THE SR6 on the market.

John Harwood has decided to move the Mark 6 on. He's spent a lot on it and made a beautiful car out of it. In the 7 years he has owned it he has raced it infrequently, even bringing it over to the Phillip Island Classic the year before last. I'll let John tell you what's been done to it.

Some photos I took today.Briefly the car has had a new
engine with BMW V8 pistons,steel con rods,billet steel flywheel, extreme
stage 2 clutch, ceramic coated extractors,Yella Terra roller rockers,webers

rose joints,new rotoflex drive couplings,half shaft uni joints and upright
bearings.New layshaft and selector forks 1st reverse 4th and 5th gear sets

aluminium rims with magnesium centres. Brakes reconditioned new braided
lines new front rotors rebushed pedals cable adjusted brake bias and
Porterfield R4-1 pads. I can go on but I'm sure you have the picture I have
kept a diary so have a good record of the work done for anybody who may be
interested.Thanks for taking an interest I look forward to seeing it on your
blog.Current group Q sports CAMS Log book,2017 Cams race audit,Certificate

Mystery continues.

In 2007, I think it was, we posted a photo from an old Australian Street Rodding magazine of the Mk.7 at that very event.
At the time we ascertained that it was powered by a Falcon 6 but nothing more. Dennis Burdon's Mk.7 had a Falcon 6 with supercharger......
.....but it turned out to be not the same car.

A Cookie Coach truck.

A bloke rang from Queensland at Easter time to say he'd just bought this at a market. I wonder what plans he has for it. (photo - Barry Currie).

That twin V12 boat again.


Apparently it sold for $21,000.00


My favourite 3-wheelers No.4


No wonder the Canadian component car industry is mediocre.

If this is what they come up with.
Or is it an exercise in composites?

Mk.7 tail lights.

Hi,
Can you please pass on directly to all members and place in your slipstream please.
I have spoken to Gary of Toyota heritage who has had the ms40 crown (Bolwell mk7) tail light lenses made and are now for sale. Gary has contacts in Japan and says that this particular model is extremely rare this the reason he had them made. I have also asked him to contact me directly if he can get a complete set or the chrome bezel in his travels around the world so I can pass onto our members for a first option of purchase.

For one set of lenses, the cost will be $190. If you get together and order 3 or more sets, the cost will be $165 a set.
To order please contact him directly;
