Norris Miles (an NZer and McLeod employee at the time) bought the car at end of 72. Goss (McLeod) took delivery of XA coupe in Nov/Dec 72 but Goss didnt race it till late Feb / early March 73. Norris ran it (HO3) at Amaroo and rolled it after 3 laps. It was repaired and sent to NZ when Miles returned. It was raced at Bay Park in July 73 co driven by JR and Miles.
It was driven solo later in 73 by Norris at Pukekehoe where he qualified on pole in the dry but dnf in a wet race.
Norris is still about and living in Melb and has quite good recall of events re this car.
