Here's something to make you envious Roger.
In 1985 a group of us went to Melbourne and then travelled up to Ballarat for the A-H Rally.
On the day of departure Steve Pike threw me the keys to this 100S (belonging to Jim McConville) and said
you're driving this!
I thought he was taking the piss, but he was deadly serious. Even then, this was an extremely valuable car
so I was very careful at all times. I remember it had very tall gearing and took a while to get off the mark.
It also had that awful 3 speed gearbox and overdrive that I have always felt a bit clumsy, but it was amazing
to get the opportunity to drive one for such a distance and over the whole event. Absolutely lovely car and very original at the time. I believe since then it has been repainted in the original blue and white colours.
