Wish I had a mono tub I needed a hand with. Had a chance to buy one back in the early 80's for a few thousand from Rex Colliver and turned it down as could not really afford a race car in addition to my Elan. Regretted it ever since. Are you going to be at Winton this weekend ?

cheers

G?day Rohan, I?m a no show at Winton this weekend - my boys have got both soccer & footy all weekend!

James Calder is set to be there with his though ( and I presume Norm Falkiner may have his out to play too).

There's every chance that car was chassis MC6652, the ex John Walker (and more latterly the ex Richard Carter) Mk2C - the "sister" car to mine - it has recently gone to live in the USA!!!

A great piece of history to go with the car - where did you get it from ?

One of my mates in Tassie had it and it was surplus to his requirements.

(and his race car is too wide to fit without space savers!! )
