Didn't expect it to still be alive John.......40 years ago now.........and it was certainly a cool "Hot-Rod" hence it slipped though my hands like most did back then so no chance of the O and A.............I owned at one stage the grouses Hot-Rod Mk1 Zephyr built by the well known Burbary Brothers whom were known Zephyr gurus here in Tauranga but never got any photos(damn), super hot Mk3 motor, 4 spd box, twin SU's, metallic blue, tinted glass, Jolly wide wheels with XUI Torana wheel bands, disc brakes, custom 6 X 315 Consul tail-lights, etc.........a babe magnet LOL but I only owned it all of about 2 weeks, won a drag race from the 15th ave lights(1976) up against a 100E with a Zephyr 6 motor, blew its doors in, the 100E guy meet me in town the next night and wanted it right or wrong, he came around the next day with his dad whom wrote the cheque out and his dad was not impressed grumbling away, big money back then......looking back what a hoot. 6 Months later the mk1 was written off....we were all only 16/17 back then, the world was your oyster LOLOriginally Posted by John McKechnie
