Here's a link to info on the one that came to Australia for Jim Smith to race. You will need to register with Shannons to read the full article....

Someone once said given the choice between a stuff-up and a conspiracy go for the stuff-up every time. Why not put this 'theory' to Ian Tate now. He is still very accessible and I'm sure his...
Here's the pic I mentioned. Not my photo and happy to add an attribution if anyone knows who took it....56332
I recently saw a photo of it and it appeared close to being finished - fully painted and sporting the original wheels. I'll see if I can find a link and post it.

Alas, no. The 2nd line is 'Sparkling Drink/s' , the 3rd is 'So Refreshing'

Greeting from west of the Tasman. Here's my current NA6. Very standard apart from the wheels. It is relatively low mileage with just over 160,000km from new. I bought it late last year in...

To paraphrase an old advertising campaign, would it be fair to say 'Body by Giugiaro, Soul by Bizzarrini' ?
My bad. I'm more familiar with the later Grifos. Cheers
I hate to be a pedant but I think the red car in post #1512 is a Bizzarinni rather than an Iso Grifo
Yes.
There should be plenty of info about, Ken. It was only restored relatively recently and featured in all the major Oz motor magazines at that time...

Inded it is, but I think Ray was saying that Peter later won the ASCC in a lovely Elfin 350........
I'd plump for the 4-door A9X being Charlie O'Brien
Not special dispensation, but they were hamstrung by having to use drum brakes on the rear, despite coming from the factory with four-wheel discs. The general consensus was that CAMS were worried...
They are great, and not just this thread.. More, More ;)
Unfortunately Barry passed away a few years ago.
Chas Kelly of Tassie, rather than Chas Talbot of Vic methinks....
There's a lot of gold in there. Fantastic variety. It will take a while to absorb it all.
Apologies for quality but my scanner is out of action. The quote for complete kit less engine is $7400, reasonable value for that time.
