New Zealand Historic Racing Cars Book

[Trevor Sheffield]

In its heyday I can not recall the GCS ever having telescopic shocks rather than lever type. However I do remember the shrunk on binder twine wrapped springs, as was often used during the thirties when George commenced his motor sport. The origins and design of of the car emanate from, Brooklands, Indianapolis, Western Springs Speedway and number eight wire common sense, all being combined to build a tool/weapon for a brave driver. The GCS was never intended to be driven with constant adhesion in a straight line and I'll bet it is still great fun to drive and may it remain so. LOL

PS. Please, please leave all the exposed working parts unpainted and with only a dark oily make-up. Currently it is blushing red and sad. George should be allowed to RIP.
