In a previous post I had mentioned that the Denise Marcos car and the Bill Griffiths car had similar tail treatments. This was based on Denise mentioning to me when she arrived in Adelaide in 1972 with a somewhat unusual Mark 7 that it was built in conjunction with another one and that was Bill's. Well Bill's was standard bodied and I apologise for that mistake. (Not even Austin A90 tail-lights). It remained standard bodied until sold to Ron McPherson who stretched it a bit in order to get a back seat into it (he had kids).Tuesday, January 20, 2009
Correction
Here is a clip from Auto Action dated 12th July 1974. The photo shows Bill Griffith competing in a MSCA hillclimb at Morwell.

There still must be another Mk 7 with the same Kamm rear end style as the V8 Mk 7 RYT 273 as brought to SA by Denise Marcos as I saw such a beast in metallic gold in Springvale road. Was some 15 years ago and the SA car was already a wreck sitting in a wrecking yard having lost its argument with a tree.
There was a sister car. I just picked the wrong one.
