Fahey in the Escort again, about to do demonstration laps. I believe the PDL Mustang was being driven here by Leo Leonard.
I don't know anything about this car, other than that its a Scarab. Is it real? Does it have US history? I believe it was sourced from the US.
Steve. yes , its a real Scarab running 327, and this is just how it ran back in the 70s
It has run with HSSIA for the past 2 years, real car, real history.
Michael Johnston runs this, also he has Noddy Murdochs 2 door Avenger Shellsport number 48 - seen above.

Steve, yes there were a few built based on Datsun [ Nissan ] 240 Z's with an American V8, the Scarab name was previously used by by Lance Reventlow for his Sports Cars in the early 1960's - guess no copyright issues as " Scarab " is a type of Beetle

The second of the two Oldsmobile V8 powered Starlets built by Trevor Crowe. This version is probably better known for its next owner, Rodger Freeth, who changed the bodywork and fitted it with a TWR Rover V8.
Cheers Steve, and the only photo's I could find are of the car in NZ

Presume some details on the entrant owner in the programme, looks like a great car ..
and the photos are there !!
My confuser says those are "invalid attachments" Roger.
I think you'll find it is the TRS website with the hiccups Rhys. Several times, images are posted - then disappear. Very, very frustrating - especially when you don't find out until the following day.

Yes the pics were there yesterday but now gone.
trying again the - Scarab Chevvy
No NZ history as far as I know, but this little Fiero Trans-Am racer is still very interesting. Many of these old tube-frame Trans-Am machines that made their way down-under in period have since returned to the US, as their values have risen substantially.
