No Barry hasn't given up on Mark 7s. He has 2 others, including the ex-Matt Pintar racer.

One of the first things I noticed was the Road Rebel wheels. They look pretty nice on this car. I haven't seen any of these for ages. They were one of Bernie Pfitzner's products and a darn good wheel. I remember the photo shoot for the wheels well.
Bernie turned up from the bush (I think he was from the Riverland) in the Brookfield days with a stinkin' hot early Holden that showed all of us city slickers a fine view of his tail lights. The car was innovative in a crude sort of way and Bernie soon developed a reputation for engineering inventiveness that culminated in the race car business, Develco, which he formed with Simon Aram, and Finchy as well. Bernie's not around any more and neither is Develco but the tradition lives on with has son, Simon, and his business, PPG which builds race car gearboxes.
