    The other notable fibreglass body used on Bucklers was the Jarvie, as used on the Merv Mayo car, which is now I believe owned by the abovementioned Kelvin Brown

    Agreed David, but not always AMW as Ferris finally got recognition and used his own name later in the "production". Yes, there were more than one Jarvie too. Kelvin has owned this car a number of times. Also a clubman style body!

    Just going back through this thread doing research on the Paton Ford for my book. Who was Australasian Motor Works?

    Ferris de Joux Steve.
    I'm not entirely happy with the VCC Hooters grid Steve, by now there should have been so many it needed separate grids!

    We could say that about several classes Rhys. We have had about 100 registered drivers for the last ten years, but for most meetings, two grids aren't now really justified.

    Dale was almost at the point of throwing in the towel at one stage. The MG series didn't last. Alfa have broadened to accept all Italian cars. Is the Classic Japanese series still going?

    Sunday's VCC grid not only provided variety, it also provided some genuine racing.
