Some of the syndicate members have now dropped out. Was it in the old Remington ad where that bloke liked the company so much that he bought it? Well, Carl bought this company. They are now finishing off a D-Type.

Cs and Ds
A consortium of enthusiasts in the Barossa, including Carl Lindner and Doug Lehmann, got together to buy one of those C-Type replicas in New Zealand. The car was brought back to Australia to be finished off and it's turned out really well. Have a look at the Colingrove Hillclimb site, there's some great pics of it from when they took it there. Here's a few more from our visit to (I almost said to the House of Lindner, but that's a fodder store) Tanunda.
This is not the C-Type bonnet propped up somewhere, it's actually on the car. With all those curves, it's great for taking multiple photos of yourself.

This great big filler cap is for the oil tank for the dry sump system.
The plan at the moment is not for making these fantastic replicas for sale but to make them available as part of a package where you can drive them around The Valley as the Ultimate Barossa Experience. So start saving now.

Just love 'em!
Had a chuckle at the idea of "replica" when both have alternators and at least the C Type has very modern fuel injection.
OK, so they are really "look like" but who cares with something this beautiful.
It did start off with triple Webers but you know what the rego mob are like. They're asking for catalytic converters and head rests etc. It's going down for its inspection today (via Kersbrook and the Gorge Road I might add) so fingers crossed.
