Rorstan Brabham 2.5's

[Oldfart]

Being a bit of a cynic, is it possible that cars which were deemed to be a "write off" would reappear some time later as something re-named. It was the time of very restrictive import regulations and to need parts to repair was always much easier than a new car. Space frame cars have never been that hard to rebuild and write off was used fairly freely to describe a bit more than a shunt.

I realise I made a number of mistakes in this thread I started, and even had the thread title incorrect.
I didn't realise at the time how complex this topic of Rorstan's cars was, and how much disputed evidence there is.
After many hours of research I think I may finally be on top of it, he says hopefully.

I have decided to start a new thread on these Rorstan Tasman cars, and hopefully cover the full story. This thread can then die.
