    They dont all stay the right way up.
    This car competed and finnished in the Surfers Paradise 6 hour race in late 60's.
    It was taken to NZ as a road car in 70's and sold over there to get airfare home.
    In the past month it has been purchased from NZ by someone in NSW and is being returned to Oz.
    The original driver pictured just missed out on doing a deal to get car back from NZ.
    It was painted Yellow/ Red in Shell colours.
