Back when it looked like an Ikara.

Mark IVs and original owners.

Well, we've ascertained that John Turner still has his.

But here's a couple that I haven't heard about for over 40 years.

(1). Ray Johnstone.

(2). Brian Whellan.

Dear little thing. (The car, not Brian.) Nagari tail lights I see.

Now, somebody please tell me whose Mk.4 this is, seen at Sandown in the 60s.

Special delivery.

How's that for service?

Going back a bit.

This is Barry Campbell racing his TR3A in the early days of Marque Sports/ProdSports when tens of thousands of people used to turn up at Oran Park etc. So Barry has been at it for a long time, as has Matt Pintar who raced an MGB at the same time prior to taking over and developing the Bolwell Mk.7 that eventually ended up in Barry's hands.

This is how the Bolwell looked at about the time that Matt put it up for sale.

And earlier.

And this is how it looked some time later after Barry purchased it.

And later still.

And this year at Beaudesert.

And here's a picture at Amaroo simply because it's one of my favourites.

Pass this on if you think Justin might be interested.

 

I had a one-piece front section and got around the issue via the method shown in the attached photo.

 

I obtained the bits from the Gardening Section at a local hardware store

Nagari windscreen washers?

Justin is getting road registration for the Nagari in UK. One of the requirements of the MoT is to have windscreen washers. Here's his query.

Hi John, strange one this. Did they ever have them originally? I cant find any pictures and I need at least one for the MOT (road reg) here in UK. I ebay'd a classic Mini double chrome nozzle. But where do you drill the hole?

Any help would be great.

Cheers

Justin

One for Jason to chase.

No, it's not VooDoo. Even though it's at a drag meet at Surfer's Paradise, it's actually a circuit racer. It belonged to Gary Yates who was at Strathpine, just North of Brisbane. Rumour has it that he still has the car. Could be wrong.

Talking of the Alan Davison V8 Mk.7, VooDoo, which was a regular at Queensland drag meetings in the late 60s to mid 70s, David Homburg still has it for sale.

Tail lights.

The first lot of Mark 7 tail light lenses have arrived.

Don't look bad do they?

Water pipe.

Cheaper by the dozen.

Meanwhile, over in Albany, WA

It's round-the-houses time again plus the hillclimb.

Goodonya Kim and Eddie and John.

Kapunda - week 102

A couple of things that caught my eye at the Kapunda Swap Meet.

A Commodore panel van.

And a VW Fastback, something you don't often see these days.

Another wooden vehicle.

You won't believe what it reminds me of........Bap Romano's transporter. It had polished wooden sides like that. I think he was a timber merchant.
