35+ cars and a dozen or so motor bikes, some memorable -
2 Triumph Herald's, one hard top and one soft top, notable for doing a U turn in a back street without needing reverse. E38 Charger, great in a straight line, beware corners! Every model of Cortina except the TF, all T series should have come with a tube of silicon to refix the trim. TD 250/6 manuals went hard. Early Holdens, EJ, EH, HR, HD, FE, FC (I know it's the wrong order) Couple of Landrovers, 56 Dodge Ute with 318 Fireball and 4 speed. Several later Fords, XF, EA, EL, AU Lane. Memorable - Berk Gazelle, VW combi ex-ambulance, Morris Oxford, Morris Major. Ford Transit LWB. And last but not least - the one I miss the most. My red Mini Moke, poured my soul into that car, 1230 racing engine, 13' wheels, hand built electronic ign, stolen by a guy called Phil Daniels, (fix-it-Phil) in SA |
