Here's a bit of history. This is Colin in about 1973 after he had bought the car from Sandra and Ian Duncan. They had acquired it from Mid City Motor Auctions, the prevoius owner being Denise Marcos. The Duncans were AHOC people but I recall them having a little racing S800 or was it an S600? These are the chrome wheels he was talking about.
These next two photos are of the car at Dawson Street, Fullarton.
Our stables were just over the fence, behind the Valiant.
Colin sold the car to Peter Mac who clocked up lots of miles in it, including circuit sprints at AIR. He sold it to Bobbie Taylor who was responsible for the custom job ( rear spoiler, Hillman vertical tail-lights, Nagari nose etc.)
No. it doesn't have the same number as Roger's other V8 Mark 7. The decimal point is in a different place.

the Duncan Honda was an S800 and was a great looking little beast
ReplyDeleteThat bonnet bulge on the custom job is the NSW one. I remember taking a mould of it years ago and finding that the front part pointed off to the left a bit (or was it the right?) That's OK, kinda goes with the lack of symmetry in Mark 7s.
