The man.

The man behind the very successful car display in Rundle Street  East last weekend.

The onlyBCCA-SA member represented on the day (I think)was John and his Plymouth roadster.

This is a precursor to the Bay to Birdwood next weekend. Which reminds me - I could do with a couple more people to help with the finishing plaque distribution at Birdwood on Sunday. Call me if you can help.

Like the new helmet?

Back on the market again.

At you know where.

For $89,500.

Bar mirrors.

Remember these?

The SA club still have some and I reckon they'll let them go for $65 each. Let me know if you are interested.

But what car is it?
Duane, you can't compete for this prize seeing you took the photo.

Last week's MSCA sprint.

Our turn for flag duty and an excellent turn-up from BCCA and AHOC members meant we had more than enough to do the job. Here's a few on station 2.

A few Bollies there on the day too.

Thanks Paul Bradley for the photos. Mine are still in my phone.

2-door Holden coupes and convertibles.

In the 50s and 60s (pre Monaro) making 2-door Holdens was quite a sport. There must have been dozens of them around the country.

And then along came the Efijy.

Since then someone in Queensland is producing "replica" kits.

Barry and Chris came across this completed one in their travels.

I think they're quite a nice unit.

Can't get enough Efijy.

Another Italia surfaces.

A few months ago Ian Webber in Queensland bought this car via Gumtree from a vendor who had no idea what it was. Ian didn't either, just knowing it was old and rare. Lots of research via Bollyblog and other sources revealed it to be a JWF Italia.

Rubbing part of the cowl back revealed many colours including green and Ian thought it may have been the green one in SA - not the case as the bodywork on that one was considerately modified and it's still alive and well over here.

As you can see, the car is in poor condition and actually has some damage on the front panel steelwork that fibreglassed to the under-bonnet area. Ian certainly has some work ahead of him. It has a Singer chassis (underslung) and an early Holden diff.

The Singer chassis must have been ideal as they are commonly found under Italias, Milanos, Buchanans and other Aussie specials. It must have significantly reduced the number of Singers around. There is no engine or gearbox but the engine mounts look like grey Holden ones turned sideways. The door handles appear to be FC Holden, and the front end seems to be Singer. It has a plywood floor with rubber underneath it where it mounted to the chassis. Fortunately, most of the other panels are with the car (just not in the pictures). Ian hasn't found any chassis numbers and has no history regarding registration. He would love to hear from any Italia owners or anyone else who has any info on them (icw.63@live.com). The windscreen is missing, he has read that it was a Morris Marshall screen. He also wants to know what the quarter glass was from. Some Italias had vents in the mudguards which rumour has it were Wolseley 24/80 front vents from either side of the grille. Ian has so many questions. Please help.

Grey stuff - 25

Making good progress.

Goodonya Greg.

With the hot stroked V8 almost ready, this is going to be a rocketship.

For those unsure, this is the ex-Maclurkin, ex-Gourlay, ex-Gac race car coming to life again.
