do look different. Which do you prefer?

I'm not sure whether Werner Rodkin actually competed in any hillclimb events in the green MkIVb, Richard Windham and Paul Rossiter certainly competed in many MSCA Victorian events, during their custodianships. Note that Richard Windham made the chassis around 8 inches longer to allow 6 foot plus bodies ample room.
And a good thing too.
Hi John
did the Mk 4B in Germany get sold? Does anyone have an idea as to where it was for sale? the vid shows some other interesting cars and as i am in Germany for a few weeks would make an interesting diversion.
For A start I'd try emailing Hans Neubert, Germany's greatest Bolwell fan at mail@hans.neubert.de
I'm pretty sure he went down there and took some photos. Graham Nichols had some information on it too. He can be contacted through his website The Ikara Project, but here's a shortcut gnichols@accsoft.com.au
