Salt Lake Milano.

Remember Simon was looking for a new body for the blue Milano?

Well, a mould has been taken from Neville D's body.

Mark at Auto Art in Moonta did the work and it's certainly impressive. A high quality mould with tooling gel. Will try and keep you posted on future progress.

Australian Classic Car's visit to Binalong Museum.

Look what they found.

Time for a Queensland car.

Stacey took these photos when he was up that way last month. He recognised this Mark 7 as the ex-Eastwood car. It's one of three belonging to Bazza Campbell.

Meanwhile, in other corners of the "shed".

Progress in Madrid.

Some chassis pics and a plea about gear linkage.

(Cat's out of the bag - it's going left hand drive)

Dear John,

   I never thought that the gear box linkage could be a problem for making the gear box work, please have a look at the pictures I´ve already sent to you....the pack (Eng. and gear box9 come from an old Mustang......and the standard linkage.....sits too much back and we been told that there there exist a system that we can buy and fit on top of the gear box so that´s it-......please could you help and put a biit of light about this....? 

                                                 Thanks and regards : Joe.

No Bolwells but........

Photo shoot.

See. You don't have to be in a bikini to look sexy. Ripped jeans are fine.

Can't wait for the Sunday Times to come out.

FYI

Vinyl

Yes, I agree, Kristin's 7 would be the very first vinyl wrapped Bolwell.

Looks great doesn't it.
Might go one better and bubble wrap mine.

Comment JB

Just thought we might change direction ... a little. Seems you all loved the ol days, so here's one you might remember. The mighty Veskanda I raced in the 80's, built by K & A Engineering in Adelaide. It was owned by Bernie Van Elson, it was arguably the best car I've raced. I set lap records everywhere we raced it. The last time I raced it was with Dick Johnson in 1988 in the Sandown 6 Hour International race. We ran dry on fuel, those Group C races were economy runs. The car is now owned by my mate Paul Stubber, he's racing it overseas and doing very well in Historic Group C races. Once a good car, always a good car I say! Those were the days. Cheers JB

 

This is awful.

Veteran state-level competitor Peter Hall has succumbed to injuries sustained in a crash at the weekend’s Victorian State Championships at Phillip Island.
The South Australian’s Datsun 240Z collided with the rear of Ted Huglin’s stalled Lamborghini Gallardo at the start of a sportscar race on Sunday.
Following the crash, Hall was taken to the Phillip Island hostpital before being flown to Melbourne’s Alfred Hospital in a critical condition.
A CAMS statement on Wednesday afternoon described Hall’s death as “a massive loss for the sport”.
Peter and his wife Margaret were both honoured with Order of Australia Medals earlier this year for their services to motorsport.
Hall was a former chairman of CAMS’ South Australian State Council and had been an active competitor since the 1970s.
