Pete's Mark 7 number 3.

This is looking serious. Look at this big V8 ready to go in.
I don't know how he finds the time as the ice cream factory must take a bit of managing.
Actually Pete owned this very car in a past life in the seventies. So maybe it should be Mark 7 number 1. These days there are a number of V8 Mk.7s but this one is one of the few that actually started life as a V8. It was a sister car to Bill Griffiths', Bill being the instigator of the Victorian Bolwell Club. Here it is when Pete took it over to Calder for a TSOA 6-hour.
Other 7s in the picture are (A) the white one on the trailer John Szabo's, (B) the deep yellow one was Frank Rushton's (both these cars were destroyed in a devastating Victorian bushfire) and (C) the lighter yellow one is the ex-Doug Seath machine. Here it is being advertised for sale recently.
