Group U Historic Sports Sedans at Mallala Easter Historics

[cavvy]

Didnt the McCormack Ansett Charger end up in WA ? Parted out?

[Steve Holmes]

Thanks cavvy, yeah it did get broken up to build another Sports Sedan, but I think someone then reassembled all the parts again, although the car is a long way from complete, and requires total restoration.

I found out today that the ex-Cos Monteroso Anglia was sold on ebay to someone in Victoria, can we find out who bought it and see if we can get them to go to Adelaide for the Mallala Historic weekend...

Hey 105Angria,

I see your car is for sale on my105, I assume you cant make it for Mallala?

[105angria]

Hi Topgear ,put the car up on ebay ,I had a bad year business wise so as a be nice to the wife placed the add , planning on Mallala , missed out on Geelong Revival , working on weekends to get car ready ,stuffed around trying to fit a new type of oil filter ,now i have a massive leak that im struggling to fix, will keep you posted ,think it will be one of the best things to do looking forward to giving the car a run

Hey Angria,
Sorry to hear work is slow... plenty of businesses are...
Good to hear your trying to make it to Mallala, the more the merrier!

Keep an ear out for who bought the ex-cos monterosso Anglia, that car went to MLB, that would be a good car to get to the event also.

I spoke with Chris Clearihan today and he is keen to bring the Edmondson Alfetta to Mallala,
