    I asked John Dymand about this car. Here is his reply:

    This was a ckd car on 3 pallets that Jack Brabham brought back from Europe it came direct from Fords Cologne factory in bits I BOUGHT the whole thing and we fabricated allsorts of bits for it couldn't afford $30000 for the original V6 engine so we fitted a Boss 302 to it raced it a couple of times andi returned to NZ with the car and OSCA wouldn't let me race it the way it was so we had to move the engine forward 14 inches we never ever got the balance right after that . I sold the car to Clyde Collins when I needed cash for a new busnt Dsatsuniness (The Motormarket).my partner Lawrence Bruce and I bought a couple of Minis which we raced for 2 seasons Then I went Datsun for Shellsport and Osca until I moved to the USA I don't know what Clyde did with the Capri
