We are fortunate enough to have 2 that run regularly down here in Aus. Beautiful cars. Laurie Bennett is regularly competing in his all round the world.
He races his hard despite his age and actually had a slow rollover at Sandown last November. It was all pristine again by Phillip Island though. :bow:

Car still races today.... in fact it was for sale for a mere $250,000.
It is more an Elfin Sports car underneath the GTV Alfetta bodywork

For sale ad:(more pics)

Aaaaahhh yes. The aging horse that John Cannon rode to beat the B & D Show by a lap with :omg: ; wearing the only set of F5000 (they ran on Saturday) rain "shoes" in the wet '68 'Guna Seca round of the Can Am. (He'd been out-qualified by 5 seconds in the dry.) They worked better than the Can Am wets.... :mrgreen:

I think I read a comment somewhere that said the car was more a F5000 than a "normal" touring car. Would not surprise me. I've always wondered: Were there any strict regulations in these championships?

I figgered that....same cars underneath though. That's how I determine a good looking race car, it itself, not the "paint" job. ;)

My cousin has an Austin A35 which until recently he used to race for the HRDC (Historic Racing Drivers Club). I always thought that was a very nice car :)
