    Graham has done an amazing job with this car, and it has obviously gone to the right owner who saved it when these old cars really weren't considered important to most. I hope he can find the right person to sell it to. This is definitely one car that needs to be completed and raced again. Thanks for the update Myles.

    Oh, by the way, my favourite guise was its first season, before the big wing. Man that was a sleek looking race car!

    As long as you paint the Alfa in the Elfin scheme I'll come & polish it for you.

    Boy that Edmonson Alfa was/is a neat car!

    Long time Sports Sedan racer Kerry Baily had a Nissan 300ZX for several years, but not many people know that 1986 Bathurst winner Graeme Bailey also had a Nissan 300ZX Sports Sedan built, which was hardly ever raced.

    The Chickadee 300ZX was neat, Derek raced it for a while, later to Steven Voight and now run for a few seasons by Anthony Macready.

    Bondy, what happened to the red Monza that Voight had. That was a good looker.

    I did think to finish my sentence with a similar (but slightly
    more tact-full) statement.

    Thats a shame, because it looked good in it's original red. Don't worry Myle's they can try but will never get them like you have.

    I see this car is now officially for sale. It won't be cheap. Its not yet finished. But it is a car of great significance, and huge historical importance.
