LAIRY COLOURS, ARE PART OF THE APPEAL
COLOUR COMBOS on classics or any car for that matter, can be
very subjective. Over the years the crew at Unique Cars has done
a great job of photographing and documenting the stories of some
of our best home-grown classics. We seem to have spotted and
featured a decent amount of Valiant VF and VG Pacers over the
years in an assortment of hero colours that have drawn our eye.
When Chrysler Australia reached out to Unique Cars Magazine
with its intentions of producing a limited run Chrysler SRT8 in
Pacer livery, Guido and myself were quite chuffed. Chrysler itself
turned to us for access to our image archives, due to the number of
cars we had photographed, and ultimately we were the main source
for detailed images online.
Even though my suggestion for a dash mounted VF style
tachometer was quickly rejected, it was great to see the nameplate
revived even though the SRT8 Pacer only came in black, grey and
white unlike the striking concept car which matched our former
Isis Yellow, VF Pacer cover car from 2016.
Since then, we have found a few more, featuring a Thar She
Blue VF Pacer and even a stunning Thar She Blue VG Pacer
coupe. The more I look at the early Valiant Pacer colour range,
the more I like them. The unique grille and the bold stripes make
these cars so much more appealing and their racing ties are just a
bonus – which brings us to this issue’s cover car, a hot mustard VG
E31 Track-Pack Pacer.
A true Bathurst bred racer, this big-tank equipped car is truly
something special, Dave Morley gives us an insight into the 2V
success over the 4V equipped cars in competition, and we get to
enjoy another rare Aussie muscle car that usually sits out of the
spotlight.
If you have something special in your shed, we would love to
hear from you, so please drop us a line and I’ll see you on the
road.

MOFFAT
MUSTANG BIBLE
THE MOST comprehensive
book about arguably the greatest
car in Australian motorsport
history, Allan Moffat’s TransAm
Mustang, is ready for preordering.
The Boss: The Inside Story of
Allan Moffat and his TransAm
Mustang is written by awardwinning motor sport journalist
and historian David Hassall who
8
TradeUniqueCars.com.au
devoted the past five years in
bringing to life this incredible
story, and the result is every bit
as magnificent as the car itself.
The hardcover 450-page book
has been produced with Allan’s
cooperation, is officially licenced
by Allan Moffat Racing, with the
Foreword written by Pauline
Moffat.
The Boss contains more than
110,000 words packed with
rare detail and unique insights
provided by the people who were
there, along with 600 historic
black-and-white and colour
photos, many of which have
never previously been published.
Allan was interviewed
extensively for the book, years
before his well-publicised
dementia was diagnosed,
providing a unique and
irreplaceable perspective on his
favourite car and its colourful
history.
Moffat’s carers granted
Hassall exclusive access to
Allan’s extensive collection of
documents and photographs
for the book, as did Peter Lyall,
who looks after the car for the
Bowden family in Queensland.
Photos include the car being
built at Kar-Kraft in Detroit and
Bud Moore Engineering in South
Carolina, arriving in Australia,
appearing for the first time at
Sandown in early May 1969, and
being prepared (and repaired)
at Moffat’s own workshop in
Melbourne.
All the key figures in the car’s
extraordinary race career provide
first-hand accounts, most for the
first time, bringing a richness
to the iconic car and driver’s
brilliant and often controversial
story.
The large-format book
uncovers the technical secrets
that made the TransAm
Mustang the most advanced
racing sedan of its time, as
revealed by engineer Lee Dykstra
who was responsible for the
TransAm Mustang’s design and
construction at Kar-Kraft.
More than two dozen people
were interviewed exclusively
for the book, including Don
Gibb, who organised the
groundbreaking Coca-Cola
sponsorship, Coke executive
David Maxwell who did the
deal, and hard-working AMR
mechanics Barry Nelson, Peter
Thorn, Ian Lees, John Myers,
Lou Mallia and Ray Cutchie.
The Boss also includes
chapters outlining Moffat’s
rise to fame in Australia and
America, revealing in previously
unreported detail his early
career, peppered with Allan’s
own candid recollections.
A race-by-race account of the
Mustang’s six-year career from its
first race in 1969 to its last in 1975
sets straight the car’s magnificent
record.
A special ‘Platinum Edition’
of the book, featuring a special
wraparound cover and limited to
302 signed and numbered copies
is also available for pre-order,
priced at $349 plus postage and
handling.
Unique to the Platinum
Edition is a reproduction of
the Moffat Mustang’s original
16-page CAMS logbook, a
priceless relic that has not been
sighted for more than 50 years.
It was uncovered by the author
during his exhaustive research
for the book.
The ‘standard’ edition with the
same high production values, is
priced at $189 plus postage and
handling.
Both versions of the book
will be delivered in time for
Christmas.

ONE MAN'S TRASH …
PHOTOS RM SOTHEBY'S
THIS WRECK sold for a staggering A$2,913,934
by renowned auction house RM Sotheby’s at the
Monterey Car Week last month.
What is it?
The second of just 13 examples built of the 1954
Ferrari 500 Mondial featuring Pininfarina Spider
bodywork and driven by Franco Cortese. This is
chassis 0406.
In 1947, when Enzo Ferrari started his own racing
company, Cortese was signed on as the driver and
gave the marque its maiden victory, the Roma GP of
that same year.
Claiming period racing use and initial ownership
by one of Italy’s better-known Scuderia principals,
this long-hidden Ferrari was assembled during
March 1954 and finished in Rosso Corsa paint over
a Similpelle Beige vinyl interior.
The following month, the car was sold to Franco
Cornacchia, a Milanese sports car dealer and
principal of one of the region’s most significant
privateer racing teams and raced by Cortese.
In mid 1954 it was rebodied by Scaglietti and
returned to racing before being shipped to the
USA in 1958 where it raced with an American V8,
a common practice.
Somewhere in the next two years, it crashed
heavily and suffered fire damage. It passed through
many owners and remained in its race-damaged
condition.
It sold with its factory-issued chassis plate and is
accompanied by key components including rearaxle corners and its matching-numbers gearbox
along with a larger, 3.0-litre Tipo 119 Lampredi
inline-four engine.
Being the second 500 Mondial made and raced
by one of post war Italy’s best-known privateers
adds untold value.
It sold with copies of the original factory build
sheets and CSAI homologation papers, and now
in fresh hands for the first time in half a century,
makes for an ambitious and costly restoration
project.

WORDS & PHOTOS CLIFF CHAMBERS
THERE HASN’T been a new
Triumph sports car sold in
over 40 years, but that didn’t
stop members of the Triumph
Sports Owners Association
(QLD) celebrating when their
brand recently marked its 100th
Anniversary.
On the final weekend of
winter, more than 30 Triumphs
representing every major model
produced since the 1950s
gathered in the lawns of the
Gold Coast Motor Museum at
Upper Coomera (QLD) to mark
the occasion.
Plenty of older TRs were
included in the group, several of
them just back from a gathering
which itself celebrated 70 years
since the TR2 sports model was
released.
Other versions on display
included several TR6 roadsters,
Stags, a Dolomite Sprint and
numerous TR7s, including a
rare US-spec Spyder convertible.
Pride of Ownership awards
went to a 2500S sedan and
TR4, followed by lunch in
the Museum restaurant and
comments from TSOAQ
president, Frank Jacobson.
“Triumph was very nearly
lost to us during the years after
World War II, but saved by
models like the TR, Spitfire and
2000 sedan,” he said.
“Throughout the world,
especially in the USA and
Britain, thousands of Triumphs
are being preserved, with
support from numerous owners’
clubs and parts suppliers.”
“With that kind of interest
and support, I have no doubt
that in another 100 years the
Triumph name will still be
recognised and there will again
be gatherings of surviving cars
held to commemorate the
brand’s 200th Anniversary.”

DODGE
CHARGER
$105,000
SHANNONS, LOT 181
AN ICONIC US muscle car, the '6870 Charger is sought after by Mopar
fans. This one has a 383ci V8 tied to
a three-speed auto. 1970 was its last
production year and its distinctive
fastback ‘Coke bottle’ styling. The
Charger starred in the epic car chase
in the movie Bullitt and the television
series Dukes of Hazzard. Owned for
25 years by the vendor, it has had a
repaint and been retrimmed in the
factory style. With nothing to do but
enjoy it, this one sold with an original
owner’s manual.
HIGGO
WHAT'S MOVIN'
AND SHAKIN'
CHRYSLER LANCER
Chrysler/Mitsubishi
decided Holden wasn’t
going to be the only
one with a small coupe
and so introduced the
Chrysler Lancer liftback
in mid 1977 as part
of the LB range. The
stylish coupe had sports
seats and a dash full of
gauges, arrow decals,
and saw reasonable
showroom success.
Come May 1979 the
new LC Lancer range
saw the sedan dropped.
The new coupe had
rectangular headlights,
painted bumpers and
a five-speed manual
'box. Power was from
a SOHC version of the
4G32 engine dubbed
G32B. It was rebranded
the Mitsubishi Lancer in
1981 and bowed out in
August the same year.
There aren't many left

GOTTA 240Z in the shed? This is one
of 299 made between 1969-70, and this
award winner has been restored twice,
once in Japan and once in London.
Nissan sourced the 1989cc inline six
from Prince which used it in the C10
Skyline GT-R and R380 race car. This
matching numbers S20 with three
Mikuni-Solex carbs coughs up 160hp,
while the Z432 name comes from the
engine’s four valves per cylinder, three
carbs and two camshafts. It’s tied
to a close-ratio five-speed manual.
Finished in orange with black trim and
magnesium Watanabe wheels, it is sure
to light up any car show.
1957
PONTIAC
CUSTOM SAFARI
A$89,230
HEMMINGS
A RARE car, one of 1292 produced
and with its history traced back to the
original owner, a doctor in Colorado. The
seller says it was restored in the 1980s
and has been well cared for since. While
it’s showing its age outside, it’s claimed
to be in excellent mechanical condition
and has only done 90,500 miles. The
interior, featuring a padded dash is in
exceptionally good shape. The Safari’s
347ci V8 engine was rebuilt in the '80s.
1969
FORD CORTINA
MK II GT
$25,500
SHANNONS, LOT 155
THE MK II GT had big shoes to fill, given
the success of its predecessor. This one
was bought new in Dubbo in November
1969 and with the same owner until 2019,
when it was acquired by the vendor. It
served as a daily driver and a competition
car in local club events including at
Bathurst. It was stolen and crashed in
1985 and remained in a shed for 50
years. An unrestored survivor it shows a
genuine 123,852 miles.

NAMED AFTER the success of the 96 in the 1962
and '63 Monte Carlo Rallies, this later version sports a
Ford sourced V4 bolted to a column-change manual
gearbox. An homologation special and built for one
year only, this one was imported from the Netherlands
and fully restored in 1995. The vendor bought it five
years ago and ironed out any bugs. It is in superb
condition. A left hooker with a large cloth sunroof, it
shows 62,747km on the clock and came with a swag of

SEVEN 82 MOTORS, LOT 21
I’D LIKE to know what was in the coffee of the folk
who penned the AMC Pacer. It is one weird beast but
found fame in the Wayne’s World movies. Offered
with no reserve, this example has done just 18,993
miles and sports a 4.0lt six and three-speed auto, plus
sports trim, air-con, an 8-track stereo, sports wheels
and whitewalls. It is believed to have had a respray at
some point, with the brightwork in good nick.

APRIL 14 1964 was M day for Ford. That was the day
the world got its first glimpse of the famous Pony Car.
Based on a Falcon platform, it was an instant hit in its
three body styles. This one with a 289 V8 and C4 was
professionally converted to right-hand drive and is from
a long-term owner who pampered it for the past 20
years. It shows 93,370 miles and sold with receipts for
the last 20 years. It was Repainted in 2019, the Mustang
presents well outside and the two-tone Pony interior
shows little wear in keeping with its limited use.

Driven by many famous drivers to many victories,

36 years. When purchased, it had 34,116km on the
clock, now it reads 394,806km. It was repainted
in 2010 and the engine rebuilt at 246,116km. It sold
with its full maintenance and servicing history, and
the original book set in a factory Porsche wallet.

HEMMINGS
FULLY RESTORED 20 years ago (with receipts)
and now with a Tri-Power 348ci V8 and auto. The
convertible Impala was the top dog, and this finned
leviathan was built in Canada and restored about 20
years ago adding a new donk and continental kit. It
was a multi award winner in the East Texas area, but
after the owner passed it sat for five years. But it is
now back in good running order.

FORD RANCHERO
UTILITY
$15,000
SHANNONS, LOT 142
NO, IT ISN’T an XK ute, but an American Ranchero.
Original Rancheros were Fairlane based, but from
1960 onwards, Falcon was their foundation hence
the familiarity. Bought at a Mecum auction in 2018,
it’s painted mid-green with a fine metallic fleck.
There are a few chips and it sits lower on whitewall
shod steel rims. The black vinyl-trimmed bench
seat and carpets are in good condition. It now has
a 260ci six-cylinder driving through a three-speed
automatic and indicates 74,603 miles.

$89,750
SEVEN 82 MOTORS, LOT 42
THERE AREN’T many genuine HJ Sandmans left
and this one is a beauty. A Brisbane built XX7
plated Sandman has been repainted and retrimmed.
It has a 253 and four-speed manual combo and
sports a dual-headlight Statesman front and GTS
dash. It rolls on widened Sandman GTS wheels
and is a neatly restored example of an Aussie Icon,
that defined the '70s for a generation. No mention
of drive-in passes in the glovebox, but there is a
mattress and curtains in the back.

THIS KINGSWOOD wagon is Clark Kent on the

underneath Superman in the form of a 500hp LS1
Chev V8 and Trimatic auto. A real wolf in sheep's
clothing right down to its whitewall tyres. It has
been repainted in its original Mirage Blue and since
its thorough restoration, the wagon has covered just
3230km and, says the owner, drives like a dream.

windows and mirrors, a sunroof, digital clock,
air-con and a Honda radio-cassette player. It sold

ISABELLA COUPE
$75,000
SHANNONS, LOT 202
UNIQUE CARS featured a Borgward Isabella and
it was very well received. Given the excellent sale
price, this superb example was also well received.
The Isabella was produced in small numbers
between 1957 and 1962, with few surviving today.
This one has received a refurb in the 1990s and is
an Australian delivered car. It seems in fine fettle
and sold with 81,000 miles on it, plus the original
hand and accessories booklets.

HERE’S A BUNCH OF WAYS TO
MAX OUT THE PLASTIC
1. FIFTY YEARS ON
Celebrating the 50th
anniversary of the 1973
Bathurst win by Allan Moffat
and Pete Geoghegan is this
superb 1:18 die-cast model,
appropriately, in gold. The ‘73
race was the first over 1000
kilometres, action packed and
drama filled. John Goss led
early, then Moffat spun the
big two-door Falcon out of
the lead to give Peter Brock
his chance, but the Torana
ran out of fuel, handing the
lead and win to the Ford. This
detailed model will evoke
memories as it sits on your
shelf. Numbers are limited
and cost is around $300.
classiccarlectables.com.au
2. COOL IT
Those unbearable summer
days when you couldn’t
escape the blazing sun and
would give anything for a cold
drink are almost on us again.
So grab one of these very
stylish, retro-look coolers, this
one with Toyota and Toyoda
logos. This esky is made of
powder-coated steel, so it’ll
stand up to the elements
better than a case on an
airport carousel. Its insulated
interior will keep things icy.
It can take 15 cans and a bag
of ice, or six bottles of wine
with a bag of ice, or two
bottles of wine and a dozen
cans as well. Cost is $119.95 at
customretrocoolers.com
3. HOT WHEELS
After new boots for your
daily driver or your classic or
custom car? Make a beeline
to Stuckey Tyres and its
unrivalled range of tyres
from a T-model onwards.
And wheels too, like these
CTM wheels for HQ to
WB Holdens, Toranas and
Pontiacs. The GTS Sprint
comes in many sizes: 15x7,
15x8, 15x10, 17x8, and 17x9inches. They have a slick
machined face with black
background and are clear
coated for cleaning ease.
The cast alloy construction is
strong and street legal.
Check them out at
stuckey.com.au
4. CHANGING OF THE GUARDS
The older they get, the harder
it is to find parts. Luckily the
team at Muscle Car Parts is
always sourcing new parts
and panels to ensure the
older beauties are kept on
the road and not in the shed.
If you have a 1962 Chev
Impala in need of some new
metal, then give Muscle Car
Parts a call. These brand
new, reproduction left front
guards are in stock now for
just $750. They’re finished
in undercoat black and are a
cinch to mount. If you don’t
need a left front guard, jump
online and check out the
gigantic range to suit most
makes and models. Go to,
allmusclecarparts.com.au
5. SHINE A LIGHT
If you know auto lighting and
electrical, you’ll know Narva.
An Aussie company that has
been around since 1957, the
name is an anagram for the
material to produce a globe:
N for Nitrogen, AR for Argon
and VA for Vacuum. Bet you
didn’t know that! Narva has
more than 5000 individual
part numbers including the
12-volt H4 60/55W plus 120
halogen headlight globes
in a pack of two. They have
a globe width of 17mm and
base height of 75mm, and
provide a massive 120 per cent
improvement of light on the
road, delivering outstanding
driver vision and safety.
narva.com.au
6. CAMBER CURE
K-Mac’s longevity and
expertise ensure they can
get cars to corner. One of its
latest products to hit the shelf
is a rear strut plate camber
adjustment kit for 240Z,
260Z, 280Z Dattos from
1970 to 1978. Sold as a pair,
these top strut mounts will
transform your Datto to carve
curves or swing through
sweepers like never before.
Fitting takes no time and they
have 22mm of adjustment
and heavy-duty bearings.
Needle roller bearings
mitigate steering binding.
Priced at $645.

HONDA CR-X I owned a silver 1990 Honda CR-X in the early 2000s. What a wonderful car. It
was completely stock with extremely low mileage and it was a manual! I had grand plans to
modify it, but sold it for next to nothing when I travelled overseas as a university graduate, in
2004. What a fool, I wish I had that car today.

MERCEDES-BENZ 300SE
‘Fintail’ models were the first Mercedes-Benz products
to achieve local sales success, however we didn’t see
many of the range topping 300SE. These new in 1965
cost $10,900, or around $3000 more than the bigger
Jaguar Mark X (10). What the Jag didn’t offer and the
Benz did was fuel injection, air-suspension and the
snob value of that pointed-star emblem. A lot of our
300s were sold to landholders in rural areas where low
humidity helped save them from the rust that killed
coastal cars. They were always rare though, and almost
never seen now, yet not expensive either.

FORD XC FALCON GS V8 UTILITY
NOW
$50,000+
$12,000
A new descriptor has entered the classic vehicle
lexicon and that word is ‘Unicorn’. Mythical, extinct,
non-existent, whatever the term means to you it can
certainly be applied to this incredibly scarce XC.
Just uncovering one that has evaded terminal rust
is enough, but then to find it to be a V8 four-speed
with air and steer would boggle the world of any
Falcon enthusiast. Where did it go after being sold as
undoubtedly it was in 2006? We would love to hear
this blue ute’s full story and see how good it looks 17
years further in to its lifespan. What’s it worth? How
much you got?

Does anyone still have an F Series Victor, running
and not rusty? They used to be everywhere; the car
you bought when you needed interior space and a
big boot without the six-cylinder thirst of a Holden,
Zephyr or full-sized Vauxhall Velox. The styling was
an interesting blend of mid-Fifties Oldsmobile and
extreme bad taste, which would have held sales back
a bit. Then they started to rust. By the mid-1970s
hardly any survived and those that did – as with the
car seen here – had probably spent their lives in dry,
rural regions. Survivors still don’t generate much
money either.

CHEVROLET BEL-AIR CONVERTIBLE

$135,000
Back in the days of the Muscle Car ‘ boom’ owners
of other desirable models could get excited when
pricing their cars and start chasing ambitious
money. This finned ’57 Chevy looks to be a nice
car, but the ad doesn’t claim it to be running fuel
injection or even ‘dual quad’ carburettors. Either
feature would for certain have pushed its value
past $100,000, but without them $135K was a long
way out in the wilderness. Times have changed
and while soft-top '57s still aren’t common in our
market, US demand and values would have helped
this car improve on its 2007 value.

DATSUN 280SX
It took less than a decade for Datsun’s ‘Z Car’ to turn
from lithe and athletic to soft and lumbering. Yes,
Paul Newman did use one to win an SCCA title and
they did okay in local Production Car events here,
but street versions still couldn’t call themselves a
sports car. Low values during the 1990s saw a lot
deemed uneconomic to save and disappear, yet
even this allegedly excellent car wasn’t expensive.
Prospects for present-day survivors look more
promising, with parts support from the USA helping
keep rust-free cars running. Still not worth the
money being realised by 240-260Zs.

VALIANT AP5 SAFARI WAGON
To kids growing up in the 1960s, a trip to the beach
in the back of a friend’s family Valiant wagon was
a bit more interesting than going by other means.
With parents up front and the back seat laid flat
there was comfort aplenty for six kids sitting legs
stretched and crosswise across the load area, with
towels, Eskys, the umby and kickboards thrown in
on top. All horribly unsafe and dead illegal these
days, of course, but surviving Safaris remain a
desirable bit of Aussie automotive culture. Plus
they will generally cost less in today’s market than
the more common EH Holden.

Is calling this car ‘King of the Rexes’ succumbing
to tautology? Even if it is, no other road-going
Subaru will generate the same market excitement
as a 22B when one gets unleashed on to a rally
road or salesroom. Australia saw just five official
arrivals plus a few as personal imports. Whether
any have subsequently been resold overseas is
unknown, but the prospect if you’ve got one sitting
under a cover must be tempting. A car in the USA
was sold for US$312,000 and a couple of the UK
cars have been touted at £250,000, so half-million
here must be possible.

1974 FORD FALCON XB GT $125,000
SHED FINDS are few and far between, but here’s
one. Found tucked up, untouched and unmolested
in a shed in NSW. It has been sitting there since
1987. Under a layer of dust is a Pepper Red four-door
XB GT. A perfect project for any Ford fan or Aussie
muscle car aficionado. According to the blurb the
body is in great nick for its age thanks in part to
the dry dark climate it has lived in. The interior is
also in remarkably good condition for its age and it
is all very original, right down to the push button
radio. Under the bonnet is a matching numbers 351
Cleveland engine nailed to a four-speed manual.
2006 FPV F6 BF TYPHOON
$80,000
WHAT MAKES this Typhoon so special is its build
plate; Number One. That’s right, the first cab off the
rank. Giving the Typhoon its extraordinary power is
the turbocharger bolted to the 4-litre inline six and
in this case, fastened to a six-speed manual. Digging
through the archives, I reckon this car might have even
started life as the media car for all the journos to have
a go in. It is apparently the first Typhoon of this colour,
Toxic Green, to the have dark wheels fitted to it and it
has travelled just 108,000 kilometres. A modern Aussie
muscle car, and a decent slice of Ford history to boot.

IT’S ALWAYS a good feeling to snaffle a lot of car for
not a lot of cash, as Guido’s shed will attest. When new,
this Carnival Red XJ6 would have required a fair wad
to have put in your name. I think the XJ series Jag has
always looked very elegant and the later versions have
a level of reliability not so common in earlier models.
Under the bonnet lies the silky smooth 3.2lt straight six
and naturally, an auto box. It has travelled 191,244km,
but you wouldn’t pick that by looking at its overall
outstanding condition. While almost three decades old,
the styling doesn’t look it and I can see this car being
enjoyed on country drives to a restaurant or pub.

Bird and this is a very rare manual version, bolted to

look in excellent condition. Judging by its appearance
inside and out, it has been well cared for and has both

The engine and surrounding bay

Early in 1972 Ford released the
XA GT Falcon in sedan and hardtop
versions. It was the first Falcon to
be totally designed by Australians,
as production of the Falcon in the
US had ceased some 18 months
earlier. The XA was the biggest
Falcon yet, with the boldest styling,
designed for wider appeal with its
less aggressive look and creature
comforts.
Ford built 129,473 XA Falcons
between March 1972 and
September 1973, including the
construction of 129 RPO83 sedans.
The GT Specials - that’s their
official title - were Regular
Production Option 83 on Ford’s
options list for Falcon GTs.

LETTER
WOOD IS GOOD
OF THE MONTH
Thanks to
Ian Frost for
reminding us that
classics come in
all shapes and
forms. He receives
a Unique Cars gift
pack. Wear it
with pride!
You have to admire the guys that dream
about, buy, work on, show and drive a
unique car.
And it is amusing to listen to the tribal
musings of the chrome bumper brigade
knocking the plastic mob.
We have had the Jap crap, Brit s-it, yank
tank and Euro trash knockers and lovers,
I like them all.
But remember, the old classics were made
of wood. Don’t need spot, stick, mig or tig,
just a pocket full of nails and a hammer.
ED: Ian, we appreciate all things
automotive here at UC, and I
think anyone who has attempted
a restoration of any level, would
appreciate the efforts involved in
restoring any car from brass era to
plastic bumper.
Your letter actually reminds me of
a Jaguar XK120 I stumbled upon in a
friend’s workshop, it was undergoing a
full restoration, but the owner decided
to replace all the structural timber
work with hand fabricated sheet
metal!

UNIQUE FAN
In your August edition of Unique Cars, Ian Collett’s
letter in Hunting S4’s mentions his father’s S4 with
power discs etc, it must have been a very special
car, because to my knowledge no EH Holden ever

come out with discs as I race one in Group N with
the mandatory four-wheel drum brakes and it
certainly would make it easier on me .
About time! I think its a great move to introduce
Unique Bikes into Unique Cars magazine. I’m sure
I’m not the only one who enjoys owning both a
unique car (or two) and a unique bike (or three).

like this anymore (well except for the Kawasaki
H2 Supercharged bikes, which I also own one
of). A turbocharged fuel injected engine in 1982
made this bike so far ahead of its time, throw in
pneumatic suspension and anti-dive forks and it
was quite a statement by Honda. Just think, when
the revolutionary Yamaha R1 came out in 1998, it
was still using carburettors. Honda only made just

G’DAY GUYS
Congrats on another excellent
edition of Unique Cars.
Seeing the orange Datsun
1600 in ‘Ones that got away’
reminded me about when I was
looking for my first car back in
the late '70’s. My dad had an XB
Falcon which I coveted, and so,
being a Ford fan, I was looking
for something similar, preferably
with a V8. Yeah, right!
Near the newsagency my dad
ran, there was a little car yard
which had a Datsun 1600 in it,
and my dad encouraged me to
have a look at it. As if the twotone navy blue and white paint
wasn’t off-putting, the automatic
gearbox definitely was! And dad
wasn’t able to steer me in the
4-cylinder direction, I settled
on a 250 6-cylinder XA Falcon,

ED: Phil, your former fleet

We are glad to hear the

memories.
SPRITE FUN
The genesis of my interest in
cars started as a nine-year-old
when my brother-in-law who
was heavily involved in the
Queensland Motor Sporting
Club (QMSC), would often take
me along to working bees when
Lakeside circuit was being
readied for opening. Lakeside
being the type of circuit that it is,
vehicle handling and cornering
were more attractive to me than
outright power.
Come the age of 17 and
the ability to drive legally, I
eventually acquired an Austin
Healy Sprite Mk IIIA. I and some
of my friends joined the Mini Car
Club in Brisbane, and navigation
runs and sprints at Lakeside
were always fun. However, my
favourite was the gymkhanas
held on the grass paddock to the
North of the circuit proper.
Chasing more power, I bought
a BMC Formula Junior motor
from Barry Broomhall who was
a noted BMC guru in Brisbane.
This motor included steel crank
and rods, austenitic valves and
major head work. Although only
998cc, it was quite powerful and
would rev to 8000rpm. However,
it was not a good street motor,
so most Friday nights my friend
Wally Bridge and I would pull
the motor out and replace it with
the hot one, using a length of
4x2 timber on our shoulders and
rope. No fancy engine cranes
in those days. And on Sunday
afternoon, the reverse occurred.
We surprised a lot of FJ drivers
in traffic-light grand prix, with
their over-bored grey motors
and twin Strombergs and 23/60
cams.

he desire to own interesting cars is not
something confined to our lifetimes
or any particular part of the world.
Famous people with fast cars
inhabited Hollywood during the
1930s, lolling on Locomobiles and
Duesenbergs while big portions of the USA
starved. And across the Atlantic, coach-built
Bentleys were racing trains.
During the 1950s and '60s, the big
accumulations started coming to light and
names synonymous with classic vehicles
rose to prominence; among them Bill
Harrah, the Schlumpfs, Shah of Persia and
the Sultan of Brunei.
Australia’s market for evocative models
has grown steadily since the 1980s,
punctuated by a few peaks and equal
numbers of troughs. However, we are a
corner store when set against the global
megamart of collector vehicle sales.
If you want to make serious money in the
car collecting realm, there are brands that
cannot be ignored. They are Ferrari, Ferrari

individual amounts above US$10 million.
Of those, four were Ferraris, with the top price being US$30
million and next best $18 million. A near-new Bugatti with $10.6
million took fifth spot.
The money paid for those cars was still well below the absolute
record price, of course. It was set in 2022 by a prototype 300SLR
straight from the Mercedes-Benz museum which made an
astonishing US$143 million.
Where money is not an issue, the significance of the vehicle you
buy takes on added importance. Hence, the wrecked and rusted
in Australia rarely reach dizzying heights, although 246GT Dinos
have over the years made 12-cylinder Boxers and similar lookers
underwhelming.
Lloyds Auctions in June featured five Ferraris dating from 1987 to
1994 and despite $162,000 being offered on a decent-looking F355,
none sold under the hammer.
Similar news came from the Shannons’ Winter Timed Auction
which ended on August 22. Four fairly recent Ferraris were offered
at starting prices that looked okay but collectively, they didn’t
attract a bid.

into an auction where it topped US$2 million. And there are cars
available closer to home and for considerably less money that offer
equal significance to someone.
At a recent auction conducted by Burns & Co. in Melbourne, an
incredibly scarce HR Premier with a 186S engine and four-speed
transmission sold for more than $100,000.
For most of us, six digits of outlay still isn’t loose change, but
whoever invested in that car now owns something far less common
than a lot of the mega-million-dollar supercars being sold offshore.
They will also now have friends for life amongst lovers of scarce
Holdens and a massive ‘call me first’ list should they ever decide
to sell.

If you sat enthralled until the conclusion of the Shannons’ event,
you would have seen the timer on their Nissan GTR Nur coupe reset
again and again as offers climbed by $100,000 in the space of 30

FERRARI 348/355/360
THE EARLIEST of these midengined Ferraris now rate as
historic cars and are eligible for
serious savings on registration.
Not that the prospect of saving
a few hundred bucks is going
to make much difference to
someone about to outlay $200K
on two seats and a Prancing
Horse.
These models followed on
from the evocative 308 and
328GTS, and are yet to match
demand for and or the surging
prices of earlier cars. Open-top
Spider versions would once
command more money than
their fixed-roof equivalents,
but recent surveys show
the coupes catching up and
sometimes overwhelming
convertibles.
Most costly are F355 models
which offered a big power gain
over the previous 348 series
(280kW vs 224kW), with six
speeds instead of five and a
minimal weight gain.
Most common and generally
the least expensive are 360
models. These when new were
slightly cheaper than the F355,
with 14kW of extra power
and improved around town
tractability.
360 Modena coupes and
Spider convertibles were
current in our market from
2000-05, and during those
36
TradeUniqueCars.com.au
years sold 70 to 75 cars
annually. Add to that some
recent private imports and we
have a market well supplied
with 360 Ferraris.
Some will have done fewer
than 1000km a year and
these generate significantly
higher prices than similar
examples that have travelled
50-80,000km more.
Imports will typically be
worth 30 per cent less than
cars delivered through a local
Ferrari agency and carrying an
Australian compliance plate.
That price premium is fair
enough too, given the relative
scarcity of Australian-spec cars
when compared with those
initially sold in other RHD
markets like Japan, the UK or
South Africa.
RHD converted cars are
scarce and not desirable,
however new import
regulations allow for growing
numbers of cars to arrive from
markets and be left untouched.
Complete service history is
non-negotiable when buying
a Ferrari. Major tasks are an
engine-out job and even with
the motor on a stand beside the
car, they demand skilled and
experienced technicians who
command big hourly labour
rates. Parts, although not
cheap, are still available.

BUICK RIVIERA
MARKETING A two-door
‘personal’ car wasn’t new
territory for Buick, but within
three years of reviving the
Riviera name, its stunning
new design was selling
45,000 cars a year into a
sector dominated by Ford’s
Thunderbird.
The 1963-65 Riviera
used engines from Buick’s
full-sized Electra range
and enclosed them in sleek
bodywork with hidden
headlights. Basic interiors
were plush, even before
selections were made from an
extensive options list which
included air-conditioning,
power windows, brushed
nylon trim, AM/FM radio and
power seat adjustment.
A GS pack added sports
wheels and uprated tyres, fast
ratio steering and a limited
slip differential. Power disc
brakes still cost extra though.
Dozens of these ‘loaded’
Rivieras were imported by
local GM dealers, converted to
right-hand drive and delivered
to special customers after
spending several days in the
showroom enticing passers-by
to pop in for a look.
Others have arrived as used
cars; some with body rust and
trim defects that had to be
fixed locally and would push
the finished cost well beyond
the money available for these
cars during the 1980s and '90s.
The 1990s editions of the
Unique Cars Value Guide
show usable 1963-65 Rivieras
priced from $13,000 to $18,500,
and later Boat-Tail versions
peaking at around $22,000.
For its Second Generation
Riviera (1966-67), GM
included a range of the
company’s most popular
styling cues including the
‘W’ front and Coke Bottle
Hip. It then abandoned any
adherence to simple elegance
or conservatism when
penning the Boat Tail.
These were sold from 197173, featuring a distinctive
wrap-over rear window and
sculpted rear styling. They
weighed a minimum of 1980kg
and needed Buick’s full-sized
7.4-litre engine to help move
them about.
Some 1970s models have
been the subject of extreme
modification and have been
seen at above $100,000 as
vendors try to recover their
outlay. Prices at that level are
unlikely to be achieved and
unsustainable if ever they are.
Of greater interest to
collectors will be Gran Sport
versions of the original
pre-1966 version, especially
in excellent, unrestored
condition. These on the US
market currently sell at more
than US$100,000, with the
highest price seen recently,
the $137,500 reported by
auction house Barrett-Jackson
at a January 2023 sale.

SILLY CAR – SERIOUS MONEY
PHOTOS MEYERS MANX/MORRIS/HONDA
CAN YOU PAY MORE FOR LESS? IT’S EASY IN THE CAR WORLD
A LONG TIME ago people
bought tiny cars for many
reasons, mainly price. Not any
more. Today, the less one gets in
a special interest car, the more it
costs. Calculating the price per
kilogram for some is horrific.
Small, basic cars have been
here for more than a century,
but gained prominence in the
1950s when the world had its
first oil shortage and petrol was
either unavailable or expensive.
Buyers wanted transport that
went further on a gallon and
brands including Vespa, Isetta,
Trojan and Messerschmitt
made cars that often had three
wheels and motorcycle engines.
The miniature 1950s car
the world embraced was Fiat’s
500 and its proper four-stroke
engine with room for at least
four occupants plus a bit of
luggage. Here it was joined by
locally bodied Goggomobils
before the Mini crushed the
market. Japan also produced
low-cost compacts like the
Mazda 360 and Subaru R-2,
which in the 1960s gave way to
more modern designs like the
Suzuki Fronte, Honda Scamp
and Zot.
Honda built tiny sports cars
with chain drive and 660cc
motorcycle engines. Later
ones had 800cc, were more
sophisticated but not much
quieter. Today we see ‘Kei’
cars arriving ex-Japan in an
array of brands, body styles
and intriguing prices. These
vehicles are all limited to
0.7-litre engines to skate around
local taxes on larger engines.
They aren’t all cheap. Nissan’s
Figaro sports car has been seen
at over $30,000, however the
Honda Beat and Suzuki Copen
are available at half that price.
Worth a look before good
ones exceed $50K are Mini
Mokes, the peak being 1275cc
Californians, but you can spend
$30,000 on 998cc versions.
MINI COOPER S
IT MEASURES 3.05 metres, weighs 690kg with both fuel
tanks full, and on a good day will manage 160km/h. Yet in top
condition, a road-spec Mini Cooper S can bring $90,000 and a
car with rally heritage sold recently in Britain for $280,000.
The Mini was minimal by intent, and simplicity plays a
significant role in soaring values. During the past 15 years the
number of available cars has remained consistent, however
quality is improving as more cars are restored.
Basic Minis had 848cc engines and 25kW. For the Cooper S
they scrounged 1275cc from the same basic block and with twin
SUs, power hit 57kW. Add lots of creative engineering and a
supercharger and Coopers with 140kW were beating V8s in local
speedway events.
Celebrity customers of coachbuilding firm Harold Radford
would send them a bare bones Cooper S and get back a Bentley
in miniature with leather and timber interiors and electric
windows. Actor Peter Sellers and Beatle Ringo Starr had theirs
converted to hatchbacks – Ringo claiming it was so the Mini
could carry his drum kit.
HONDA S600 - 800
IF YOU wanted during the 1960s to own an E-Type Jaguar but
could only afford a half-sized Japanese knock-off, then Honda’s
bantamweight coupe might have been the go.
Introduced in 1967 as a replacement for the chain driven
S600, the 800 Coupe was very much an E Type Jaguar in
miniature, complete with opening hatch to access its shallow
luggage platform.
Not quite up to E-Type standards of performance either,
but for a third of the E-Type’s cost Honda’s half-sized 800 still
mounted a serious attack on 160km/h.
Convertible versions of the chain-driven 600 are the most
common today, often without their original engines. Back when
these cars were too cheap to properly repair, a replacement
Suzuki or Toyota engine was all that saved some from the
wrecking yard. At the same time, chain drive could be replaced
by a conventional prop shaft.

MEYERS MANX BUGGY
THE PASSING in 2021 of Bruce Meyers ended a 60-year
association between the Californian boatbuilder and modified
Volkswagens that were synonymous with his name.
Lots of people since the 1960s have put fibreglass bodies on
chopped VeeDub floorpans, but Meyers did it first and arguably
did it best.
Local efforts were headed by Sydney-based J&S Fibreglass
which produced a kit for sale to anyone looking to rebody their
squashed Beetle. However, the market still craved a genuine US
import Manx and some did make their way here.
Shannons sold a tidy example a couple of years back for
$35,000, then in mid-2023 a similar car in a summery shade of
yellow apparently sold via Lloyds for under $25,000.
Manx are still an easy car to buy and jumping online to the USA
will reveal lots of genuine Meyers buggies at US$20-60,000, with
some down around US$10,000.
None, though, will match the Corvair-engined Manx driven by
actor/racer Steve McQueen in The Thomas Crown Affair. It, when
auctioned in 2020, made a record-setting US$456,000.
MESSERSCHMITT KABINROLLER
WE LIVE in interesting times and perhaps that might explain
how the local auction market in the space of just a few
weeks has managed to uncover not one but two of these
extraordinary, German made micro-cars.
First up was the luminous black example that sold for
$47,000 + charges by Lloyds in Queensland. The best looking
Kabinroller to enter the market in decades, it was likely the
most expensive before Shannons at their Winter Timed Auction
offered one with even greater shock value than the Lloyds' car
and also with its own trailer. That one was a no-sale with a high
bid of $73,000.
With a 197cc Fuchs & Sachs two-stroke engine in the back,
acceleration was appalling and top speed around 90km/h. Just
as well, as it had minimal suspension and tiny brakes.
Based around the outline of an ME109 fighter cockpit, the
KR200 sat its occupants in tandem, with a set of handlebars for
the driver and four-speed sequential shift lever poking out on
the right-hand side.
The cabin roof was hinged for easy entry, but in Australia
where lack of ventilation was a problem, some owners opted
for a folding fabric top or simply unbolted the entire unit.
GOGGOMOBIL DART
YES INDEED, the very famous, Aussie designed Dart which if you can
find a really good one will cost about the same as a Honda S2000.
So don’t joke about the late Bill Buckle’s marketing masterstroke.
Buckle wanted to build a sports car for less than the cost of a
Healey Sprite. He had all the mechanical and chassis parts from the
Goggomobil 300 sedans he was building and a fibreglassing factory
with spare capacity, so in 1958 the first Dart was built.
Weighing only 345kg it could carry two people (just) and with
11kW could reach 90km/h. Later models with a 14kW, 400cc motor
were a little faster.
The Dart had no doors but was available with a clip-on soft-top
which needed to be unclipped before anyone could get inside on
wet days, kind of defeating the purpose of having a roof.
Fibreglass construction meant the bodies didn’t rust, but the
frames did and some Goggos would survive as fishponds in
suburban front yards.
Around 700 Darts are thought to have been built and not a
lot remain running. Good ones cost over $40,000 and they will
likely remain with us for decades, being easily converted to full
electric operation.

do it with: Moto Guzzi.
Sure Guzzi had
40
TradeUniqueCars.com.au
raced before and
even produced sports
models, but the reality
is the transverse V-twin
shaft drive platform was
far better suited to GT
and touring bikes.
As it turned out Dr
John was pretty quick
as a rider but his bike
development skills were
stronger. Eventually
he saw the sense
of bringing in some
riding talent. In 1987
that took the shape
of Doug Brauneck, an
A-grader with a good
local reputation, who
rewarded the team with
an AMA Battle of Twins
championship in 1987.
Yep, on a Guzzi.
The good doctor’s
work had caught the
factory’s attention some
years back and, by
1987, it was providing
technical support.
However full credit
for the extraordinary
development of a oneoff set of four-valve
heads for the historic
twin goes to Wittner.
Perhaps the biggest
shock was the initial
1992 price – an eyewatering $23,000. This
was at a time when
MARKET NEWS
MIXED FORTUNES met the sellers at a recent
Shannons auction, with some hero bikes pulling very
good prices. However this and other sales around
the globe suggest British bikes have largely gone
off the boil. For example, a 1972 X-75 Triumph Vetter
Hurricane in exceptional unrestored condition, and
with very good provenance, went for $40,500.
That’s solid money in anyone’s language, but we
have in the past seen equivalent machines go for 50
per cent more in a peak market. By way of contrast,
there was good news for the seller of a Vincent
Rapide. Running a 1948 engine in a 1951 frame and
requiring recommissioning, it went for an impressive
$71,000, far more than it would have fetched in the
UK. More at AllMoto.com.
the just-released Honda
Fireblade of the same year
was priced at $12,700.
The Daytona’s price did
eventually wind back
closer to $20k, but it was
never mistaken for a cheap
motorcycle and, as a result,
few were sold.
Urge was a claimed
102hp, making it easily the
most powerful Guzzi to
date. Despite that it wasn’t
terribly peaky, though it
didn’t have quite the rich
vein of mid-range offered
by the later 1100 Sport.
This qualifies as Italian
exotica and the chances of
you going anywhere and
finding another one parked
next to yours are slim in
the extreme. Looked after,
they also happen to be a
fun ride.

2004 LAMBO MURCIELAGO
LAMBORGHINI’S
flagship Murcielago
had an extraordinary
nine-year model life,
selling 4099 units. This
was by no means the
company’s top-seller,
but it pointed the way
to what was significant
volume for the boutique
maker.
Its 630hp 6.2lt V12 is
matched to a six-speed
sequential-shift manual
transmission.
The marque’s
beginnings are the stuff
of legend. In a feature
on the seminal Miura,
42
we noted: “Ferruccio
Lamborghini didn’t set
out to build the most
desirable supercar of
its era, perhaps of any
era. His business was
building tractors...
Lamborghini turned his
talents to funding a car
that would match and
perhaps one day beat
Ferrari at its own game.”
This example is
reported to have under
16,000km on the odo
and is with Lorbek in
Melbourne, priced at
$399,880.

1992 CORVETTE C4
LONG, LOW and
sleek – the vast
majority of Corvette
generations have made
a visual statement that’s
impossible to miss.
The introduction of the
C4 was delayed for the
best part of a year, while
Chevrolet settled in with
the manufacture of the
new generation.
In our feature on
C4s: “’We were trying to
figure out how to bring
the car back to date in
all aspects,’ said David
McLellan, chief engineer
for the Corvette at the
44
time. ‘There was new
technology that hadn’t
been used in Chevrolet
or in any automotive
application yet.’”
The model underwent
some significant
power upgrades over
time, which would
have benefited this
5.7lt variant. With just
62,000 miles claimed,
it’s running an auto
transmission and is said
to be in exceptional
condition.
It’s with Pennant Hills
Auto in Sydney, priced at
$49,990. Tel 02 8279 7029.

1956 AUSTIN HEALEY 100M
THERE SEEMS to be
a period in the fifties
and early sixties (last
century) when the Brits
were producing some
eye-popping sports cars.
Names such as MGA,
E-type and Austin Healey
spring to mind.
In a feature on this
model, John Bowe
noted: “The gorgeous
lines penned by Gerry
Coker remained largely
unchanged until
production ceased
in 1967, with many
enthusiasts believing
46
the original 2660cc
four-banger to be the
purest iteration of Donald
Healey’s vision.”
Under the bonnet
was a big 2.6lt inline
four and in the case of
the upgraded 100M,
a four-speed manual
transmission.
This example has had
a comprehensive local
rebuild and is reported to
be in excellent shape. It’s
with the Healey Factory
in Melbourne, priced at
$210,000.

1966 LOTUS TRIBUTE
SHOULD THE mood
take you to get a sixties
car with a strong
motorsport connection,
a MkI Ford Cortina
would be a good choice.
In a feature on the
MkI we note: “In
Europe, where the small
car has always been
king, Ford has had some
kind of mortgage on
small-car performance.
Sure, Renault Gordinis
and Fiat Abarths (and
many others) came and
went in small numbers
and the Volkswagen
Golf GTI invented the
48
hot hatch, but way
back in the 1960s,
Ford was building
high-performance
small cars that took the
motorsport world by
storm.”
Because the real
thing is in short supply
and prices are very high,
tributes have become a
popular option.
It’s running a worked
1640cc inline four with
a four-speed manual.
Located in Bargo,
NSW, it’s on the market
at $42,500.

BMW’S E30 M3 was

In a feature on
the model we noted:
“The M3 was built for

1974 FORD XB GT
THERE’S ONE
guaranteed way to get
local can enthusiasts
worked up: Go and
unearth a desirable car
that’s been hidden in
a shed for decades. As
the folk at Muscle Car
Warehouse in Sydney
correctly point out, these
finds seem to become
more difficult over time.
In this case it’s an
XB GT with 351 V8 and
four-speed manual, in
Pepper Red.
As for the XB series,
our feature points out: “If
52
you fancy getting into a
passionate debate, go to
a local Ford show, look
for the XA-XB-XC owners
and ask them which one
looks best. Take a fire
hose, as you may need
it to quell the resultant
furore.”
This example is
reported to be in
remarkably good shape,
is running, original and
looks like it will require
relatively little work to
get back on the road. It’s
priced at $125,000.

1966 HOLDEN HR
WHILE THE 1960s is
a very long time ago,
a lot of the cars out of
that era are still doing
good service, mostly as
weekend toys. In the
case of your average
HD-HR Holden, a wellmaintained one can
be a surprisingly good
companion on a long
trip.
The HR represents
local car manufacturing
in its heyday.
According to our
feature on the HD-HR
series: “During a
combined lifespan of
37 months more than
430,000 HD and HR
Holdens were made.”
The owner of this car
says it is not perfect but is
in good overall condition.
It’s running a 161ci (2.6lt)
six with three-speed
column-shift manual and
comes with its original
registration plates out of
Victoria.
Located near Ballarat,
it’s on the market at

1956 FORD CUSTOMLINE
FORD’S locallyassembled Customline
range became something
of a legend among
Australian customers
keen to have something
with plenty of room and
decent power. An ideal
tow vehicle, and popular
as a police car, it etched
itself into local motoring
folklore.
According to our
feature on the series:
“The company strategy
first shifted up a gear in
1955, with an all-new
Customline range. This
car cleverly side-stepped
54
costly annual US changes
from 1957 and supported
a unique Australian range
until early ‘59. By starting
with the up-to-the-minute
1955 US model and
facelifting it every year,
Ford avoided Chrysler’s
doomed and dogged
dependence on dated
1953 US models.”
This example is a 1956
model featuring a 272ci
(4.5lt) Y-block V8 with
three-speed column-shift
manual transmission.
Located in Bright, Vic, it’s
on the market at $32,500.

1972 RAMBLER JAVELIN
BILLED AS one of two
of AMC’s entries into
the pony car market, the
Javelin was effectively the
corporation’s answer to
giants of the sector such
as Mustang and Camaro.
According to our feature
on its two-seater sibling
the AMX: “It (the AMX)
was always designed as
a short-wheelbase car,
but AMC management
figured that a two-seater
would have too limited
a market. They put an
extra foot of wheelbase
in it and a pair of rear
seats and called it
Javelin.”
This example is
running the premium
401ci (6.6lt) V8 with auto
transmission. It’s been
accessorised and the
engine bay presentation
is exceptional.
The targa-roof car is
an Australian assembly
– Ramblers were built
here for many years
through AMC. It claims
just two previous owners
and is with Muscle Car
Warehouse at $95,000.

1976 FORD LTD
FORD’S P6 generation
LTD is regarded by some
enthusiasts as the first
‘proper’ locally-made
limousine – though we
admit this may be up for
debate.
In any case the big
cruisers stand out and
have been proven to be
exceptional long-distance
cars thanks in part to the
5.8lt V8 up front.
In a feature on the P6
series we noted: “Made
from 1976 through to
early 1979, they shared a
58
lot of componentry with
the Falcon and Fairlane
ranges, but visually
went all-out to get away
from the Falcon look.
Buyers said they wanted
something distinctive and
that’s what they got.
“Some 5900 LTDs of this
generation were made.”
This example is based
in Bunbury, WA, and
is being handled by
Australian Muscle Car
Sales. It’s on the market for
$35,000.

1979 LOTUS
S ECLAT
COLIN CHAPMAN’S
Lotus marque was
famous for many
things, but there
was nevertheless an
underlying theme of light
and nimble cars.
The Eclat is perhaps
one of the less-known
models, built in several
variants from 1975
through to 1982.
Running a 2.0lt and
then 2.2lt inline four, they
ran three transmissions:
a four- and five-speed
manual, plus a
60
three-speed auto.
Construction was
typical for the brand at
the time, with a fibreglass
body over a steel chassis.
Press reviews of the
day complimented the
model on its grip and
handling – always Lotus
strengths.
This example is a 523
variant with 2.0lt engine
and five-speed manual.
It’s with Prestige Motor
Gallery in Sydney, priced
at $37,990.

AUSTRALLIA’S BIGGEST SELLER, A CAR OF THE YEAR
AND BATHURST WINNER, THE GEMINI SPAWNED MANY
LIMITED EDITION MODELS LIKE THE ZZ/Z
here aren’t many Holden Geminis left these days,
due to the ravages of time, rust and racing, but over
a 10-year period, Holden made almost a quarter of a
million of them.
Born out of the '70s oil crisis and the need for more
fuel-efficient vehicles, the first-generation Holden
Gemini was built exclusively at Holden’s Acacia Ridge plant
in Queensland, from 1975 – the year Australia got colour TV
— to 1984.
The Gemini was Australia’s best-selling car in 1975 with
a starting price of $4026 and over its journey, picked up
Bathurst class wins and a car of the year gong.

TradeUniqueCars.com.au
Over its decade in production, the Gemini was available
as a sedan, coupe, van and wagon, initially with a petrol and
later a diesel engine option, across six model designations
TX, TC, TD, TE, TF and TG.
The TX was the first Gemini and came as a four-door
sedan in two trim levels, S and SL, and a two-door SL coupe.
It had a 63kW 1.6-litre SOHC four-cylinder engine with
a crossflow alloy head and breathed through a single
twin-throat carburettor. The gearbox choice was a four-speed
manual or three-speed auto. It came with 13-inch wheels
and had front disc brakes.
Offered as an option on the TX was the ‘Fashion Pack’ with

its plaid-seat and door trims.
March 1977 saw the debut
of the TC range sporting a new
grille, a silver rear panel along
with a new ventilation system.
The ‘Fashion Pack’ option was
again offered and upgraded to
include steel-belt radial tyres, a
front stabiliser bar, as well as the
snazzier trim.
‘Sandpiper’ was the next
option pack debuting on the TC.
It featured a black grille with
chrome top, gold pinstripes,
a bird decal and the word
64
TradeUniqueCars.com.au
Sandpiper on its flanks. Inside
was chequered cloth seat inserts
and door trims, fake woodgrain
dash garnish, a radio/cassette
player and a four-spoke steering
wheel.
The TD Gemini arrived
in showrooms in April 1978
introducing a three-door wagon
and two-door van, a luxury
focused SL/E variant, optional
five-slot manual and while not
an option, the arrival of Radial
Tuned Suspension, (RTS)
transforming the ride
and handling.
The TD gave birth to the
limited edition ‘Gypsy Pack’ that
included additional instruments
along with Gypsy decals
all-round.
Next came the model
heralding the biggest visual
change since the Gemini
was born. The TE arrived in
October '79 with new front and
rear styling mimicking the VB
Commodore that launched a
year earlier. The TE’s arrival also
saw the demise of the coupe.
The ‘Gypsy Pack’ made
another appearance in the TE
range, and from March 1981
buyers could opt for a diesel
engine and five-speed manual,
but it didn’t prove very popular.
The facelifted TF rolled off
Holden’s production line in
March 1982, and this time it
was the interior that came
in for a major revamp, while
the exterior was purposefully
styled to resemble a baby VH

HOLDEN GEMINI
TX-TG MARKET GUIDE
DURING THE 1960s and years prior, Australia’s small-car
market had been a bastion of all things British.
The British Motor Corporation ruled, with assistance
from Ford, Vauxhall, Hillman and Standard. By 1975,
though, Japanese brands had taken huge chunks out of
the local car market and every chance that Holden would
source its next compact model from Japan. Or Japan via
Europe.
Isuzu Gemini was Opel’s Kadett in smarter clothes
and with a better engine. Isuzu said no to the Euro car’s
underwhelming 1.2-litre engine and went straight to the
optional 1.6-litre.
It had a single overhead-camshaft and 61kW, with lots
of potential for development as local Gemini enthusiasts
would soon discover. Although it wasn’t offered here,
there was also a twin-cam. Transmission choices were
four-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission
and front disc brakes were standard.
The TX Gemini sold here from 1975-77 took small-car
design to new levels. It looked smart and while it was
plain inside, it was roomy and also handled well. Response
from the market was instantaneous with the Gemini
hounding the similarly-priced Corolla SL and Ford Escort
for sales superiority.
The Gemini sedan weighed just 935kg, came with
responsive rack and pinion steering, front disc brakes and
all-coil suspension. With the right tyres, springs and shock
absorbers they could be turned with minimal outlay in to
an entertaining road or competition car.
Hundreds of Geminis raced in the hugely popular
Queensland Gemini Series. This began as a one-make race
supporting the Australian Grand Prix in 1975 and became
a regular feature of the motor sporting calendar from
1980 until the present day.
Minimal change accompanied the March 1977 release
of a TC version. Then a few months later there emerged
a two-tone, limited production Sandpiper with automatic
transmission and alloy wheels as standard inclusions.
The Gemini range remained as sedan and coupe until
the arrival of TD models in mid-1978. Nothing even then
changed in terms of styling or performance, but the range
did expand to include a panel van and station wagon
(two-door) plus an SL/E version of the sedan.
It lasted only until early 1979 when an emissioncontrolled version of the 1.6 engine was introduced and
the model re-designated SL/X.
Engine output continued to fall, with buyers of the TE
version that arrived in October 1979 expected to make
do with 50kW. Worse was to come in 1981 with the
appearance of a 40kW Gemini diesel.
Geminis, with the exception of early TX sedans and
all the coupes, remain affordable but don’t rely on them
remaining that way forever.
TX coupes and the limited production Sandpiper
two-door have been advertised at above $30,000 and
outstanding cars can make that money. Modified Geminis
are available at or above $20,000 but are unlikely
to appreciate at the same rate as a standard car in
exceptional condition.
Others with the potential to grow in value include the
scarce Gypsy panel van and the heavily-embellished Z/ZZ
and CDT sedans. If you’re hanging on to one of those, be
prepared for plenty of interest from Gemini enthusiasts.

rolled down the production
line, the final model of the
first generation, the TG, took
centre stage. It still had the
same Isuzu 1.6-litre four from
the original model with power
sapped to a lowly 49kW due to
the introduction of ADR27A
emissions laws.
There were no styling
changes, with the TG SL and
SL/X Geminis both wearing the
same flush headlights, plastic
bumpers and tail-lights as its
predecessor.
However, with the TG range
66
TradeUniqueCars.com.au
came the ZZ/Z. A performance
themed, cosmetically enhanced
model hamstrung by the
standard Gemini running
gear and offered only with a
five-speed manual.
Based on the up-spec SL/X
variant, the ZZ/Z was marketed
by the General as the Gemini
that ‘oozes excitement’ and ‘for
people who love to own a car
that reflects their individuality’.
The ZZ/Z came in one
colour, Mercury Silver and
featured a body kit comprising
a bootlid spoiler, front air dam,
a black grille and black window
surrounds, silver bumpers,
several ZZ/Z stickers, plus wind
splitters on the front guards, and
13x5-inch white alloys.
Inside, the seats and door
cards wore a herringbone cloth
trim and the instrument cluster
had a speedo, tacho, fuel temp,
oiI and volt gauges, plus a digital
clock. Also, standard was an
AM/FM stereo cassette player
and a laminated tinted-band
windscreen.
In 1984, Holden closed its
Acacia Ridge plant after Gemini
production totalling 226,319
units, had come to a halt.
A Family Affair
Ken Harris is the proud owner
of this Gemini ZZ/Z having
acquired it from his cousin who
bought it new and was driven by
Ken’s cousins wife.
“I just liked the way Holden
had jazzed the ZZ/Z up with
the silver paint, rear spoiler,
alloy wheels, nicer interior and
better instrumentation,” said
Ken. “It stood out from the other

“THE ONLY PROBLEM WITH THE TRIPLE Z,” SAYS KEN,

Geminis and looked upmarket
and sporty.”
Unfortunately, an illness to
Ken’s cousins wife meant she
had to forfeit her licence and
the car sat idle for a time. Ken
mentioned his interest in the
car and asked his cousin for first
dibs on buying it.
About three years ago, Ken
was passing by and saw his
cousin and his wife and again
mentioned if he wanted to sell it,
to let him know.
“My cousin had an
attachment to the car and said
he wanted it to remain in the
family, after giving it to me,” Ken
said. “I promised him it would
always stay in the family.”
Ken trailered the ZZ/Z to
Melbourne and knocked it in to
roadworthy condition. He gave
it a thorough service, with new
fluids, filters and lubricants, a
new rear slave cylinder, replaced
the ball joints and threw on a
new set of boots. The old tyres
had loads of tread but were 10
years old, hard as rocks and well
past their prime.
Ken tackled a few rust
spots along the bottoms of the
doors, which weren’t too bad.
“Thankfully, my cousin had
taken the option of rustproofing
when he bought the car new,
which is a wise move as Geminis
and rust go together,” says Ken.
“The paintwork was quite dull

so I started looking around to
get it resprayed.
“The first quote was $20,000,
the next, $18,000. I found that
astronomical so decided to fix
it myself.
“I got rid of the rust, gave it a
cut and polish and got a can of
touch-up Mercury Silver, and it
came up pretty well.”
Ken says the ZZ/Z gets lots
of looks and comments, even
a Porsche driver gave him the
thumbs up as he went by.
“Gemini fans love it,” says
Ken.
68
TradeUniqueCars.com.au
“I was in Ferntree Gully one
time and a car swung in next to
me. The guy jumped out and
was really surprised as he’d
never seen one. Another time,
I stopped at roadworks and the
lollipop guy came over and was
asking where I got it and how
he had a Gemini when he was
younger.”
Ken reckons the Gemini ZZ/Z
is a great little car and handles
corners very well, though he
admits the RTS helps. “The only
problem with the triple Z,” says
Ken, “is it should have had the

twin-cam motor in it, but it has
the old 1600 motor which is
okay, but the first hill you see,
you go back a gear. It is a bit
underpowered. I describe it as
a sheep in wolf’s clothing,”
he laughs.
There’s no chance Ken will
part with the Gemini now or
in the future, as the long-term
plan, agreed with his cousin
when he acquired it, is to keep it
in the family.
GEMINI IN MOTORSPORT
PHOTO AUTOPICS.COM.AU
IN 1979 Peter Brock and
Jim Richards won the
Bathurst 1000 in their Holden
Torana A9X by six laps or
37 kilometres. It was an
overwhelming victory that
has never been repeated.
That same year a 0-1600cc
class was introduced and
it was tailor-made for the
Gemini, which filled the top
four places, in an equally
impressive display.
The Japanese-made Isuzu
Gemini coupe won the
1.6-litre class again in 1980,
the second and last time
the 0-1600cc class was run,
while an imported four-door
sedan Isuzu version, made its
debut in the 1600-2000cc
class.
It was fitted with a more
powerful 1.8-litre twin-cam
four, taking on Toyota
Celicas, Ford Escorts and
various Alfettas, but only
lasted 18 laps before retiring.
For the 1981 Bathurst
enduro, HDT Special Vehicles
entered a twin-cam Gemini
for Phil Brock and Gary
Scott, getting as high as third
in class before diff failure
on lap 36. Another ZZ/R
Gemini got caught up in
the race-ending crash at
McPhillamy Park.
Regulations eventually
rendered the Gemini
uncompetitive and in 1983
a Gemini made its last
appearance at Bathurst,
finishing fourth in class.
Before a Gemini turned
a wheel at Bathurst, Calder
Park ran a series for them,
and in Queensland a Gemini
Series exists to this day.
While the Gemini was
seen as the successor to
the Torana XU-1 in rallying,
it never achieved the same
success and after four
seasons, the program was
abandoned.

Rust and poorly

damage are
the factors that
will separate an

Gemini from a
‘project’. Some cars
will carry the legacies
of rough repairs
carried out at home or

at the reinforcements
between the bulkhead

mudguards, inner

and C-Pillars on
sedans and coupes.
Rust or poor repair
in these areas may
make anything, other
than an early car,
too costly to rescue.

scarce, although the

Plenty of smart

so tapping in to the

is sensible. Parts
including springs and

available, and parts
for a full rebuild will
cost $1000 to 1500.
Once completed

likely to last 15 years.
Disc front/drum rear
brakes are adequate,
parts to upgrade not
expensive. Squealing
discs that take a lot
of pressure before

have their problems
remedied via a quick
skim, however a new
pair of rotors costs
less than $200.
INTERIOR &
ELECTRICS
If you can find a
Gemini with a crackfree dash, then buy it
and worry about the
rest later. Australian
sun did bad things
to European-spec
plastics and finding a
car without a cracked
and crumbling
interior is good
news. Seats were
flimsy and thinly
padded, so perhaps
budget for a retrim
with more resilient
foam padding. New
vinyl headlining for
sedans costs $170 to
$290 with vans and
wagons up to $550.
The used market
turned up a set of
nice TD sedan door

opportunities like
that are rare. Gauges

longer made new,
but new old-stock
Isuzu column stalks
have been seen at

WORDS DAVE MORLEY/CLIFF CHAMBERS PHOTOS MARK BEAN
epending on who you talk to, Chrysler’s
Pacer concept of the late 1960s was either
A: A catch-up reaction to the success of
competitors like Monaros and Falcon
GTs, or; B: So far ahead of the curve that it
wouldn’t be until the Falcon XR6 almost a
quarter century later that a full-sized, six-cylinder
performance car would match the Pacer’s intent
and marketing direction. Or get anywhere near the
Mopar’s cool factor.
But whichever way you cut the deck, when the
Pacer we’re discussing is a genuine, numbersmatching Bathurst homologation special (in this
case, an E31) even if it never won Bathurst, that
distinction puts this car up there in the pantheon of
Aussie homologation specials. Yep, as far as we’re
concerned right up there with the likes of GT-HO
Falcons, XU-1 Toranas and S4 EH Holdens.
Don’t get us wrong, all GTs, EHs and Torries are
cooler than a well-digger’s backside. But when
they appear before us, bearing the option codes
and equipment that stamps them as one of the 200
cars demanded by CAMS to bring those options to
racetracks in Australia in the '60s and '70s, then we
come to the overall opinion that we’re-not-worthy.
But let’s backtrack a little first. While Holden and
Ford were making the '60s special by cranking out
local hotties with V8 engine options and all sorts of
stripes and lairy wheel-trims, Chrysler found itself
standing at the edge of the dance floor, looking at
its shoes. Its answer to all of this (and this is where
the catch-up strategy theory emerges) was to grab
a four-door VF Valiant, spice up the 225 slant-six a
little and whack on some 100 mile-an-hour stripes.

Changes to the engine
included a little more

exhaust system. Move the
three-speed shifter to the floor
and, bingo, you had yourself
a car that could top a genuine
offering a two-door as well as
the four-door, although chat in
the day was that the four-door
was a fraction lighter and
more rigid than the big coupe.
Consequently, most Pacers that
got raced were four-doors.
To give the big girl a

ton with ease and, since it was
at least 150kg lighter than a '69
Falcon GT or Monaro, made
more of its 130kW than you
might imagine. It was also a steal
at under $2800. The die was cast.
Enter the VG Valiant for 1970
and the big news is all about the
new Hemi six, this time around
in 4.0-litre, 245 cube form. This
time, Chrysler was a bit braver,
fighting chance against the V8
competition, the factory offered
the Pacer in street form as well
as digging out a couple of `E’
options, in this case, the E31
and E34. The difference? Not as
much as you might think, and
more or less boiling down to a
two-barrel Carter on the E31 and
a four-barrel on the E34. Other

LATE 1960S Australia was a place where buyers
wanted affordable performance cars but were making
do with half-baked hot rods.
Holden helped by offering a 186S engine in its GTS
Monaro and Ford had the GT Cortina, but the game
didn’t change until the country’s most conservative
carmaker made a move that the others had been
avoiding.
Chrysler Australia’s answer was the ‘youth market’
Pacer. It appeared in 1969 as part of the VF range;
a basic Valiant sedan with sporty additions priced
at $2795 when a GTS186S was $3423. It came in
a limited range of colours with 130kW where the
basic 225 engine made 108kW, three-on-the-floor
manual transmission, tall ‘tombstone’ seats and a loud
exhaust.
A year later came the gently remodelled VG with a
new ‘Hemi Six’ engine. It was still a three-speed but
with the looks and performance to rip sales away from
Holden’s Monaro and GTR Torana and maybe even
tempt a few V8 Falcon buyers.
The basic engine was a 4.0-litre, 245 cubic inch
‘six’ with a two-barrel (2bbl) carburettor and 138kW.
Chrysler’s new engine was an outstanding piece of
equipment and a reason on its own to buy a Pacer.
Those who specified it in 4bbl ‘competition’ trim got
157kW and a serious boost to performance, but very
few of those cars were sold.
Pacers came in a special range of colours too, with
clever names like Little Hood Riding Red, Bondi Bleach
White and Vitamin C Orange helping enhance the
experience for younger buyers.
Inside, the VF’s distinctive seats had been swapped
for more conventional buckets and the ventilation
system improved. The VG dash was redesigned to
accommodate an inbuilt tachometer and there were
extra safety features including a matt-black ‘anti-glare’
bonnet.
Kelsey-Hayes front disc brakes were standard on
Pacers as were radial-ply tyres. Transmission was allsynchromesh with the nifty floor shift and a tall finaldrive ratio that gave 2bbl cars a top speed of 182km/h
and also helped with fuel economy.
At the 1970 Bathurst 500 event where Pacers with
two and four-barrel carburettors were entered, the
more economical 2bbl cars saved on pit stops and
finished a lap ahead of the thirsty 4bbl.
VGs were the only Pacer available as a sedan or
two-door Hardtop. In two-door form, the Pacer came
only with the 2bbl engine but cost still cost $300
more than a sedan.
Looking back at the 2013 Muscle Car Value Guide,
we found four VG Pacer sedans at an average of
$30,250 and seven Hardtops at $28,490. By late 2022,
the money being sought had more than doubled, with
sedans advertised at an average around $60,000 and
a couple of Hardtops above $80,000.
Those trends continued into 2023, when an
outstanding Hardtop would make more than $100,000
at auction and a decent sedan reached $55,000.

oil starvation in corners at race
pace, and even a smaller fan to
reduce drag on the engine (and,
presumably, help prevent the fan
flying to bits during prolonged
high-rpm use, like Con-Rod
Straight, f’rinstance).
And because this was the
1970s, your choices didn’t
stop with the engine options,
because Chrysler also invited
you to make your Pacer even
more track-ready with a range of
other options, one of the most
prized these days being the J42
big-tank deal. This wasn’t just a
slightly bigger tank, it was a full
35 gallons (159 mother-loving
litres) and even sported a filler
mounted horizontally on the
rear quarter.
And let’s not forget the A84
option package otherwise
known as the Track Pack.
This got you a close-ratio
gearbox (still three-speed
though) a heavy-duty tailshaft,
deleted the front disc inner
shields, finned drums on the
rear, a brake proportioning
valve, six-inch-wide rims and
heavy-duty front shocks.
Did it all work? Yes, indeed.
Not only did E31 Pacers finish
fourth and fifth outright in the
1970 Bathurst classic (ahead
of the faster E34, see sidebar)
genuine Track Pack cars have
gone on to become bona
fide homologation-special
collectibles. Okay, so maybe
the Pacer is a late bloomer, but
prices and desirability are deffo
on the up.
Take the car on these pages
for example. What you’re looking
at here is a genuine E31, A84
Track Pack car with the too-coolfor-school J42 big tank option.
This particular car also scored
from new the A88 stripe option,
the T14 high-speed radial-tyre
option and the D53 3.23:1
limited-slip diff option.
Although the body was
(sympathetically) restored in the
1990s, the people responsible
took a huge amount of care to
re-use whatever original bits
and pieces they could. That
mission was helped by the fact
that the car still sports matching
numbers on the engine block
and three-speed gearbox. But
even inside what could be saved,
was, including the original door
cards, dash-pad, gauges, roof
lining, steering wheel and, of
course, the AM radio.
Even under the bonnet where
the car has also been fully
restored, saving what was already
there was key. So, even though
the ignition system is new, any
replacement parts such as the
single exhaust system retain the
designs and styling cues (like
the square exhaust tip) of the
genuine article. And what didn’t
need to be replaced, wasn’t.

ONE OF the great What-The moments of motor
racing happened when the 2bbl E31 Pacers finished
better than the 4bbl E34 versions at the 1970 Bathurst
classic. In fact, the 2bbl cars finished fourth and fifth
outright, while the best of the 4bbls finished seventh
and fifteenth outright. So what’s the story there? How
does a supposedly superior mechanical package get
its ears boxed by a car cheap enough to be in the
next-price-down category (as Bathurst was divvied up
in those days)?
If you listen to the pub chat, it was a simple case of
the 2bbl Pacers using less fuel per lap which, over the
course of 500 miles at Bathurst, meant less time in
the pits. But rather than accept that on face value, we
asked Chrysler guru and owner of Rallis Race Engines,
George Rallis what the real story was. And, it turns
out, there’s a lot more going on than fuel consumption
differences.
“Back then, Chrysler was finding out new things as it
went along,” says George from his Sydney workshop.
“This was the start of their racing scene and, for the
4bbl VG Pacers, they used a twin-plate clutch which
they hadn’t used up until then. The 2bbl still used a
single-plate clutch.”
“The inertia of the heavier twin-plate clutch
combined with a design fault in the crankshaft, was
causing harmonics from one end of the crank to the
other. The harmonic balancer they were using wasn’t
up to the task; it wasn’t absorbing enough vibration
and that was hurting the timing chain. That’s why the
2bbl finished ahead at Bathurst.”
George also told us that when Chrysler started
filling customer orders for road-going 4bbl Pacers,
they’d figured out the problem and had brewed up a
pretty crude fix.
“They did, let’s say, a bit of a band-aid fix and
screwed a metal ring around the outside of the
harmonic balancer. That’s why, when they got to the
six-pack Chargers, which also ran a twin-plate clutch,
they have a really deep, heavy harmonic balancer.
It’s still a band-aid to cover up the design flaw in the
crankshaft, but it did the trick and they got away with
it.”
But that’s not the only reason the 2bbl made for a
better race-car. Oh, no.
“The 4bbl was really fast in a straight line, but when
you got it into a corner, got it turned and put your
foot down again, there was this huge flat spot. It was
because the carb was mounted east-west, but the
flat spot meant you couldn’t drive it cleanly out of a
corner. In their (the drivers’) heads, they had to hit
the accelerator about a second before they wanted
the power to come on. It made the 4bbls much more
finicky to drive.”
And what about the fuel efficiency theory? George
isn’t so sure.
“I couldn’t say one way or the other, but if you look
at it, when you have to be changing tyres and brakes
over a race distance like Bathurst, wouldn’t you have
plenty of time to add some fuel as well?”

T
he two most significant Fords of all
time are the Model T and the Mustang.
Both are automotive and societal icons,
game changers and groundbreakers.
The Mustang is one of Ford’s longest
running nameplates that celebrates its
60th birthday next year, and straight out of the
blocks in April 1964 it was an instant classic,
and not just in America.
Our passion for the Mustang can be partly
explained by its success in the Australian
Touring Car Championship from 1965 to 1972;
the pinnacle of all those Mustangs competing
being Allan Moffat’s Trans Am, one of only
seven built.
The Mustang’s starring role on the big and
small screens has further ingrained it as a
classic.
But the overriding factor for our love affair
with the Mustang is that until late 2015,

they weren’t sold here as an
ongoing model.
When Ford Australia
announced it was getting the
Mustang some 51 years after
the nameplate hit US streets,
Ford dealers were teeming
with eager buyers throwing
wads of cash to secure one.
Since then, almost 35,000
have been sold.
So, this begs the question,
will this latter day Mustang
become a classic in the future?
That is open to debate and
time will tell, however there
are two versions that are a
pretty sure bet: The 2018
Bullitt and the 2021 Mach 1,
both based on the FN Series

limited to just 700
units in Australia.
Paying homage to
the iconic Steve McQueen
movie Bullitt, Ford Australia
revealed that come October
2018 buyers could get their
hands on a third-generation
Bullitt Mustang.
The $73,688 Bullitt, like the
Hollywood smash
hit movie was an
instant hit, selling
out in no time.
And like the original
movie car 50 years earlier,
the 2018 Bullitt is instantly

badge at the back in place
of the ‘GT’ and gloss-black
19-inch Torq Thrust-style
alloys.
Inside, there are Bullitt scuff
plates, green stitching on the
doors and dash, a numbered
dash plaque, a Bullitt steering
wheel boss and the white cue
ball gear knob, all guaranteed
to light up the face of any
McQueen and Bullitt movie
fan.
If you want to go the whole
hog, you could order the only
option available for the Bullitt,
Recaro sports seats, giving the
interior extra chutzpah.
BELOW
Mach 1 turns heads
in orange hue.
The mods to the Bullitt
weren’t confined to cosmetics
either. For starters, you could
only get it with a manual
gearbox like the original car
McQueen drove. In the case
of the 2018 version, it was a
six-slotter.
Underneath, the Bullitt
scores stiffer shocks, bigger
stabiliser bars, and new
rear axle cross-axis joint.
MagnaRide adaptive damping
is added. All this gives the
Bullitt and its MacPherson
strut front and multi-link
rear suspension layout a big
step-up in ride and handling.
Brembo brakes provide
excellent stopping power.
The already considerable
power of the five-litre
fuel-injected, DOHC with
VVT, V8 has been further
increased by six kilowatts from
339kW to 345kW at 7500rpm,
primarily due to an intake
manifold sourced from the
Shelby GT350, an open airbox
and a larger 87mm throttle
body (up from 82mm). Torque
remains at a decent 556NM at
4600rpm.
There’s a rev-matching
function for downshifting,
a four-mode active valve
exhaust along with selectable
drive and steering modes.
Naturally the Bullitt comes
with all the safety, infotech
and creature comforts of the
GT Mustang.
But the Bullitt you see
here ups the ante further
with the addition of the Steve
McQueen Edition pack. A
re-engineering kit developed
jointly by renowned Mustang
specialists Steeda, alongside
Chad McQueen and sold here
by Mustang Motorsport.
Providing sizable chassis,
suspension and drivetrain
upgrades, the McQueen pack
is designed and manufactured
to meet certified US standards.
Suspension improvements
include welded solid billet
ends on the sway bars, with
aluminium billet mounts, IRS
subframe bushing, alignment
kit and support brace,
dual rate springs, camber
plates, bump steer kit and a
K-member support brace.
The engine is boosted to
368kW, a short-throw gear
shifter added along with
an uprated clutch and the
McQueen edition, rolls on
stunning 20x10-inch front
and 20x11-inch rear alloys
wrapped in sticky low-profile
rubber.
However, if that isn’t
enough grunt to satisfactorily
shred your rear tyres there
is a Whipple supercharger
providing a stratospheric 825

Graham Bell is the proud
owner of this beautiful Steve
McQueen Edition Bullitt. He’s
a life member of the Mustang
Owners Club of Victoria and
has owned more than 20
Mustangs over the past 40
years.
His first Mustang was one
of the handful of 1966 coupes
brought in by Ford Australia.
This was followed by a '68
GTA, a '69 Shelby GT500 and a
couple of '66 GT350 Shelbys.
Graham’s stable currently
houses the Bullitt, a 2007
GT500 Shelby and a Mustang
FR 500C, essentially a turnkey
race car built by Ford Racing,
that Graham competes in.
Then there’s a '65 Fastback
rally car Graham also uses in
competition.
“I’ve been around Mustangs
for a long time and still
thoroughly enjoy them.
“My love for the Mustang

“Chad McQueen, Steve’s

and between them they saw
this car as an opportunity to

make a few bob and bring
Steve McQueen to the fore
after 50 years.
“It’s a limited-edition pack
that is quite expensive and
enhances the car considerably.
If you want to push a car hard
or do track days, it is worth
putting the pack on.
“I made the investment in
the pack as I believe it will
enhance the collectability of
the car.
“When I sit in my shed and
take the cover off the Bullitt
and kick back with a Guinness
and look at it, I reckon life has
been pretty good to me.”
The Mustang Mach 1
nameplate pays homage to
Chuck Yeager, the first pilot to
break the sound barrier. The
Mach 1 is a very different beast
to the standard GT, being the
most track-focused Mustang
to date.
Under the vented bonnet
is the same engine with the
same output as the Bullitt. Its
thunderous note is down to a
larger diameter, active-valve
performance exhaust and
quad 4.5-inch outlets.
Unique to the Mach 1 is
the superb Tremec TR-3160

“Both these limitededition Mustangs are excellent
cars and it really is hard to
choose between one or the
other,” says Bowe.
“It’s also difficult to know
which of the two will go through

collectable and valuable in say
10 years’ time.
“I reckon in time, both are
going to be in the crosshairs of

Bowe says the Mach 1 in

THE BOXSTER AND MORLEY WERE FANGING ON BACK ROADS UNTIL
THERE WAS A FUNNY SMELL. GENTLY BACK TO THE MBC THEN
H
ow can you tell if you’re on to an honest mechanic; a good
guy or gal who won’t dud you? You send them a job that
could be a big-dollar fix, only to have them discover a much
smaller problem and charge you accordingly. This was
brought home to me the other day when the Boxster S put the
first blot in its sexy little copy-book.
There I was, fanging along a nice piece of back-road, when I
suddenly popped out of paradise, back into suburbia and struck the
first red light in about 50km of – ahem – spirited driving. Because it
wasn’t actually raining speedboats at the time, I had the roof down
and, as I slowed to stop at the intersection, I could suddenly smell
coolant. So, back at the MBC, I checked the level of the expansion
tank and discovered that, yes, I was down a cupful or so.
Now, I could have stuck the Porker on the ramp and checked it out.
But you know what? This is a mid-engined car with three (count `em)
radiators in the nose and the expansion tank in the boot. That’s a lot
of potential for getting the bleeding process wrong, leaving a hot-spot
somewhere in the water-jacket and torching something inside with a

part number that begins with a dollar-sign.
So it was off to Cascone Auto Sport (who did
the IMS and clutch replacement when I first
bought the car) for a professional diagnosis.
A quick online search had already
revealed that the Porsche 986 is blessed with
a vague propensity to eat its own water
pump, as well as develop terminal cracks
in the expansion tank. Neither of those
possibilities was going to be kind to my
wallet, but what price motoring nirvana,
eh? (Yes, I am still digging the Boxster like a
crazy man with a shovel.)
A day after I had the car trucked down
to Cascone (no genius-points for driving a
car in city traffic if it has a potentially dicky
water pump) I get a call from Nick, boss
man at the workshop. Turns out, it’s good
news, the leak was a simple matter of the
bleed valve for the expansion tank having
lost its mojo and allowing that small amount
of coolant to escape. Ah, says I, the penny
dropping somewhat too late, that’ll explain
the condensation under the boot-lid! Yep,
says Nick.
So, with a new bleed valve fitted and crisis
averted, the 986 is back in business and
my bank account lives to fight another day.
Probably with the ATO, but that’s another
story. And like I said, it would have been

very easy for a shifty mechanic in the
same situation to have sold me a water
pump I didn’t need. And while I’m not
suggesting that even a small percentage
of mechanics are crooks, it’s still nice to
find one as honest as Nick.

Veneer of respectability
Moving on to other cars cluttering up the
place around here, you’ll recall I recently
stumbled on to a W124 Mercedes-Benz in
utterly amazing condition bar the fact that it
wouldn’t actually run. Details, details, right?
Anyway, you may also recall that I did
the only sensible thing and bought it,
non-working engine and all, while taking
a massive punt on being able to fix it and
everything else working properly once the
donk was back in action. Which – amazingly
– is kind of how it all turned out, and now I
have a lovely 260E in the driveway that drives
as good as it looks.
So now it’s time to start fixing all the little
things that, while never deal breakers, might
annoy me as time goes by. The first of those

was the timber veneer surrounding the
gearshift and power-window switches. Over
time and exposure to Aussie levels of UV
radiation, the shiny coating (I thought it was
lacquer, it’s actually a hard, bonded plastic
material) had gone brittle and started to
crack up like a dry lake bed.
Okay, compared with the rest of the
pristine interior, the veneer was like a giant
zit on a supermodel, but to be honest, it
didn’t really bother me too much, but both
Bondini and The Speaker were horrified
at the sight of the timber work and
demanded it be fixed. And since Bondini
has been an invaluable help with getting
the Benz back to full health, and The
Speaker prepares much of my food, I was
obliged to see things their way.
In turn, that meant figuring out how
to remove the piece of veneer. It wasn’t
too difficult and, once you’ve removed
the ashtray and a couple of screws, the
piece of trim in question pops out and
you can remove all the switches from
underneath to liberate the piece. The
task then became what to do about the
crazy-paving plastic coating.
A quick dig around with a sharp

blade revealed that some of it could be
chipped off. But other bits that weren’t so
affected were still firmly bonded. Which
meant sandpaper and a sanding block.
Tremendous … my favourite things. Many
hours later, I had the coating stripped away
to reveal a nice thick (about 3mm, in fact) of
actual tree wood that could now be stained
to match the rest of the timber trim (which

skills and hand-drawing the stripes for me.
From there, I managed to find a stain that
looked about right, applied a few coats of

sprayed on a few light coats of high-gloss
clear to bring back the wow-factor.

piece I was working on is the only one that
sits horizontal and in direct sunlight much of
the time.)
Problem number one was that even
though I’d used a sanding block, I’d still
managed to remove the striped pattern on
the timber around a couple of the edges and
corners. That’s where The Speaker came in
I started with. And now I know what I’m
dealing with, I reckon I could find another
panel from a wrecked W124 somewhere and
make an even better job of it. Finding another
one shouldn’t be a problem, because I don’t
think I’ve ever seen a Benz from this era that
hasn’t got the same crazing on the same trim
panel. Not that I really want to do another
one, but when the rest of the car is so nice …
Fortress MBC
A recent security scare at the Melbourne Bloke
Centre has convinced me it’s time to up the
fortress rating. Long story short, a couple of
blokes recently decided to take a peek inside
the garage at the side of the MBC. At 3.06am
on a Monday. They cut the locking pins on the
door, opened her up, took a 30-second gander
at what was in there, worked out there was
nothing they could carry by hand, closed the
door and buggered off.
In the end, they managed to steal precisely
nothing and, apart from the cut locks, there
was no damage to my stuff. Except to my
psyche, that is. I spent the rest of that week
wondering if I’d been targeted and whether I
could expect a return visit.
According to the cops who attended, these
goons were almost certainly looking for tools
and other portable stuff they could flog to
finance their next hit. Okay, but that didn’t
stop me feeling really antsy for the next few
days. Antsy enough, in fact, to get off my bum
and up the security.
First thing was to instal a nice new alarm
system that will blind and deafen anybody
stoopid enough to trip it, as well as send me

and the monitoring company an alert that all
is not well. I’ve placed sensors everywhere
and located the keypad where anybody
looking in can spot it and make an informed
decision about moving along.
I’ve also replaced the locking pins and
welded steel plate over them, so that they
can’t be cut so easily with a cordless angle
grinder. Yeah, you could still cut your way in,
but it’d take a lot longer and there’d be a lot
more noise and sparks to give the neighbours
a heads-up.
Finally, I contacted a mob called Hoodlum
Bollards and had a pair of their finest installed
at every vehicle-entry (and exit) point at the
MBC. I won’t go in to how they work, but
they’re Aussie made and top-quality gear.
They weren’t what you’d call expensive either,
and I reckon for folks like us who value our
four-wheeled toys, the price of a bollard or
two to protect what’s inside the garage is small
beer. Who knows, you might even find your
insurer will reward you for such diligence with
a premium discount come renewal time.
I’ve now had time to take a good look at
the security camera footage of the break-in

supplied by my mate’s camera system
across the car park, and it appears these
dills really do fall a long way short of the
master criminal category. For a start, they
assumed there were no cameras (there are
plenty) but also that it would be okay to use
a very distinctive car as their transport that
night.
I’ve now seen enough angles to identify
the vehicle and I’m hoping the cops either
already know who they are or can find
them. Meantime, how anybody thinks they
have more claim to stuff I’ve worked hard
to own is beyond me. Keep yer mitts off my
stuff, ya bastards.
That was then
Jeez, the backside has really fallen out of
the car market right now, hasn’t it? The end
of Covid and its ramifications for car prices
seem to be a pretty distant memory now,
and while the ghosts of daily price increases
on anything remotely collectible remain, it’s
equally true that that was then, this is now.
I’m seeing all sorts of tasty rides
advertised right now for around two-thirds
what was being asked for them just a couple
of years ago at the height of the pandemic.
And while, in some cases, that’s still a bit
more than the pre-COVID price list was
showing, it remains that you can now get
I don’t think we’ll ever see pre-COVID
pricing return in full, but it’s kind of nice to
know that the market is being somewhat
sensible when it comes to valuing the sort
of cars us lot are interested in. Really old
stuff seems to be holding on to its value a
“IT’S KIND OF NICE TO KNOW THAT THE
MARKET IS BEING SOMEWHAT SENSIBLE”
into something like a HSV Clubsport or XR8
– you know, relatively modern stuff by our
standards – for sensible money again.
Ditto the Japanese stuff which has
fallen back to somewhere around where it
should have been all along. The exception
to that being anything old and Mazda and
rotary-powered which, for reasons known
only to generations of lunatics prepared to
stump up huge bucks for some otherwise
pretty ordinary tin, have defied any trend to
create their own, stratosphere-bound fiscal
trajectory.
bit better, and truly collectible stuff of the
high-end variety isn’t going to take a bath
any time soon, either. But since I’m in no
position to be shopping for those things, the
news that reasonability has returned to the
market pleases me.
Here’s a thought: Should you find yourself
with some cash to splash on a collectible set
of wheels, right now might not be a bad time
to start sniffing around. Just remember one
thing: The prices being advertised and the
prices actually being paid are often two very
different figures. Get to it.

had to do it. There were some
frustrating moments, such
as when the old boat leaning
against the fence fell on to a
nice new straight rear quarter
panel!
Or the time I went to start the
engine after a long lay-off and it
felt like the battery was fading.
It turned out to be caused by
air in the oil pump lines, which
needed bleeding.
One new skill I picked up
was upholstery. My intention
was to just make a seat cover
that looked a little like the
original. Then I thought, well,
if I was going that far, I might
as well do it properly. So I
unstitched the original, used it
as a pattern – how hard could it

tion and a $30 op-shop sewing
machine, I managed to pull it
off. The tonneau cover was a bit
more of a challenge as it’s made
of a much heavier marine vinyl.
I like the welding side of
things and the mechanical
tasks are okay, but I absolutely
hate painting. I loathe it. There
are panels on that car I painted
five times for varying reasons.
It’s a learning process – if I did
that car today, I’d have a much
better idea of what to do. And
of course I was outside, which
made the process a lot more
difficult.
It was done on a tight
budget. I think all up it cost
$6000, which includes buying
the compressor, welding gear
and other tools. It was pretty
good mechanically, so a lot of
stuff was taken off, painted and
reinstalled.

Most of it is original, including the electrics

HIBERNATION & MILEAGE
W
e’re working on a lovely Mustang at the moment,
which has developed some pretty typical
problems for something that has been sitting
for a few years. It’s developed some typical
problems for a Windsor, such as corrosion where the
timing cover/water pump meets the block. Aluminium
to steel, two different metals, and the coolant has
become acidic and is slowly eating at the softest metal.
Let’s just say your job is taking you overseas for a
couple of years and the love-affair with the car is still
alive. Then, as your grand-dad used to say, put it up on
blocks! So get the weight off the tyres so they don’t
flat-spot – or if that doesn’t work for you, at least run
them up to maximum inflation.
Then you remove all the fluids, except the engine oil.
Fuel out, coolant out, brake fluid out. Seal the lid on
the master cylinder with a bit of tape to discourage air
getting in.
As we know with fuel, it goes off and does horrible
things, so you siphon out as much as possible, while
running the carburetor/injection dry.
With engine oil, let’s say you’re working on your
289 Mustang which holds five litres – put another five
litres in, so all the bottom end of the engine is sitting
in oil. Make yourself a warning note and stick it on the
steering wheel, to not start it until it’s been drained and
refilled to the proper level.
Unhook the battery and maybe put it on a tender.
When you go to restart the car, you obviously need
to refresh all the fluids. Plus, disconnect the coil and
110
TradeUniqueCars.com.au
turn over the motor on the battery to get some oil
pumped into the top end.
Recommissioning doesn’t require any special tricks,
just plenty of patience, For example, you can gravity
bleed the brake system. Open the furthest bleed nipple,
which is usually the left rear on right-hand-drive cars,
and work your way wheel-by-wheel around the system
as clean fluid comes through. So long as you don’t
touch the pedal, you’ll be right.
Now, let’s talk about mileage in cars and how people
get wrapped up in this. It’s just not important. If you buy
an old car with proven low kilometers, well fine. They’re
a rarity. But never be worried about high kilometres.
For example, we recently had a Holden Sandman in
for a few repairs. The thing runs as well today as it did
when it was made and still looks like it did when it was
made, with 678,000km on it! The owner is very proud
of the distance and has maintained the car its entire life.
That car, if you saw it, you wouldn’t run away. So don’t
worry over scary numbers, just do your due diligence.
People used to wind back speedos with an electric
drill and now they do it with a laptop, so I’m always
a little skeptical of what the odometer says. Oh, and
service records can be falsified.
You’ll find out far more by putting a car up on a hoist
and having a good look around – then there’s nowhere
to hide! The car will tell you the truth once you’re
underneath it.
I’d rather have a car with high mileage in good
condition than one with low claims that’s patchy.
Cool Commodore
Hi Mick. I’m not all that
experienced in a workshop,
though I’ve done some basics like
oil and spark plug changes.

opens fully it goes down.
The best way to have it
completely full, have an
assistant raise your engine
revs (1800 to 2000) and
you’ll see the coolant drop

takes effect. Top it up with
the revs in place, take the
bottle away and put the cap
on. All the air is out. That
works on just about all cars.

Is it worth much and would

CARS THAT AGE are in
a sort of twilight zone in
the market. They’re not
quite old enough to attract
collectors, and not modern
enough to appeal to most
people looking for daily
transport.
The good news is that car
has just become old enough
to be eligible for club plates
around the country. Those
Corollas have a reputation
for doing 400,000km
without any big issues.
As you probably know,
that Seca Ultima was a
$30,000 car back when it
was new. The price guides
we’ve looked at suggest
they’re now worth around
$3-5K in reasonable
condition. You could
certainly give it a go on

BRAKE FLUID
Your old DOT 4 brake
fluid (which is what most
old cars are running)
is fine for the job but
needs to be changed
every two years. It’s
hygroscopic (absorbs
water from the air) and
loses effectiveness over
time. A move to DOT
5 is good, as it doesn’t
absorb water and lasts
longer. However, you
need to freshen-up the
brake system, change
over seals, cylinders
and the like. When you
do the switch. Don’t
be a tight-arse – do it
properly.

YOU CAN’T KILL those 4.2
sixes, so long as you don’t
mess with them. I would, as
you suggest, do all the fluids
so you then have a good
starting point. Also, replace
all the hoses, plus the metal
crossover pipe under the
radiator that runs in between
two hoses – that does wear
out. The parts are readily
available from a couple of
Jaguar specialists such as
Jagdaim.
For more reliability and
just an easier life, I’d contact
Performance Ignition
Services in Nunawading
(Vic) and talk to them about
the electronic distributor
they do for the Series 1 and
2, so you can get rid of the
old GL19 points set-up.
That cures a whole heap of
problems – I did it on my
own and it’s the best thing I
ever did.
Do the ignition leads at
the same time – they have
a limited lifespan. And
buy quality. If you can’t
get genuine leads, go for
something from the people
I just mentioned or Ice
Ignition.
Charger bitsa
Hi. I have an old Valiant Charger
that I reckon is a bitsa that’s had
a pretty colourful life over the
years. It’s currently running a
340 V8 with a four-speed manual
and goes okay, but I reckon the
old carburettor is on its last legs.
It’s a four-barrel Carter, like you’d
find in all sorts of things from
that period.
Is it worth rebuilding it or
should I look at something new?
Muz Mehmet
I RECKON ANY Charger
is a good Charger,
particularly if it’s got
a 340 in it! As for the
Carter, it’s time to go
and I wouldn’t bother
with a rebuild. Maybe put
it to one side. Get a new
600 vacuum secondary
with electric choke,
which will bring your old
bent eight to life. You
have a choice between
Holley and Edelbrock –I
lean towards the Holley
as it’s a little simpler and
easier, but either will be
just fine. It’s direct,
bolt-on, let’s go play.
Don’t be tempted to go
over 600, as what I’ve
suggested is perfect
for street use.

Bimmer dampers
G’day Mick. My old BMW
635 (E24) is getting tired in
the suspension department,
crashing through rather than
cruising over bumps.
Springs are easy enough
to source and I’m not too
concerned about them.
However there is a big choice
in dampers. I’m not sure if I
can still get the original pattern
Bilsteins. Any thoughts?
David S
BILSTEINS OR KONIS
are your best choice and
I lean towards the Konis
because you can get
them as adjustable units.
Installation in the rear is
a bit of a bugger, as you
have to pull out the back

Doing it at home could end
in divorce … you’ll go inside,
you won’t be happy and
say something regrettable
to the wife. Save your
marriage and use a good

Escort buy
Hi Mick. I’ve been offered a
Mk2 Escort which is a GL –
no-one got around to turning
it into an RS! It’s a manual and
seems to be in good shape,
probably a grandpa or grandma
car.
It’s got the 2.0lt engine and is
a four-speed manual.
What should I be looking for?
Anders Edsteen
WHAT A GREAT car!
Lots of go and really
well-balanced with sharp
steering and handling.
There’s one main thing
to look for: Rust! The metal
is thin and doesn’t take
kindly to the elements. The
driveline is super-tough.
That little engine was just
great, as was the gearbox,

enough to put behind a

WORDS & PHOTOS GLENN TORRENS
MANY OF US will know the thought: It’s the “hmmm ... what’s
that noise?” question that sometimes crosses our minds when the
cobwebs have been cleared and the dust has settled after starting
a shed-, paddock- or backyard-find car engine.
It was the thought I had about my 1981 VC Holden
Commodore I found in a wrecking yard in Cooma, NSW where it
had sat for 25 years. Driven around the yard, then on to a trailer
and towed home for a resurrection, it was in the quiet confines
of my garage that I’d first noticed a mystery murmur from the 3.3
six-cylinder engine.
Hmmm. What’s that noise?
Any older engine – the odo of this showed 170,000km and of
course it’s more than 40 years old - can produce a multitude of
noises. Hydraulic lifters can make a tick-tick sound before the
oil pressure pumps-up after a cold start, or if it fades as a hot
engine idles. More ominously, worn crank bearings can create a

“THE FUNNY LITTLE ENGINE NOISE WAS CAUSED BY
A CRACKED PISTON SKIRT”
deep rumble. A damaged conrod bearing has a distinct
doonk-doonk noise as its gap is slammed shut when
the piston above it takes the load of compression. A
gudgeon pin, if worn or loose, can chatter, as can a
piston, if it is badly worn or cracked.
Judging by the sound – and a few other clues – it
wasn’t a dud lifter creating the sound in my Holden
six. The annoying noise with the engine fast-idling
disappeared as the engine warmed. But it could be

heard again when the throttle was snapped open with
the car in-gear … but only sometimes!
The noise seemed to be coming from sort-of midheight of the rear half of the motor. By disconnecting
the rear three spark plug leads one-by-one, I isolated
the noise to cylinder five; the noise was eliminated with
its lead disconnected.
Of course, I bought this Commodore expecting to do

“I BOUGHT THIS COMMODORE EXPECTING TO DO PLENTY
OF WORK TO GET IT BACK ON THE ROAD”
get it back on the road, but it was a shame that I had to
‘go inside’ the engine. But hey, that’s life with old cars!
I reckoned/guessed the noise was a sloppy piston
pin. I grabbed another standard-size second-hand
piston from a disassembled Blue 3.3 motor and crossed
my fingers I could confirm and correct the problem.
To find and fix that cylinder’s internal problem
meant removing the cylinder head and sump so the
piston and its rod could be removed. I’d done this
before, with my now-sold brown VB Commodore 3.3
wagon, so with some experience I wasn’t too daunted
by this task.
One Friday night, I backed my car into the garage
and drained the coolant and oil. Then I removed the
bonnet and dropped the exhaust and front sway bar
to allow the head and sump to be removed easily. To
simplify the process, I kept the carby and the intake
and exhaust manifolds installed to the head and simply
lifted the whole lot from the engine with my engine
crane. With that done, I loosened the engine mounts
and jacked-up the engine and removed the sump. So
far so good …
Within a few hours that evening I had the number

five piston in my hand. Even in the darkness of my
garage, I could see a funny shiny pattern on the
piston’s skirt … then another and another. The shiny
bits were the edges of three big cracks in the piston!
Bingo! The noise I thought could be a loose gudgeon
pin was in fact a cracked piston skirt.
I swapped the rings and bearings from the damaged
piston and conrod to the good second-hand one,
plopped it into the bore and reassembled the engine.
Fixed! No more annoying little funny what’sthat noise!

WHAT DO YOU RECKON?
AFTER ENJOYING THE LOFTY HIGHS OF A BRISK SUNDAY DRIVE,
GLENN TORRENS SUFFERS A SIGNIFICANT LET-DOWN.
BUT IT COULD HAVE BEEN FAR WORSE …
WELL, THAT WAS lucky!
As I mentioned in Our Cars
last issue, recently I had the
metal section of a valve stem
shoot like an air-rifle pellet
from one of my 1990 Mazda
MX-5’s wheels.
PPFFOOOSSsshhhhh. One
dead-flat tyre.
But how was that lucky?
Because about two hours
before this happened, I’d been
blasting my Mazda through
the twisties on a nice winding
mountain road. So if this valve
stem had failed while the
Mazda was leaning on this left
front tyre during a fast righthander, I’d probably have
binned it. Usually when I’m
out in my little Mazda, roof
down, on a twisty bit of road
on a sunny Sunday morning,
I’m driving … umm…
enthusiastically.
After enjoying this delicious
piece of twisty road, I’d
cruised another tree-lined
highway for another half-hour
or so before stopping at a cafe
for a breakfast pie. After that,
while walking back to the car,
I’d noticed the left front tyre
was down. That was odd, as I’d
checked all the tyre pressures
that morning. Obviously there
was a problem; I felt around
as best I could, investigating
for a nail or screw but couldn’t
find anything.
I limped the car to the
nearest servo and pumped up
the tyre again; by the time I’d
arrived at the pump my tyre
was visibly even more deflated
– it was at 9psi instead of the
32 I’d put in that morning.
Anyway, later that week,
I had all the valve stems on
my Mazda replaced with
brand-new … And of course,
this situation prompted me
in to thinking about the
safety of the hardware in
and under many older and
“THE TYRE WAS AT 9PSI,
INSTEAD OF THE 32 I’D PUT
IN THAT MORNING”
lesser-used cars, such as the
typical H-plate/club cruiser,
especially in the states that
don’t have a simple annual
safety inspection and instead
rely on ‘owner diligence’ –
sometimes by owners who
have absolutely no mechanical
training nor knowledge — to
somehow blunder through
ensuring the mechanical
safety of their cars.
Anyhow, maybe that’s
a topic for another time
but crikey, was I lucky –
and thankful – that I didn’t
crash my Mazda that sunny
Sunday!
With the tyre standing up
again, I carefully drove
straight home and was in the
garage using a core tool to
check the valve when it ‘let go’.
It gave me quite a shock;
not just because of the
sudden unexpected rush of
air, but with the thought of
what could have happened
earlier. As mentioned, I’d
been travelling some twisty
roads — edged variously by
thick stands of gum trees,
solid sandstone cuttings and
sections of safety railing —
and unlike a slow leak, an
instant tyre failure (such as a
blowout) gives little or no time
to ‘catch’ the car – especially
midway through a corner.

THE INTERESTING little
Wolseley electric-fence sign
(pictured) caught my eye as I
helped tidy up a local property. It
interested me because I’ve long
been aware that Dublin-born
Frederick Wolseley had invented
a successful mechanical sheepshearing machine here in the
colonies as a young bloke in the
pre-motor-car Victorian era.
The Wolseley shearing-machine
business he established in
Australia ultimately gave birth
to Wolseley Motors Limited in
120
TradeUniqueCars.com.au
the UK. But a Wolseley electricfence was something new
altogether…
As I parked near the
newsagent on the way home a
1929 Austin 7 Chummy tourer
pulled in behind me – not a
thing that happens every day.
So as you do, I chatted with new
acquaintance John Needham
about his Seven. Readers may
recall an early Unique Cars
column of mine about my
own student-days Austin 7
misadventures in the cockpit of
another version of the mighty
two-main-bearing 1929 model,
a two-seater Meteor sports. It
turns out that John has a long
connection with classic cars
and motorsport and that many
readers will know him from the
‘Old Car Gearboxes’ business
in Moorabbin (Vic). When I
mentioned my Wolseley-sign
find and Wolseley’s connection
with colonial Australia, John
reminded me that Herbert
Austin had also spent time here
as a young fella before returning
to the UK to make his significant
automotive mark.
My personal connection
with Wolseley cars is minimal
with my main awareness of the
marque being the role of the
6/80 and 6/90 models as police
cars in British film and TV –
often equipped (surely as some
sort of Pythonesque joke) with
a shiny bumper-mounted bell.
To be fair though, I spent a lot of
enjoyable Saturday nights in the
‘death seat’ of my mate’s ZB MG
Magnette heading to dances.
Austin went on to set up
his Austin Motor Vehicle
Company at Longbridge in
1905. It prospered and by
1910 employed 1000 workers.
The mighty little Austin 7 that
ran from 1923-39, the Britishmarket equivalent of Henry
Ford’s ‘everyman-car’ – the
Model T, sold a total of 290,000
units. Herbert Austin was
knighted in 1917 and became
Lord Austin in 1936.
The destinies of both the
Austin and Wolseley brands
became intertwined over
the years through numerous
acquisitions and mergers.
William Morris bought
Wolseley at its low point in
1927 and consequently from
The Magnette was effectively a
re-badged Wolseley 4/44.
Frederick Wolseley was
well on his way to success in
business by 1887 when he set
up the Wolseley Sheep Shearing
Machine Company in Sydney.
Within two years however
Wolseley and the business head
office had relocated to London.
Five years later Wolseley retired
from the business, ironically
a year before the company
completed its first prototype
car. The plot thickens when the
identity of the designer of the
first Wolseley car is revealed –
it’s the young Herbert Austin.
Austin had arrived in Australia
in 1883 at age 17 and worked a
number of jobs before taking on
an engineering role at Wolseley’s
shearing machine business.
By 1893 he had become
sufficiently influential to not
only convince the company to
set up a new manufacturing
facility in Birmingham, but also
to score the general manager
position. It was in Birmingham
that Austin began working on
vehicle designs with Frederick
Wolseley’s support.
The motor car division of
Wolseley was established in
1901 as a partnership between
Herbert Austin and the Vickers
armaments company with
Austin as managing director.
During Austin’s five years
with Wolseley Motors Limited
it produced 1500 vehicles
establishing both the Wolseley
brand and Herbert Austin’s
personal reputation in the motor
industry.
“YOU CAN SUCCESSFULLY POWER
AN ELECTRIC FENCE USING A FORD
MODEL T ‘TREMBLER’ COIL”
the mid-1930s Wolseleys
shared basic architecture with
equivalent Morris models. The
post-WWII merger of Morris
and Austin as the new British
Motor Corporation meant our
two featured marques were
then under the one corporate
‘roof’. The Wolseley and Austin
brands survived until 1975 and
1988 respectively under the
ownership of various subsequent
corporate structures.
At the end of the day I’m
happy to now know a lot more
about the relationship between
Herbert Austin and Frederick
Wolseley, but here’s the thing – I
still know practically nothing
about Wolseley electric fences.
However I did pick up something
entirely different about electric
fences from John Needham.
Speaking from personal
experience he explained that
you can successfully power an
electric fence using a Ford Model
T ‘trembler’ coil as the power
source. That’s another box
ticked…

f space is the final frontier then Chris Salisbury
and his partner Gudie Pohlmann have reached
the outer limits of their ‘couple shed’. When they
started collecting cars 15 years ago, the timetravelling duo thought their former factory in an
industrial area of Melbourne had more than enough
room to not only house a few cars but also Chris’s
memorabilia and a zone for relaxing and entertaining.
But then came the Cadillacs.
With the workshop measuring only 17 x 10 metres
– about 2.5 Cadillacs long by two Cadillacs wide
– it quickly became gridlocked and Chris had no
alternative but to put three cars in to orbit on mobile
hoists that can be rolled out for his annual Boxing Day
barbecue. Apart from a small lounge area/bar and a
mezzanine accommodation space, it’s jammed.
Chris and Gudie met at a rock ’n’ roll dance and
discovered their passions overlapped: Chris loves
classic American cars and Gudie the fashion and
films of the '40s and '50s. Chris has owned many cars,
starting with an FJ panel van when he was 18.
“I’ve had FCs, FEs, EKs … just about every model
Holden and either worked on or done them up,” he
recalls. “My first good car was a ’57 Chev which I got
when I was 24. I wish I’d kept them all.”
Gudie admits she knows nothing about cars but like
Chris, she loves classic American cars and appreciates
their style and design. Originally, they were only
supposed to buy one car, Chris says.
“I said ’Let’s get a nice car, which turned in to two
nice cars, then three … The first was the 1956 Buick
Super Riviera, but while we were waiting for it to
arrive from the US, we bought Gudie’s 1961 Cadillac
Fleetwood four-door from the bass player of ‘Ol’ 55,
Jimmy Manzie.” It was a good start, but the Fleetwood
wasn’t quite right for Gudie.

a car can be a waste of time and money, Chris
cautions.
“Every car I’ve bought has been based purely
on who’s selling it and photos I’ve seen, because
I know what to look for. I bought the Buick from
Daniel Schmitt’s, a classic car dealership in the US,
and it’s been a fantastic car. In fact they all have,
nothing has gone wrong, touch wood. I just service
them and they all run and drive beautifully.
“It’s a very rare car. It looks like a Century or
Special but it’s on a Cadillac chassis, so it’s six
inches longer from the rear window to the bumper.
It’s a beautiful ‘Tahiti Coral’ colour with black and
white upholstery (hence its nickname Billy, as in
rockabilly) and hasn’t got a speck of rust. As far as I

know, there are only four in Australia.”
Gudie’s pride and joy arrived in 2014, an
immaculate concours-winning 1957 Ford
Thunderbird. “I’ve always driven sports cars
(her daily driver is a Porsche 911 convertible)
and it’s easy to drive, it’s a joy,” Gudie beams.
“When I drive it I feel like I’m in the fifties
and I try to look the part too.” The Baby Bird
has real pedigree too, as Chris explains.
“We were looking for a C1 Corvette but
they were quite expensive, and then we saw
the T-Bird,” he says. “It was originally owned
by Ford Johnson, a former president of the
126
TradeUniqueCars.com.au
American Thunderbird Club, who had it
completely restored in 1990. It’s won a stack
of awards and is a ‘Senior’ car and I doubt
there’s a better one in this country; it’s only
done 80,000 miles. It was known as ‘Amelia’
in the US, so we kept the name.”
Their second Cadillac was a stunning
concours-winning 1950 Coupe De Ville that
they christened Marilyn because, well, it’s
blonde and has curves …
“It’s totally unmolested, it’s never been
painted or chromed,” Chris says proudly.
“The upholstery, carpet, dash, headlining,
boot, even the exhaust system are
completely original which, for a 70-year-old
car, is extraordinary. The car sat in Yuba City
Cadillac in California from 1950 to 1992. It
was finally sold in 1984, but not registered
until 1987 and not driven until 1992; the
owner bought it and left it at the dealership.”
“The late '40s and '50s was the pinnacle of
American car building and these cars were
the Rolls-Royces of America,” Gudie points
out. “I drove it to Wangaratta and back (a
450km trip) and was biting my fingernails
all the way, but it was beautiful to drive. We

became very friendly with the people
who sold it and now they want it back!”
For any American hoodlum with class, a
gloss black Cadillac was the only car to be
seen – or die – in and the next car to arrive
was a 1952 Cadillac Series 62 Anniversary
named after a bloke called Capone.
“This is another very rare car because it’s
a 50th anniversary model, hence the gold
instead of chrome,” Chris explains. “It’s jet
black and a bit of a gangster car, which is
why we call it ‘Big Al’. It won the Cadillac
Nationals about 11 years ago. We found this
car in Western Australia. It was imported

from the US where they spent well over
US$100,000 on the restoration.”
The only other Ford in Chris and Gudie’s
collection is their oldest car, a 1946 Ford Super
Deluxe they named ‘Rita’ after redheaded
Hollywood bombshell, Rita Hayworth.
“It was advertised as arguably the finest ’46
on the planet,” Chris remembers. “Now we have
three decades of American cars. We like Art
Deco and it has a beautiful dash and it’s been
done-up spectacularly; under the car is just as
good as above and there was just no money
to be spent on it. It’s a great driver with a 239

It’s lovely to have cars that you just have to
change the oil, keep the batteries charged
and wipe over.”
Their first Chrysler is also the youngest in the
factory and was bought to ‘flip’ but when it was
delivered, Chris and Gudie realised their 1967
New Yorker was a keeper. They dubbed it Frank,
as in Sinatra, because they could envisage Ol’
Blue Eyes and his minders riding around in it.

“I knew it was a good car but it was much
better than I even imagined, Chris says, still
surprised at his luck. “It’s over 50 years old
and doesn’t have a single rattle or squeak
and it drives spectacularly. It came from
Ohio and is still in extraordinary condition;
it’s the top-of-the-range model.
“Don, the owner, was an elderly guy who
never drove it in the rain or parked it in the

their 1960 Coupe De Ville ‘Lola’ because it’s
definitely a dazzling showgirl.
“This car belonged to a friend of mine
who got very sick and wanted the car to go
to a good home and we’d always loved it,”
Chris says. “He’d had it for about five years
and it also came from Daniel Schmitt’s in the
US. It’s fully-loaded with Eldorado options
“It was owned by a woman in Pittsburg
and was in a museum for 12 years and it

he rang to say he had just removed the

“This car is a real sleeper, it’s got the big

three-speed TorqueFlite 'box and it’s just the

Their next Cadillac is a chrome lovers,

And that’s Chris and Gudie’s slice of
Americana, an eclectic garage of some of
the best to ever come out of Detroit. And
they all look brand new. So what’s next?
“There is no ‘next car’, we don’t even

1994 FORD CAPRI XR2
THE LAST GENERATION CAPRI MIGHT NOT BE FOR EVERYONE,
BUT IT CERTAINLY HAS A CULT FOLLOWING
WORD & PHOTOS STEVE COLEMAN
M
y passion has always been for motor
cars of any type.
As my employment had always
provided me with company cars, I
had the ability to have project cars
also. These cars varied over the years from
240Z Datsuns, Jaguars, Holdens, Fords, Mini
Coopers, etc, in fact around 70 cars over the
past 50 years.
Recently, Gary, a great friend of mine
offered me a unique Ford Capri from Victoria
that had sat on a Ford dealer's showroom
(Highway Ford, Maitland) floor for nearly 22
years and was then put in to storage when the
dealership was sold. Gary purchased the car
with less than 100km on the clock, as he saw
the value in it. When it came time for Gary
to sell it, he thought of me straight away and
knew I would love it.
This particular 1994 Ford Capri XR2 was
one of the last six vehicles to roll off the
production line in March 1994. The car
then sat as a display on the showroom floor
130
TradeUniqueCars.com.au
without ever being registered.
Now nearly 30 years old and just over
40,000 kms on the clock, it is surely the most
original low-kilometre Capri in Australia. All
of the upholstery and seals are like brand
new, in fact I believe it still has that new-car
smell.
This car should really be part of a museum
or car collection so that future generations
can appreciate what was produced here in
Australia during the '80s and '90s but right
now sits proudly in my shed alongside my
1960 Morris Minor and 1937 Austin 7.
Facts About The Capri
• In 1989 Ford Australia released a
two-door Capri sports car to the market built
at the Broadmeadows plant in Victoria.
• This was to be a direct competitor to the
Mazda MX5 sports car with a starting price
of $27,000.
• Over a five-year period, 66,000 cars
were built of which 56,000 were left-hand
drive and shipped to America as Mercury
Capris. The remaining 10,000 vehicles were
right-hand drive for the local Australian
market.
• The Capri came with a standard
convertible soft-top and an optional hardtop.
• Mechanicals for these vehicles were all
based on Ford Laser/Mazda 323 components
• The front-wheel drive engine is a 1.6 litre
overhead cam, coupled to a 5-speed manual
transmission.
• Air-conditioning was an optional extra at
time of purchase and is included in my car.
• Turbo options were also available,
increasing the power from 75kW to around
100kW.
Upon viewing the car, many people have
asked if it is for sale and I guess, as they say –
everything is for sale at a price, but I haven’t
quite worked out what that is yet.
