Default Brabham XY Special

https://www.tradeuniquecars.com.au/f..._Send_List_13K


First time hearing about these specials.
Article suggests maybe 60 were built.
Thought this might be of interest to some here, I had no idea these existed.
The 2 tone kinda works on the body shape, I wouldn't have thought so but the Bronze wine on white looks OK

That is cool, likewise I am sure most of us here would think we have seen all the variations over the years. Great to see something different.

Looks mint, but would have to have a normal XY/XR/XT GT in the shed first before considering this one. Plus its probably worth double my house lol with covid tax at the moment.
