A TIMELESS SHAPE WITH MORE FANS THAN EVER

I STILL remember and own, the red canvas Porsche book my
uncle gave my brother in the ’80s. I spent hours staring at the pages
containing historical photos from their earliest days.
I blame that book for what might have started a lifelong obsession
with all things automotive, in fact it was a photo of a silver Porsche
911 (with contrasting tartan interior) that became the first car I ever
fell in love with! There was something about that shape that just
looked right, the proportions just flowed and it honestly was and still
is a beautiful shape.
By the late ’80s my car tastes changed and I moved on from the
911 and hoped to own a road-going Ford Sierra just like the one Dick
Johnson and John Bowe lapped up at Bathurst. Maybe it was the
shiny red and yellow Shell livery that lured me, as the other Sierras
did not have the same effect. Another great car that I would happily
own today.
Trends and opinions change, and by the late ’90s I was lusting to
own a Commodore, a shadow tone VH SL/E, a 5.0 VK Calais, or a VL
turbo SL, my dream car changed like the wind, and to this day I have

owned none of them but I still like all of them.
It’s funny to witness that in recent years, ’80s performance
Commodores have become hugely popular in the local scene,
but it’s the classic 911 shape that has amazed me.
Not only have values skyrocketed worldwide, but the Porsche
brand has become the talk of the town, with Porsche enthusiasts
and owners everywhere including amongst the Unique Cars
extended staff.
It feels like yesterday I saw a ratty and rusty red 911 SC Targa
driving next to me on the way to UC headquarters. I guess the
chances of finding that cheap project car are a distant memory,
but dreams can come true and for our 911 feature car owner
Luis, he never gave up on his dream poster car and secured the
beautiful example you see in this issue.
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.

CAN-AM-INSPIRED
BRITISH SUPERCAR
STEVE NICHOLS, founder
of Nichols Cars has created the
N1A, a featherweight Can-Aminspired, road-going British
supercar that pays homage to
an iconic '60s-era race car, the
original McLaren M1A.
Nichols and his CEO John
Minett along with several
talented individuals set out to
create a car utilising the latest
technologies while blending
retro styling with modern design
cues in a car built to be enjoyed
10

TradeUniqueCars.com.au

on the open road.
The 900kg, production-ready
N1A offers an exhilarating,
unadulterated driving
experience with minimal
driver aids.
Power for the N1A comes from
a hand-built, naturally-aspirated
seven-litre LS3-based V8 engine
with 650hp mated to a six-speed
gearbox. It has independent
front and rear double wishbone
suspension with anti-roll bars
and rolls on sticky low-profile

Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres,
19 inches at the front and 20
inches at the rear.
Modern tech options include
traction control, power steering,
and switchable ABS.
Longer and wider than the
original McLaren M1A, an
open-top, mid-engined sportscar
from which the inspiration
came, the N1A’s body panels
are made from Formula One
grade graphene-infused carbon
fibre and were formed in the

MIRA wind tunnel ensuring its
aerodynamic efficiency.
The cockpit has the
stripped-out look of a racing
car but features top-grade
leathers, fabrics and machined
aluminium components for
greater comfort and the reclined
driving position is like the
Nichols-designed all-conquering
McLaren MP4/4 F1 car, giving
owners the opportunity to
experience exactly how McLaren
drivers Ayrton Senna and

Alain Prost sat.
As lead designer at McLaren
in 1987, the first car Nichols
penned was the MP4/3 that
carried Prost to three victories
and led the team to finish second

McLaren MP4/4 that took Ayrton
Senna to his first of three Driver’s
Championships, winning 15 out
of 16 races in the 1988 season.
The MP4/4 became one of the
most dominant Formula One
cars of all time. Nichols is also
credited with introducing carbon
fibre to Formula One, a material
that is now commonplace in
most racing cars and many road
cars today.
Steve Nichols said: “Having

FESTIVAL OF THE
UNEXCEPTIONAL

THE RECENT Hagerty Festival of the
Unexceptional had another sell-out success at
Grimsthorpe Castle, Lincolnshire with a record
attendance of 1200 cars, 3000 guests and the
Concours winner driving from Sweden to take part.
Hagerty created the Festival of the Unexceptional
in 2014 as a celebration of long-forgotten everyday
family cars from 1968-1989, now fondly known as the
‘Unexceptional Era’.
The 2023 Concours presented one of the best
displays since its inception with highlights including
5000-mile Vauxhall Cavalier and the only Yugo
Sana in the UK. In addition, many owners displayed
period accessories including original dealer signage
and model brochures to ensure their cars stood out
to the judges.
Host of Salvage Hunters: Classic Cars, Paul
Cowland was there and chatting with attendees
throughout the day and Repair Lot presenter
Charlotte Vowden kept the crowds entertained on
the main stage.
While the Concours lawn presented 50 of the most
mundane cars ever assembled, the main spectator
car parks boasted an equally impressive selection of
lesser spotted rarities, including a Moskvitch Aleko,
a trio of Toyota Tercel 4x4s along with hundreds of
other forgotten heroes and rarely seen treasures.

Stephen Pike drove his 1991 Daihatsu Applause
from Sweden to compete at the festival and had
only just completed an extensive renovation the
day before he undertook the 900-mile journey to
Lincolnshire.
“I love unusual cars, the Applause was unloved,
and I was on a mission to save it,” said Stephen.
“Hopefully, it’s going to be around for a few more
years now”.
On receiving his trophy for the Concours
d’Ordinaire and the award for longest distance
travelled Stephen added: “I’m speechless. I’d read
about Festival of The Unexceptional online and
seen pictures, but when I arrived and saw the
other vehicles, I thought some were in much better
condition!”
Mark Roper, Managing Director of Hagerty
International, added “This was, without doubt,
the biggest and best Festival of the Unexceptional
ever. After weeks of rain, the sun shone, the crowds
gathered, and we had an incredible day. What
impressed me the most was the number of young
owners bringing their cars along, suggesting
Unexceptional-era cars are the next big thing in
young driver car culture. We will be back next year to
celebrate 10 years of Unexceptional cars with a truly
exceptional event.”

A$138,200
RM SOTHEBY’S, LOT 152

HIGGO

THIS BEAUT looking early Corvette
is one of just 166 examples finished in
two-tone Aztec Copper and Beige and
has been with the one family from 1979
to 2006. The '56 Vette was the recipient
of the first major styling revision, three
years after debut and this one had a
body-off resto in the 1980s. It won an
NCRS Top Flight Award in October
2005. It features the RPO-419 option
comprising twin four-barrel carbs, a
cast aluminium manifold, 265ci V8,
two-speed Powerglide auto, electric
windows, and a powered convertible
roof. It sold with an operations manual,
restoration photographs, spare wheel,
and correct-type steering wheel.

WHAT'S MOVIN'
AND SHAKIN'

AUDI TT
It is hard to believe
the TT was first sold in
1998 and it has lasted
until 2023. Styled in
California the TT comes
as a 2+2 coupe or
two-seat convertible,
in front or four-wheel
drive configurations.
The TT has been based
on VW Groups A
platforms and shares its
layout with its siblings,
including the Audi
A3. Mechanicals are
also shared with VW
mates, the TT powered
by either a 1.8-litre
turbo four or 3.2lt VR6
engine. Transmissions
vary on model years
with manuals, tiptronic
and DSGs offered.
Prices are rising as
convertibles become
scarcer. Fun to pedal
without breaking
the bank.

WITH THE 993 came firsts and lasts.
It was the first 911 to sport a six-speed
manual gearbox as standard, and the
first to have multi-link rear suspension.
It was also the last to have an aircooled engine and is loved by Porsche
aficionados. This one-owner example
is in fine fettle with an excellent service
history. Finished in Polar Silver with a
black leather interior it has optional
sports suspension. Since new it has
travelled 120,572km. It has always been
garaged. The mats have lived over the
carpet since new. A better example
would be hard to find.

A 50TH birthday present to itself, the
Honda S2000 was big on tech and
performance and low on compromise.
Powered by a 2.2lt V-TEC four with a
stratospheric redline and just about the
best six-speed manual box going, along
with double wishbone suspension and
a slippery diff. This Imola orange with
black leather cabin example has been
driven a mere 33,000km.

THIS CAR is believed to be one of two

display at motor shows. We know it as
the Holden Piazza and there are so few
of them they turn heads, on curiosity
alone. The car was designed by
Giorgetto Giugiaro and lobbed here in
the mid-1980s. This four-owner example
shows 162,616 on the clock was given a
resto at some point. It's a 1.9-litre four

HERE’S A BUNCH OF WAYS TO
MAX OUT THE PLASTIC

1. IF THE VAN IS A-ROCKIN’

In the mid-1970s, introduced
vans to younger buyers.
Holden had the Sandman,
Chrysler the Drifter and
Ford the Sundowner. The
Sundowner was based on the
Falcon 500 and introduced in
1977. It included options from
the Falcon GS Hardtop, like
full instrumentation, bonnet
scoops, slotted sports road
wheels and driving lights. Side
and rear decals were included.
While a full-size one might be
hard to snare, you can get a
1:18 scale diecast Sundowner
van in Flame Red. The
production run is just 1500
units, and it’ll be around $300.

2. BROCK TEE

Come 1985 and it was all
change on the Touring car
scene in Australia. Gone
were the big banger Group
C cars and in came Group
A regs from Europe. There
were major changes at HDT
with Mobil in and Marlboro
out. The cars going from red
and white to blue and white.
In celebration of the Mobil
HDT team is this stylish tee
shirt. A high-quality tee shirt
available in five sizes in HDT
blue with the new logo and
signature of Peter Brock.

3. BODY BUILDERS

So the next project is in the
shed and the body is a bit
rough. Your first call is to
Machinery House who have
this unmissable package
deal. A bundle of mallets
and curved, tapered and
T-straight dollies. The mallets
are made from high-impact
nylon with a hickory wooden
handle and designed for
roughing in your work during
the early stages of metal
shaping. The dollies are the
same found in body shops
and fabricators and are
smoothly finished to prevent
damaging the material. And
you also get a stand. Priced
from $700
machineryhouse.com.au

4. DIZZY CURVES

We all want the best out of
our engine and a surefire
way (pardon the pun) is to
have the distributor rebuilt
and recurved. And the team
to do it are at Performance
Ignition. Maybe you have a
40 to 50-year-old classic
when the fuels were vastly
different to today. Nailing
the correct curve is a precise
science, with almost every
engine differing. The techos
at Performance Ignition
have decades of data,
experience and knowledge
to develop the right curve
for your engine.

10,000km of Pacific Ocean, these glitzy Californian
and Queensland playgrounds are both now home to
remarkable Concours d’Elegance events.
Brimming with high-value collector cars
micro-analysed by white glove-wearing judges, this year’s
inaugural Noosa Concours was modelled on the famed Pebble
Beach event; albeit with a welcome Aussie accent.
Elitist stuffiness was largely kept at bay as thousands of locals

in shorts and thongs strolled past the millionaire’s row of over 50
classics and moderns. The organisers insisted the event was kept
free for all.
Seriously big-ticket stuff rolled into town. A Mercedes 300 SL
Coupe. Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7. Shelby Cobra 427 Roadster.
Ferrari Daytona. Ferrari 250GT Lusso. Bugatti Type 37. An
automotive sweet shop of desirability; an historical snapshot of

benefitted from a three-year
restoration, with mechanicals
handled by Klaus Krantz, who
served his apprenticeship at
Mercedes in Stuttgart when these
elegant roadsters were new.
“It’s now over sixty years old,
but has had only four owners,”
said David. “Its first 40 were spent
in Michigan; I bought it sight
unseen during Covid from WA.
The restoration is exceptional, to
an incredible level of detail.”

From its snowy start in

“It lives in a Carcoon bubble and
is very much a top-down Sunday

the wet. It’s surprisingly simple
to work on for anyone with good
basic knowledge. The key is being
kind to it.”
David obliged by trailering it

Hello to everyone at Unique Cars.
Great to read the stories about the Mad Max cars
from Dave Morley in the latest issue.
I thought you might like to hear about a close
encounter with a replica in an unexpected place
- Hollywood.
My wife and I were on holiday in LA in 2012
and went to a screening of Mad Max at the
Egyptian Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard with
Mel Gibson in attendance. In typical Hollywood
style, there was a replica of the black coupe in the
forecourt and we had a good chat with the owner
before the movie. It looked great, still RHD and
with all the right gear. He’d built it himself, we
were impressed.
Not so impressed by Mel Gibson, who
appeared completely uninterested throughout
his interview with the LA Times movie critic who

struggled to get a response from him for over half
an hour.
What was impressive, however, was the
response to the movie from the LA film crowd.
They cheered when the black coupe first
appeared on screen and applauded all the
main characters, too. Quite an event and a fun
memory.
Here are a few photos, feel free to use them.
Phillip Leeds
ED: Phillip, we would love to know how

many replicas exist worldwide, we are
aware that a few replicas were built
locally and exported to Japan. Sounds
like an amazing experience and memory
on the Hollywood Boulevard.

spot for the

XP MEMORIES
I just bought a copy of the latest
issue with the XP coupe on the
cover. It bought back memories
of my car in the photo I sent you.
Unfortunately, I don’t have mine
now but what a classic shape.
Garry Allen
ED: We are glad to hear
that our cover feature
stirred some emotions
and brought back good
memories, we were long
overdue featuring the
loved XP coupe.

HUNTING S4’S
Hi, I just found John Wright’s
story on the history of the S4 and
it was great.
I am trying to discover what
happened to the S4 my father
bought from dealer Geissler
Motors in Goulburn, soon after
they entered it in the Bathurst
500 in either 1963 or 1964. It was
a pale blue colour with white
roof, with power discs, big tank
and blueprinted engine.

Dad bought it with, I think,
new car warranty from the
dealer and drove it quite a while
but rust was an issue and it was
sold, not sure when.
In the Bathurst race it lost the
right side rear wheel maybe on
Conrod (?) but didn’t crash, only
wearing away the backing plate.
I can confirm this because I
remember seeing the worn plate
when we changed the punctured
tyre years later.

probably ended up as scrap
somewhere. Very sad end for a
special car.
Ian Collett
ED: Ian, one of our readers

has shared some insight on
the Norm Beechey S4, let’s
hope someone can assist
in tracking down your
father’s car or its history.

“IN THE BATHURST RACE IT LOST
THE RIGHT SIDE REAR WHEEL,
MAYBE ON CONROD?”
As a 17 year old I had to
drive the car from Goulburn to
Braidwood on my own and it
easily got to 100 mph indicated,
the motor smooth as glass.
I always wondered what
became of the car but reading
John Wright’s story I guess it

ICONIC NOOSA
I caught a free bus with my
son and daughter-in-law on
Saturday, July 15, to witness
the inaugural Noosa Concours
d’Elegance based on California’s
famous Pebble Beach Concours.
What a fabulous event, with
iconic Hastings Street taken over
by a multi-million$$$ collection
of automotive poetry in motion,
even standing still.
In addition to numerous
beautiful classics, there were
many modern supercars
including a 420+ km/h Bugatti
Veyron, but in my view, they
don’t hold a candle to the golden
oldies when it comes to styling.
My favourites were probably
the mid-50s black Gullwing
Mercedes 300 and the authentic

silver 1967 Shelby Cobra 427, either
of which would likely be worth
as much as the nearby oceanfront units! If I ever won Lotto
I’d probably settle on the Cobra
because I’d never be able to exit
the Gullwing in my garage unless
I moved the beer fridge or my ’69
Mach 1 Mustang parked alongside!
Come to think of it, that beautiful
black and gold Hertz Shelby
Mustang GT 350 or the blue and
white ’67 Shelby Mustang would
make a nice Ford family addition,
or the ’55 Thunderbird, or a Britmobile like the rare Jag E Type
Hardtop, or the Austin Healey, or
the James Bond-style Aston Martin,
or a classic Ferrari ... so many
beauties, just spin the wheel.
There were also impressive
separate displays by Porsche
and other car clubs, plus cool
live music along the way, all for
free. Thankfully, there were no
Extinction Rebellion nutters
running amok with spray cans or
glueing themselves to the roadway,
but Climate Change Minister
Chris Bowen would probably be
disappointed that there was not
a single Tesla or any other EV
in amongst the gleaming V8s,
V12s and twin overhead cams on
display. Just real, superb cars.
John Mikkelsen
ED: John, we were also

excited to see the success
of such a fabulous event on
our shores. See our extended
coverage this issue, we plan
to soak up some sun and
attend in 2024.

for a long time in the USA and other places they

For decades it has been known that the late Lew

design, with three-seat roadster front bodywork and
a shallow tray topped by timber ‘hungry boards.’

same US$7401 as a Biarritz convertible but selling
only 975 in 1959 against the soft-top Eldorado’s
1320. Few, if any, would have arrived as new cars

LOTUS ELITE

The Elite that appeared in 1959 was a significant
addition to Lotus’ range and one of the most
beautiful cars of its time. Sadly, this Elite which
appeared in 1973 was notable for a whole range
of other reasons. It replaced the quirky Elan+2 but
managed to elude that car’s charm or semblance of
reliability. The 501 Series was a commercial disaster,
using the same flawed engine as the Jensen Healey,
while adding body problems and electrical niggles.
During six years in production, only 2398 were

At a point in local history when money was tight

Sadly, that new paint could be hiding deep-seated
corrosion of the kind that sent many of these
excellent cars to the metal recycler. CC versions
like this were the first 124 Coupes to use 1.8-litre
engines and they would manage 175km/h. That
wasn’t enough to make an impression in the world
of rallying where the 124 Spyder was a contender,
but coupes were nice road cars and survivors in

machines to create the Zeta sedan/wagon, Harry
Lightburn bought rights to produce a doorless
version of the Frisky and is thought to have built
about 30 before the project sank without trace.
Hardly any Zetas remain but back in Blighty the

a cult following. Cars like this one have sold for
around £15,000 over there. Here, who knows?

WHEN FORD OZ announced the Mustang was
going to be sold here some 51 years after its US debut,
everyone thought the price of the old gals would fall
over. Well, that’s not the case as prices have held sway
and even grown with some models. 1965 was the
Mustang’s first full calendar year of production and
this red convertible really looks the business. I’ve had
the pleasure of owning a couple of Stangs and they still
grab me. This one is said to be in beautiful nick and is
a right hooker with a 289 V8 and auto box. And the roof
is power operated. A great weekender.

WANT TO feel like a VIP for the price of a small

Solid build, reliable as a hammer with the precision of a
Swiss watch. This example was built in the final year of
W126 production. The original service books confirm
its odometer reading of 138,425km. At the time the
W126 was a tech, luxury and safety tour de force and
the car all others were judged by. It still has exceptional

Firstly, it’s a one-off. The seller had it for 30 years after

to be the only HK Premier with a Monaro dash,
long-range fuel tank, built-in steering wheel lock and
still functioning, vintage valve pull-out radio. It has
always been garaged and shows 57,781 miles. Up front
is the original 186 motor and powerglide auto. Even

however, it’s this naked

holds the greatest
appeal as a street
motorcycle.
Relatively low and
light, it appeals to the
minimalist. Described
as a roadster, it offers
reasonably sharp

steering, decent brakes,
good suspension and
plenty of power.
As a ride, it’s very
different to the GS
adventure tourer series
which easily dominates
sales for the brand.
While the GS is a very
capable distance mount,
it’s also physically much

MARKET NEWS
A RECENT classics auction by Silverstone in the
UK had some interesting highs and lows. One of
the hero results was for this 1998 Ducati 916 Carl
Fogarty replica 996, number 1 of 202. Showing just
three miles on the odo, it sold for $119,000.
Hinting at an overall softening of the UK market
was (among many other lots) this 1973 Kawasaki
Z1. A nicely restored example with a set of owner
books, it passed in at auction and is now for sale
at $30,600. That’s still substantial money, but well
below the highs we were seeing a year ago. More at

is minimalist, you get
all the electronic safety
nets, including ABS,
plus comforts such as
cruise control and heated
handgrips.
BMW makes a variety
of options for the R lineup. Ours came as a Triple
Black that offered lots
of cosmetic upgrades,
including engine covers,
panels and levers, plus a

sports muffler. All up, it
amounted to $32,000 on
the road. A lot of money,
but then again there
was a lot included in the
package.
If you were in the market
for an up-spec naked bike
that runs pretty bulletproof engineeering, with a
little character thrown in,
it’s well worth a look.

pending a fair chunk of my life
as a valuer of motor vehicles, I
sometimes need to tell doting
owners that their faithful
automotive companion has
travelled farther than is desirable
and the price they are contemplating is
viable only in Fantasy Land.
When selling a car, that little row of
numbers below the speedo or digitally
displayed do carry some weight, however
they shouldn’t be the only factor to
consider when buying.

People do get nervous when spotting
big numbers on an odometer, especially if
there is no service history to confirm when
and what maintenance may have occurred
and what costly jobs are overdue.
Perceptions count for a lot and older cars
with five-digit odometers don’t suffer to the
same degree. That 94,000 miles showing
on the dash of a 1960s' model could be
genuine, or the car might be one oil change
away from half a million.
In these instances, a sensible buyer
ignores the reading and considers the car’s

overall condition. If it looks and drives okay and there are no
obvious mechanical issues, the instinct is to buy it and hope for
the best.
If, however, the row of numbers on a six-digit dash is headed
by a 3 or 4, the reaction is often to disappear in the direction of
something that has travelled less distance, even though it may
cost a lot more.
Sometimes that’s a smart move, but distance travelled isn’t

This was the era when online auctions came to the fore; their
salerooms devoid of human traffic but back offices hissing
and clicking with offers being made and trumped. Buyers with
money earning literally nothing in zero-interest bank accounts
battled to own low-kilometre ‘survivor’ cars and superheated
the market with their determination.
Condition often made no difference, with rusty, rotted and
totally unusable cars sometimes selling for more than examples

the only killer when it comes to older vehicles. Cars that come
with a bag of receipts for recent work can be better prospects
than one that has travelled a third of the distance but with
minimal maintenance.
If you’re selling a car with a confronting odometer, the
temptation is often to go for gold with the asking price and
hold out until somebody seeking exactly the car you’re offering

auction site Grays Online.

PHOTO  JAGUAR

JAGUAR XJ SERIES I-III
JAGUAR’S E TYPE ranks
as its most visually compelling
model, but the XJ6 Series I was
without doubt the brand’s most
important.
The XJ Series radically
influenced prestige-vehicle
design and left it in Jaguar’s
keeping for more than a decade.
The XJ6 blended traditional
leather trim and walnut veneers
with immense strength and the
most sophisticated suspension
available at that time beneath a
mass-production saloon.
Jaguar’s Sir William Lyons
was personally responsible
for the XJ’s engaging shape.
Nowhere upon the Series 1
exterior did the word ‘Jaguar’
appear, simply because the
people who built them knew
that their new car could not be
mistaken for anything else.
Lyons’ influence waned
during the 1970s and quality
during the horror period of
British Leyland ownership
caused serious problems for
Jaguar and its reputation.
The models that suffered
most were Series 2 and early
Series 3 cars, however diligent
owners with deep pockets have
helped survivors overcome
many of the issues that caused
during the 1970s.
Still, it is worth when buying
any XJ Jaguar to be wary of
50

TradeUniqueCars.com.au

electrical issues, oil leaks and
rust.
The 5.3-litre V12 engine
began in 1972 and remained
until the end of the Series 3.
With a team of mechanics on
hand it’s brilliant, but well
beyond the scope of most
amateurs.
Cost and unreliability are
why V12-engined XJs remain
marginally more expensive
than six-cylinder cars of similar
age and quality.
The best buys are well-kept
and authentic Series 1s with the
4.2-litre engine or a rare shortwheelbase Series 2. These with
a manual transmission are like
gold to Jaguar collectors and
rarely come on to the market.
Even in auto form, Series 1
XJs have become rare, due in
equal measure to rampant rust
and people ruining them by
installing V8 engines without
modifying the suspension to
suit.
Excellent S1 cars typically
cost $25-30,000, while Series
2 and 3 versions in similar
condition are $10,000 less. If
you’re looking for luxury that’s
more reliable, don’t walk past a
mid-1980s' Series 3 Sovereign
either. Often advertised at
$20,000+ and can be slow to
sell, so make an offer and see if
the vendor accepts.

FORD FAIRLANE/LTD ZA-ZH
FOUR CHANGES of shape in
the space of 10 years, plus some
serious weight gains didn’t
harm the local Fairlane’s ability
to gain and retain customers;
many of whom would be
emulating its expanding beltline.
These rusted-on buyers were
generally male and middle
aged. Many would be selfemployed, often driving big
distances with scant regard for
fuel economy but demanding a
comfortable and uncomplicated
car.
The Fairlane for most of its
first decade came with the
option of a six-cylinder engine,
but not many sold and few of the
Custom version survive. The
Fairlane 500 was built around
a V8 engine; in the case of the
US-inspired ZA-ZB a 4.7 or 4.9litre. Then from 1969 until the
early 1980s a 5.8-litre, 351 cubic
inch motor was also available.
ZC-ZD Fairlanes began a
tradition where dealers would
‘load’ upper-echelon models to
suit specific buyers with a 351
engine and an eye-catching
shade. Add power windows, a
wind-back sunroof and vinyl
roof covering, then during
pre-delivery add aftermarket
air-conditioning.
The ZF-ZG shape arrived in
1972 and was seen in retrospect
as a mistake, with Fairlanes

too similar in shape to the XA
Falcon, though in five years,
more than 17,300 ZF Fairlanes
and 19,500 ZGs were made.
Ford changed its tune in 1976,
introducing a ZH model that
was bigger than any previous
Australian Fairlane; so big that
the six-cylinder engine option
was dropped.
The ZH was suited to
5.8-litre power; the bigger
motor necessary rather than
preferable due to new emission
laws, cutting power from the
4.9-litre from 179 to 151kW.
Prestige features were
popular, a trend that Ford
harnessed via its leather
trimmed Fairlane Marquis plus
the limited production LTD
Town Car and Silver Monarch.
Australia’s take on the
North American LTD became
the default for government
ministers and corporate
executives. In P5 form on the
ZF Fairlane, LTDs from 1976
used the bigger ZH body and its
distinctive Rolls-Royce inspired
nose.
Many Fairlanes were abused
or rusted away and wellpreserved survivors can be
costly. Most expensive will be a
‘loaded’ ZD 351 K Code which
can exceed $60,000, followed
at around $50,000 by 1973-75
LTDs or an outstanding P6
Town Car.

SOFT-TOP SURPRISES
PHOTOS  MAZDA/BMW/AUDI/MERCEDES-BENZ/NISSAN

WANT TO OWN A STYLISH SOFT-TOP FOR LESS THAN $20,000? HERE’S HOW
YOU KNOW that within the
limits of your budget, pretty
much anything built 30 to 50
years ago is out of the equation.
No decent MGB now costs under
$20,000 and even Mini Mokes
in fairly ordinary condition cost
more.
There are cars that fit
though, and do it easily, but
they are from the later-model
contingent, made during the
first decade of this century in

Europe or Japan. Most will be
loaded with fancy features,
and performance ranging from
decent to dynamic.
They all come with advanced
chassis design, great brakes and
grippy tyres. Plus, they have
convertible roofs which, unless
someone has poked a hole in
them, don’t leak.
The downsides to owning
such cars will include
bewildering electronics that

keep amateur tinkerers well
away from anything carrying
voltage and mechanical
complexities that challenge
all but the most specialised of
technicians.
Pick one of these as a
fixer-upper and you will almost
certainly be signing on for a
send-you-broke-r.
The fun part of owning a car
like these – perhaps excluding
the MX-5 – is that everyone

thinks that to afford it you have
been tapping in to the family
inheritance or up to no good on
the Dark Web.
These cars look like $100K
when parked on your driveway,
but you could buy one of each
for that amount and have
change. Keep the compliance
plate covered and chuckle as
your friends are out by a decade
when trying to pick the age of
your chosen car.

MAZDA MX5 NC
STAND BESIDE a very early Mazda MX5 and you won’t
believe it is almost 35 years old and qualifies for Historic
Vehicle registration.
Look at an NC version that is 20 years more recent and you
will marvel at how much of the original NA version survived
in to the 21st Century and how well the car still works despite
being of relatively ancient design.
The NC Series 1 arrived locally in 2005, with a 2.0-litre
engine and 12kW power gain over the previous model. Sixspeed sports automatic transmission was available, however
over 80 per cent of cars sold had the six-speed manual.
Air-conditioning was standard, the wheels increased from
16 to 17 inches in diameter and the sound system gained a
CD stacker. Series 2 cars available from 2007 need to have
clocked higher than typical kilometres to fit beneath our
budget cap.
That said, a good Series 1 is showing to be the least costly
to maintain of our selections, with parts still plentiful.

BMW 125i
UNLIKE MOST in this selection, BMW’s One Series soft-tops
attempt to provide rear-seat accommodation, even if it is only
useful for small children or a medium-sized dog.
There are One Series that cost less money or more and come
with smaller or more powerful engines. However, our allowed
$20,000 will comfortably fund a low-kilometre 125i with all the
features that the car’s original owner would have laid down a
minimum of $70,000 to acquire.
BMW’s 2996cc engine in this format delivers a very understressed 160kW and should last almost forever, providing you
keep up with the maintenance. These engines don’t like sludgy oil
and needing to rebuild a motor pretty much writes off the car.
Soft-top 125s are almost always six-speed automatic which with
paddle shifts is a faster option than the manual and as much fun.
More if you don’t want to be juggling a clutch in stop-start traffic.
The top folds electrically and disappears beneath a cover
behind the seats. Boot space isn’t brilliant, but at least you can
drop the top without needing to leave your groceries on the
roadside.

WATCH

Audi TT
IT’S ASTONISHING to consider that Audi’s feisty little TT
has been with us since 1999 and the Roadster since 2003.
The first versions were 1.8-litre with a turbo and produced
132kW, but within our budget limit will be 2.0-litre Turbos
from 2006-09.
These engines produce 147kW, with 0-100km/h arriving in
under seven seconds. Six-speed automatic transmission was
standard and some came with entertaining paddle shifters
that let drivers take full advantage of the torquey turbo
engine.
Audi’s Quattro all-wheel drive system intrudes hardly at
all on driver enjoyment; only noticeable on wet roads where
corner exits become less ragged than they might with just
rear-wheel drive.
The cabin is a tight fit and entry a challenge when the
hood is in place. Of course, if you own a soft-top TT you
won’t use the hood often because you want to be seen and
not much shows through those slit-like side windows.
Make sure the top unfurls without snagging and has no
splits or holes. Also check the vulnerable air-dam for impact
damage.

MERCEDES-BENZ CLK350
LOOK AT THE cost of a CLK350 when new and the
money they bring today and you will seriously wonder
why anyone buys a new Mercedes-Benz.
In case your dealer guide has gone missing, the 3.5-litre
CLK in 2004-05 cost around $115,000. Good ones
showing under 120,000km today are likely to cost maybe
15 per cent of new price. That is almost unbelievable
depreciation and driven to a large degree by fear.
Mercedes-Benz are complex cars. Choose one that has
been abused or neglected and the financial consequences
will be massive. But not a lot of CLKs suffer from neglect
or abuse.
Cars seen advertised in the sub-$20,000 bracket will be
almost 20 years old, with some systems failing or on the
cusp. Kilometres, if you intend using the car for recreation,
aren’t going to be an issue as your chances of adding
100,000km during the next 10 years will be slim.
Pick a car that has been scrupulously serviced, then
raid the online CLK parts bin for some sensors, switches,
window regulators and a new roof motor to help
future-proof your Benz.

NISSAN 350Z TOURING
WHEN NISSAN in 1978 launched its 280ZX, the purists looked
nervous. By 1989 when the mushy Z32 version arrived, they were
horrified.
Luckily and after a five-year hiatus, Nissan did remember the
origins of its Z Car and injected some bravado into the Z33 that
appeared in 2003.
Convertible versions came in Touring spec with 206kW or Track
with 221kW. From 2007, both versions were granted a power
increase and until replaced by the 370Z they offered owners
230kW plus bigger tyres on 18-inch wheels.
The 350Z top when lowered, fills the boot with fabric and
framework (as do some others in this grouping) and luggage
when running top-down will be limited to whatever you can
squeeze into the skimpy rear seat area.
Touring versions were auto only, with five speeds and a Sports
setting. Track versions were six-speed manual and would shave
a full second off the 6.7-second 0-100km/h time recorded by
Touring versions. They stop too, with huge Brembo discs doing a
poor job of hiding behind the five-spoke alloys.

2011 SHELBY TRIBUTE
IF YOU wanted a sports
car with an intriguing
giant-killer history behind
it, a Shelby Cobra Coupe
would be somewhere in
the top three choices.
From our feature
on them: “The sleek,
hand-built Shelby
Daytona Coupe proved
to be a world-beater,
writing an exciting new
chapter in racing history.
The Cobra Daytonas gave
Carroll Shelby and the
United States their first
World Manufacturers

54

Championship.”
With a story like that, it
was inevitable a few folks
around the world would
have a crack at building
tribute cars. This example
is said to have originated
from Warwick Harrison in
Queensland.
It’s running an injected
302 Windsor V8 with
Tremec five-speed
manual transmission.
Located in Brisbane,
it’s on the market at
$145,000.

TURNING UP to a car

Australian wagon is
guaranteed to introduce
you to lots of new friends.
There seems to be a

1975 MAZDA CAPELLA
IT’S NO secret that
mainstream Japanese
cars out of the 1970s have
a strong following and
we’ve seen prices rise
accordingly.
In the case of Mazda,
while the rotary-engined
hero cars have seen
sky-high prices, we’re also
seeing family cars such as
the four-door variant of
the Capella gain traction.
This represents a time
when Japanese makers
were gaining serious
inroads into international
markets, giving more
established players a real

run for their money. Part
of the formula was decent
build quality, high levels
of standard equipment,
good reliability and sharp
pricing.
It’s rare these days to
see a good example of a
1600 Capella sedan come
on the market. This one,
a manual, is said to have
had $30,000 spent on
it and comes with airconditioning and power
steering.
John Conroy in
Brisbane has it on the
market at $42,000.

1965 FORD THUNDERBIRD
WE RECKON if
you can cope with a
bit of flamboyance in
your driving life, it’s
hard to beat a sixties
Thunderbird.
Americans have always
thrown extraordinary
resources at the personal
coupe market and this
series is a good example.
The interior is
usually a special place,
particularly given the
era. As our feature on
the series says: “Those
seeking glamour in their
motoring experience
will appreciate the

58

environment of a
Thunderbird cabin.
The individual seats are
broad and sumptuous
and usually electrically
adjustable. Behind
the huge, deep-dish
steering wheel sits
a comprehensive,
chrome-laced instrument
panel.”
The standard driveline
for this era was the 390ci
V8 with three-speed auto.
This example is with

NOT ONLY IS THIS VK GROUP A/3 A FORMER UNIQUE CARS COVER CAR,
OUR VERY OWN UNCLE PHIL PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW!
WORDS  UNIQUE CARS  PHOTOS UNIQUE CARS ARCHIVES

$POA
UNIQUE CARS stalwart ‘Uncle’ Phil
Walker knows our featured Group A/3 very well indeed. He
bought the car new from a Victorian HDT dealer and used it as
regular transport before selling it to the current owner back in
the mid-90s.
“I’ve said this to many people over many years and I haven’t
changed my mind,” Phil insisted. “That car was one of the best
performance and touring cars in the world at the time, the
equal of anything European, and one of the most enjoyable
cars out of the many I have driven.”
Driving the Group A makes your senses come alive. The
steering wheel is smaller and it feels so connected to the

wheels, through corners it is very stable and the Bilstein
dampers do a great job. The ride is quite firm as back in the
day stiffness was seen as better handling.
It’s very Australian and as good a modern classic car as you
are going to get.”
At the pinnacle of HDT production and certainly the most
desirable of the VK versions sat the Group A/3. Using the same
196kW engine as other Formula Blue Group As, the A/3 was
built on the better-appointed Berlina platform.
With only two-owners and a full history, this rare Blue
Meanie is now on the market and looking for a new caretaker.

T CHARGER
OF ALL the great stories
in Australian motor
manufacture across the

Charger is easily in the
top three.
In our feature on an E55
we noted: “For something
that effectively began as a
skunkworks project done
on the fly, the Charger
scored incredible success
and retains phenomenal
cultural traction among
petrolheads. “
The E55 represents
the ‘coulda-been’ with
Bathurst ambitions

62

that never made it,
thanks to the infamous
supercar scare of the
period that brought
further development to a
grinding halt.
However, a small
number of these
high-spec coupes were

This example is said
to be largely unrestored
aside from a closed-door
repaint some time ago. It’s

1965 HEALEY SPRITE
IT’S SOMETHING you
don’t see a lot of these
days, but there was a time
when mini roadsters such
as the Sprite and MG
Midget were a common
enough sight on our
roads.
They essentially offered
sports car thrills on a
tight budget and in a
compact package that
was generally simple
enough to maintain by
the home mechanic.
While early Sprites
were very much a Healey
product, by the time this
generation came along

they were part of the
larger BMC group and
were essentially the same
as the MG.
As our feature on them
explains: “Designing
one car and selling it in
several different guises
and trim levels was a
BMC forte.”
The powertrain
for this version is a
1098cc inline-four with
a four-speed manual
transmission.
It’s with the Healey
Factory in Melbourne,
priced at $19,500.

1970 FORD XY TRIBUTE
WITH THE supply of

them as part of the mix.
They’re an expensive

1959 SUNBEAM ALPINE
THERE WAS
something special
going on in the British
car industry of the late
fifties through to the
sixties, with gems such
as the Jaguar E-type and
the far more affordable
MGB, or even the Morris
Mini having a huge
international impact.
Less famous but very
much in the mould
of the more popular
MGB was the Sunbeam
Alpine.
It was the classic
mix for the period: A
nicely-styled two-seat

roadster body matched
to a 1600 four-cylinder
engine and four-speed
transmission.
In the meantime, the
parent company the
Rootes Group dabbled
in endurance racing
with the Alpine and the
Harrington variants.
This 1959 example
has had a restoration
which includes a new
soft-top and the factory
detachable hardtop.

MONARO GTS 327 WAS A PIONEER OF AUSTRALIA’S MUSCLECAR
SCENE THAT GAVE THE GENERAL SUCCESS IN MANY WAYS

A

region in eastern New South Wales is where the
Holden’s Monaro got its name and came to being
after GMH executive Noel Bedford saw a sign ‘Monaro
Shire Council’, as he drove into Cooma on holidays. He
thought it sounded pretty good and not dissimilar to
Camaro, GM’s American muscle car.
On return to the office, he threw the name into the ring and
senior management liked it and ran with it.
Under GMH Design Director Joe Schemansky and HK
Monaro designer John Schinella the coupe, named Torana
during its clay model stages, took shape and was introduced in
July 1968.
Holden’s first coupe was a roaring success in showrooms,
on the track, and with the media, giving the brand its maiden
Bathurst and Wheels Car of the Year wins.
The Monaro was part of the all-new HK range and offered in
three trim levels: Monaro, Monaro GTS and Monaro GTS 327.
The base model Monaro was a mundane affair, with its
standard 161 cubic-inch six and three-on-the-tree manual
or two-speed Powerglide auto. The GTS got a power boost
thanks to its bigger 186S inline-six.
Back in the day buyers could mix and match specs far
better than now and you could order a base Monaro with the
optional 186 or 307 V8 donk, while GTS buyers could also

“THE GTS ALSO SCORED BUCKET SEATS AND A TACHO
HIDDEN DOWN ON THE CENTRE CONSOLE”
opt for the 307 V8.
The GTS also scored bucket seats and a
tacho hidden down on the centre console.
The flagship and reason for the Monaro’s
existence was the GTS 327 and its 250
horsepower, 5.4-litre V8 Chev paired with
a Saginaw four-speed manual, limited slip
diff, a large 25-gallon fuel tank, tweaked
independent front and live axle rear

TradeUniqueCars.com.au

suspension, disc brakes up front, drums
on the rear and 14-inch wheels running
DR70-14 cross plys.
The Monaro GTS was offered in six vivid
colours, Bright Blue Metallic, Ermin White,
Inca Gold Metallic, Picardy Red, Silver Mink
Metallic and the very familiar Warwick
Yellow. In July 1968 you needed a hefty $3796
to get yourself a GTS 327.

The Monaro was conceived to win races
with all eyes on the Bathurst prize. That Ford
had won the previous year with the XR GT
Falcon was a thorn in the General’s side and
huge motivation to knock the Broady boys off
the mountain. But more of that later.
In Guy Allen’s Unique Cars Monaro GTS
327 Buyers Guide (October 2020) he quoted
the September 1968 edition of Wheels

HAMBERS
CLIFF C

GTS 327 MONARO
MARKET GUIDE
TOP This V8
made this car so
special.
BELOW Keith
and the GTS in
full flight.

HOLDEN’S ORIGINAL Monaro changed
the way Australians thought about their
Own Car.
For just $315 above the price of a
Belmont sedan you could own a Monaro
in six-cylinder, column shift manual
form but still sharing its shape with the
cars that in 1968 would dominate the
Bathurst 500 endurance race.
That GTS 327 version was nirvana
for Monaro lovers. Under the bonnet
was a rumbling Chevrolet V8, inside on
the console where no one could see it
the first tachometer ever installed in a
Holden. Outside were striking colours
like Warwick Yellow and Bright Blue,
with the all-important GT stripe running
front to rear.
Figures released by Holden many year
ago confirmed that 15,637 HK Monaros
were built, with more than half being
the six-cylinder 186S GTS. Perhaps
surprisingly, 1192 of the GTS 327 were
made.
The top spec models didn’t benefit
from any extra rust protection or special
treatment though, and over the years
numbers have dwindled to perhaps a
couple of hundred genuine cars.
That word genuine is important too,
because many lesser Monaros in years
past have acquired Chevrolet power
units and GTS 327 features. The item
that can’t be faked – not legally anyway
– is the 81837K Build Number Prefix
which identifies the car as an HK GTS
327 coupe.
Looking back at 2005-07, some
ambitious buyers were pricing their cars
at $300,000, however it would take
until 2017 before one actually made
$302,000.
It was followed three years later by a
jump to $320,000 before a seriously sad
‘survivor’ car during 2022 attracted a
winning bid of $200,000.
Prices since then have stayed flat
as interest rate hikes influenced the
speculative end of the older vehicle
market. There remains every chance
though that an exceptionally good
and authentic 327 will again exceed
$300,000.
Authenticity is an obvious
requirement and scarce colours can
add value as well. Documents that track
a car’s history right back to its original
selling dealer confirm provenance and
can help values.

“IT’S A FUN THING TO DRIVE AND A DREAM

magazine reporting on the Monaro media
launch. It went like this: “With predictable
modesty, the GMH publicity boys have
described the Monaro as a ‘shattering’ car…
at the very least, however, the car is startling.
A pillarless challenge to the Falcon GT.”
Gracing these pages is the Warwick Yellow
Monaro GTS 327 of Keith Riddell.
Keith turned 18 in 1968 and was keen

couldn’t afford one. He used to drive past
Preston Motors, the Essendon Holden dealer
every day.
“One day I was heading home in my
FB Holden, said Keith, “when I spotted a
Warwick Yellow Monaro GTS 327 sitting in
the showroom, that moment etched into my
brain for life.
“I couldn’t afford it so modified my FB.
“Three years later I decided to buy a new

car. I wanted a Monaro but couldn’t find one
and ended up with a Glacier White Premier
V8 with a three-on-the-tree manual that I still
own 52 years on.”
Keith’s Monaro quest took a step closer
in 1993 when his mate Rodney Horton went
to the Summernats and got talking to his
cousin, who told him of a Warwick Yellow
GTS 327 for sale in Queanbeyan.
Rodney bought the car which was
complete minus the engine. He rang Keith
and told him of his purchase and over the
next few years, Keith pestered him, asking for
first right of refusal should he want to sell it.
Keith said, “Rodney rang me in December
1995 to say he’d bought a Camaro and
couldn’t keep both cars and offered me the
Monaro. I jumped in my car and raced over

to Moorabbin and saw it in a factory and bought it on
the spot.
“I acquired another engine with the correct block
and the guy had saved the rare air cleaner and rocker
covers and all the nuts and bolts.”
Over the next couple of years, it got some work
done on it including the engine installation and it was
registered in October 1997.
Keith said the Monaro was in good nick when he got
it but with rust in the usual place in the quarter panels
where the back windows are. The paint had faded and
its last rego was in 1979 so it had sat idle for the next 14
years. It was sideswiped on the driver side and the rear
quarter panel and front guard had been replaced.
“The body has a bit of bog and isn’t pristine”, Keith
said, “I didn’t want a show pony as I have a mate

running an XU-1 in club race meetings and I wanted to

“I didn’t want a pristine car that could get damaged.
But it’s a genuine 81837K car with build number 137

it hasn’t been raced. It runs the correct and original

ratings and part numbers on the shocks.
“The engine has got a cam in it and what they call

ENGINE &
TRANSMISSION
Once, when GTS
327s were just
another old Holden
being maintained as
best they could by
struggling owners,
engines from any
kind of V8 Holden
were fitted, as were
mismatched cylinder
heads or the wrong
transmission. Check
the engine number
against registration
or delivery records
and slash the amount
you pay if the
motor isn’t original.
Cars advertised
as mechanically
sound need to be
just that, with no
oil leaks, exhaust
smoke or reluctant
oil pressure. A nonstock carburettor will
detract from value
and may make the car
drive strangely. The
original four-speed
gearbox is likely
to whine and send
vibrations through
the gear-lever but
be wary of clunks
when shifting or a
shuddering clutch.

BODY & CHASSIS
Assuming the car
is authentic, then
comes the in-depth
examination which is
best undertaken by
someone very familiar
with the Monaro body.
Cars that have been
recently restored and
selling for serious
money should show
no signs at all of
rust or excess filler.
Cheaper ones might
show age-related
bubbling, paint fade
and brightwork pitting
but that can all be
rectified. Initially
look for bulges and
bubbles in the rear
quarter panels, turret
edges and sills.
Make sure when the
doors close there are
consistent gaps and
they don’t need to be
lifted to shut properly.
Hinge repair kits are
available. Look hard
for rust or repairs
around the rear spring
hangers. Reproduction
bumpers are available
at $700-800 each,
with original HKHG bars in usable
condition at $300500.

RACE WINNER

STUNG BY FORD’S WIN IN 1967 GMH WANTED A CAR TO COMPETE AT
BATHURST. THEY CREATED ONE THAT DID JUST THAT AND MORE

NOT ONLY WAS the Monaro racing off
showroom floors, it was also racing to victory
in Australia’s biggest race, the Hardie Ferodo
500 where Bruce McPhee and co-driver Barry
Mulholland won and gave Holden its first
Bathurst win.
Before the 500 nine Monaro GTS 327s
lined up at Sandown Park, Victoria in
September for the 3-Hour Datsun Trophy
race, the Bathurst curtain raiser.
Two Victorian rally aces Bob Watson and
Tony Roberts, both new to circuit racing and
on provisional race licences teamed up and
won.
It was the pairs’ third ever circuit race
and three weeks later, armed with full
competition licences they headed to Bathurst
for the Hardie Ferodo 500, as one of eight
starters in a GTS 327 Monaro and finished
third.
We caught up with Bob to ask him about
those times.
Bob Watson began working at Holden
in 1958 undertaking an engineering
cadetship and by 1968 had moved into
the experimental area working on chassis
development, initially on the Holden HR
suspension and disc brakes then onto

the HK program.
“Fairly early on Holden decided they
wanted to run a car at Bathurst,” Bob said “So
senior managers John Bagshaw and Peter
Lewis-Williams went to Detroit and sourced
a powertrain, the 327 engine and Saginaw
gearbox and it went from there.
“John Finlayson was the senior guy
and he and I did all the ride and handling
work on the Monaro. We’d go to Holden’s
Proving Ground at Lang Lang every day, put
our helmets on and played racing drivers
(laughs). John was very knowledgeable on
shock absorbers and that sort of stuff. We had
a 289 Falcon GT to benchmark ourselves on,
and soon realised we had a better car.”
Bob had been rallying for the Holden
Dealer Rally team for five years and Tony
Roberts was a draftsman at Holden. They
met in the GMH Motoring Club which at
the time had upwards of 1000 members
and competed against each other and as
teammates in rallies.
“There’s a bit of a background story about
the Sandown race. Tony bought the Monaro
and popped in an entry for the event and
then we saw in the CAMS manual there were
no speed records set for that category of car.

“We decided to have a crack at a record
attempt at Sandown in August. We hired
the track, ran under CAMS supervision and
ended up setting 16 Australian speed records
in the Monaro before racing it at Sandown.”
By the time of the Sandown event both
Tony and Bob were very familiar with the car
and track.
According to Bob the series production
rules allowed you to adjust the front
suspension, modify the exhaust after the
entry into the first muffler and you could
blueprint the engine. “Our engine was done
by Brian Sampson of Motor Improvements
and gave us another 500 revs up the back
straight at Sandown,” Bob said. You could
also change brake pads.
Bob claimed the Ford representation was
quite strong and Harry Firth, who ran the
Ford team, knew Watson and Roberts from
rallying and was keeping an eye on them.
“I think we qualified third and we decided
we weren’t going to change brake pads in the
race,” said Watson.
“There was a compulsory pitstop to
change drivers and refuel and we decided
to have a go on one set of pads. The other
Monaro runners didn’t have our experience

with the car and didn’t know how long the
pads would last.
“After the pitstop we were running third
with an Alfa in second and Alan Hamilton
leading in a Porsche.
“Hamilton’s co-driver was a lot slower
than him and the Alfa lost a wheel so all of a
sudden we were leading the race (laughs).
“I’m trundling around and behind us was
Alan Jones, in another 327 and we had a fair
lead. Five laps before the end the brake pedal
went rock hard. We’d worn the pads out and
the metal backing plates popped out of the
callipers, so there was nothing. I’m throwing
the car sideways into corners to wash off
speed, the crowd must’ve thought I was a
lunatic. We were losing 8 seconds a lap with
no brakes.
“Jones was catching me and there’s the guy

80

holding the chequered flag. But it’s a timed
race so nobody knew how many laps were
left and each time I came down the straight
I’m thinking, come on you bastard wave that
bloody flag.
“In the end we did get there and we won
by 8 seconds. It was unbelievable and total
euphoria.”
The car was then prepped for Bathurst at
Bill Patterson’s Holden workshop and they
picked up sponsorship from Pat Cullen, a
Liverpool (NSW) Holden dealer and BP.
“We were going to trailer the car to
Bathurst and got as far as Broadmeadows but
the trailer was wobbling so badly we rolled
the Monaro off it, loaded it up with what we
needed and drove it to Bathurst,” Watson
said.
The Bathurst track was horrible and like

driving on a country road with broken edges
and dips and patches. Watson and Roberts
hadn’t seen the track before practice and
were well off the pace.
“Thanks to our rallying backgrounds,
though working for Ford Harry Firth took
Tony and I aside and told us where and when
to do what around the track,” said Watson.
“We immediately improved our lap times by
around 12 seconds and qualified fifth.”
“It was incredible and we finished fourth,
but a car in front was running oversize valves
and was disqualified, so we ended up third.”
“After the race we were sent to Bathurst
Motors to have the flywheel weighed. The
crew had left so Tony and I pulled the
gearbox out, had the flywheel weighed,
put it back together and drove it home to
Melbourne the next day.”

F

or some folks, that bedroom-wall-poster
thing never goes away. Oh sure, some of
us grow up and do sensible things with
money, like buy houses and investments
and school shoes for the kids. But some
people, even if they have done all that
sensible stuff, just never scratch the itch to own
that special set of wheels. Until they do. Luis
Rivera is one such individual.
“When I was a little kid, I had a poster of
a black Porsche 930,” Luis coughs up during
his Unique Cars therapy session. “The shape
was always one of those things…the sound is
unmistakable. You could hear one anywhere
and know it was a 911. I have an interest in

a wide range of cars; I love 50s cars, chrome
bumpers, you know. But that sound and the
go-kart feel of a Porsche always dragged me
back.”
By 2015, Luis was still to make good on
his promise to his young-fella self, and while
his wife `got’ his passion, seems she was the
designated grown-up.
“Over the years, I kept asking, can I get
one? No. Can I get one? No, let’s focus on the
house. But eventually, this one came along with
everything I wanted and I got the green light.”
“I found it on an online site at about 9.45 at
night. I remember thinking, is it too late to call?
But I called anyway. The car was in Queensland

– it was previously a Melbourne
car – and a bloke had bought
it for his wife, who was a drag
racer. She hadn’t exactly lost
interest in it, but racing must
cost a lot. So I was the lucky one
who got to free up her finances.”
An emailed video, some more
pics the next day, one cheque
in the mail and a transport
truck later and the 911 was back
in Victoria.
The car itself is a 1981 911
SC. For a while, the SC was
kind of the poor relation of the
G-Series cars. Those looking

84

TradeUniqueCars.com.au

for a regular drive wanted a
3.2, purists wanted a 2.7 and
wannabe racers were chasing
3.0 Carreras. Which left the poor
old SC somewhere in no-man’s
land, hanging out with draughty
Targas and oil-dripping 964s.
But hey, have a look at the prices
of G-Series Targas right now or,
even more so, the stickers on
the windows of 964s, and you
can see how that has changed
quite a bit.
And when you stack the SC
up against its asking price, it
starts to look pretty good. For

a start, the post-1976 bodies
were the first fully-galvanised
ones meaning rust is a much
smaller problem. The SC was
also the first 911 to get (mildly)
boosted brakes and Bosch’s
old-faithful K-Jetronic fuel
injection was added. The engine
is embiggened by 300cc over the
2.7 and the crankcases are alloy,
not the earlier car’s magnesium
which was a fair chance to suffer
pulled head studs in the normal
course of things. Fact is, the
three-litre SC engine is reckoned
to be one of the stronger units

out there, helped possibly by the
fact that it’s a bit under-stressed
in the first place. And, yes, it
needs plenty of revs to deliver
but when the tacho hits about
four-grand, boom, we’re off to
the races. And hey, why did
you buy a 911 Porsche in the
first place? To stooge around at
2000rpm? Yeah, nah.
Luis reckons his car has
seen its share of love over the
decades, too, and even though
it’s a private import, starting
life in the UK, the engine was
given a big freshen-up a couple

a bit scuffed up, but as well
as being the originals, they’re

“There are actually a few

kids and others) and decided
a bit of artwork would improve
the seats. The reason I haven’t

redone them is that
they tell the car’s

NO SOONER HAD THE VOLVO GONE A
W124 BENZ APPEARED OUTSIDE THE MBC

A

t the risk of making Britney Spears
look like an amateur; oops, I did
it again.
Within – literally – hours of
handing over my lovely Volvo
142 to its new owner, I’d shaken
hands on this; a 1990 W124 Benz 260E.
Not that there was anything major wrong
with the Volvo (far from it) but a W124
Benz remains one of my favourite cars of

all time. So while the Volvo was rare and
gorgeous and had jaws dropping all over
town, the Benz is worth a lot less, is vastly
more common and doesn’t stop people in
their tracks. But it’s also a car that I swore
to myself I’d own one of these days. And, a
few weeks ago, that day came.
Fellow UC contributor, Phil Lord, is
really at fault here. While playing dream
garage a few months ago, I’d let slip that

should the right W124 fill my cross-hairs,
I’d have a lot of trouble resisting the urge
to adopt just one more. Sadly, Lord has a
good memory so, when he saw this pop
up on an online auction site, he dropped
me a note to see whether I was as good as
my word.
The compounding factor was that I’d
only just completed a Variety Club Bash
from Melbourne to Cairns the back way in
another 260E owned by my rally-driving
partner, Watto. And the way that threedecade-old W124 destroyed the miles
between points A and B, day after day,
convinced me that I’d been right about
W124 all along.
How long? Well, at the risk of revealing
why my knees creak and my hair is grey, I
actually road-tested the W124 in its various
forms for car magazines back when it was
still filling new-car showrooms. Blimey!
And at the time, my view was that nobody
built a better, more competent, more
accomplished four-door sedan. Nothing
much has happened to change my mind
there, either. So you can maybe begin to
see why a W124 was always destined for
the driveway at 13 Struggle Street.
I made a quick phone call to this
car’s seller and arranged to have a look
94

“SORRY MATE,” I TOLD HIM, “BUT I JUST CAN’T
BUY THIS CAR. I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE
MOTOR SOUNDS LIKE WHEN IT DOES RUN”

TOP The baby

and a quick test drive. But when I turned
up to see the car, the seller had moved it
from the carport into the sunshine on the
driveway. And now the bastard wouldn’t
start. No matter what we tried, that inline
six would not fire.
Trouble was, the rest of the car was
mint. Despite the 214,000 showing on the
odometer, the car was sharp with great
paint (bar a few isolated blemishes in
the clear coat) an interior that looked
like it had never been sat in and even a
set of those great alloy wheels with no
signs of kerbing. The tyres were new,
there was one tiny oil leak (that was an
obviously easy fix) and in the glovebox
was a pile of receipts for stuff like a
new exhaust system, tie-rod ends and
suspension bushes… all dated within
the last handful of years.
So why wasn’t it running? The seller
was totally up front on the phone, telling
me that the car had developed a habit
of stalling at the lights and sometimes
being difficult to restart. This was, then,
probably related to the same problem,

but taken to the next level. And the poor
bloke was almost in tears.
“Sorry mate,” I told him, “but I just can’t
buy this car. I don’t know what the motor
sounds like when it does run, I don’t know
if the brakes work or if it’ll even move
under its own steam. And if I get it home
and find that the tranny is toast, suddenly
I’m upside-down in the deal.”
“Yeah, I get that. But make me an offer,”
he almost pleads with me. “I’ve sold this
house, everything’s going into storage and
there’s nowhere the leave the car. It has to
be gone by this week. C’mon man, make
me an offer.”
“I don’t wanna insult you,” I admit.
“Trust me, you won’t offend me.”
Finally, I throw out a stupid offer that is
a fraction of the former asking price. He
shakes his head: “Can’t let it go for that,”
he says.
But then, he throws out an only slightly
less stupid offer and we shake hands. Yep,
I’ve just bought a car I haven’t even heard
running, let alone driven. What the hell am
I thinking?
Now, to anybody who wants to jump up
and down and claim that I’ve robbed the
96

TradeUniqueCars.com.au

bloke, here’s the reality: The price I paid
was really within a few hundred bucks of
what I’d have been prepared to punt on
a non-runner with a Euro badge. Like I
said, had I dragged it home to find the diff
was junk or the engine had a blown head
gasket, I’d have been in trouble. So the
price was based on the fact that, if any of

around W124s. Turns out, everything
points to the ignition system.
The first thing to check is an overloadprotection relay (which checked out fine)
followed by the distributor cap. By this
stage, I’d decided to do what I do with any
elderly second-hand car, which is go right
through the ignition system. Which meant

“SO WHAT DIDN’T WORK? NOT MUCH.
THE AIR-CON IS STILL TO BE SORTED OUT,
BUT IT’S WINTER HERE NOW, AND I KEEP
FORGETTING ABOUT IT”
those disasters was actually the case, I’d
be able to wreck it out and get my money
back. I might be mad, but I’m not stupid.
Meantime, if I was able to fix the
problem simply and cheaply AND then
work out that everything else worked, I
might just be the luckiest bloke ever to
buy a second-hand car. So I started asking
questions of blokes who knew their way

replacing the plugs, rotor button, leads and
even the coil. But like I say, these are just
service items for a purchase like this.
And whaddaya know? As soon as
Bondini and I had swapped the dizzy cap
and hit the key, the old 2.6 straight-six fired
up instantly and magically settled down
to a perfect idle. We let it build up some
heat, checked that it would restart hot

w
LEFT Still in
excellent nick
¢\HDUVRQ
BELOW A new
GL]]\FDSJRW
LWILULQJDQG
VPRRWKO\

and then drove it straight to the pub for a
celebratory counter-attack.
And believe it or not, everything else
(with the exception of a handful of detail
things) worked perfectly. Not only that,
but this car is just smooth and so silky,
Bondini was almost speechless. Almost. It
rides brilliantly and has that typical W124
steering feel and rear-end composure
thanks to the clever multi-link rear
suspension.
So what didn’t work? Not much. The
air-con is still to be sorted out, but it’s
winter here now, and I keep forgetting
about it. The vacuum-operated central
locking didn’t work either, but I traced
that back to a lack of power to the vacuum
motor under the rear seat. I thought I had
it worked out when I spotted the blown
fuse, but every time I changed the fuse, it
blew instantly. So I checked what else was
wired into the same circuit and discovered
that when I disconnected the power
antenna, the fuse stopped blowing. So now
the central locking works, but the radio
doesn’t. Win some, lose some.
The big test came when I sent it away
for a roadworthy. I needn’t have stressed.

The bloke who did the roady was fizzing
at the bung when I picked it up, declaring
it was one of the nicest cars of its age he’d
ever had the privilege of tearing into. When
I told him what I paid, he nearly fell over
backwards.
In the end, the 260 failed its RWC on the
first attempt for want of three globes not
working; the PRNDL light, the high-mount
stop-light and the number plate lights.
The first two were just blown globes, the
latter took a bit more figuring as the wires
had broken where they pass through the
boot-hinge and had been flexing whenever
the boot was opened in the last 33 years.
Two days later, the lights were all working
and the W124 was officially roadworthy.
A day after that, it was sporting a number
plate and I haven’t stopped driving it since.
This is seriously a bit of me, I tell ya,
and even Mrs M admitted “I don’t hate
it” which puts the Benz w-a-y ahead
of anything else on the grid at home.
Every other time I’ve dragged another
stray home, she’s turned her nose up at
the whole idea of being forced to pack
light (The Boxster) or have her organs
rearranged by weapons-grade suspension

(everything else). And for some reason,
she doesn’t see the potential to tag 150
miles-per-hour to be anything to write
home about. Who knew?
And despite the relative lack of
straight-line thrust, I’ve got a feeling that
for longer journeys and interstate runs,
the W124 is going to become the default
setting. Honestly, this car is absolutely as
good as I remember them to be brand-new
back in the late 80s. Best sedan in the world
then, best sedan in the world now. And
that’s despite the 33 years and 215,000km
that have passed beneath the wheels of this
one. Change my mind.

Peak Chapman
I’ve been helping my old pal Chuck
Ripplejaw finish this just lately. Yes, it’s a
Lotus Clubman, but the tricky bit is that
it’s a Series 3. Why’s that tricky? Because
there are some important differences when
compared with a Series 1 or 2 car.
The mechanicals speak for themselves,
but when it came to fitting the new guards
to the new sheet metal that graces the
spaceframe, many heads were suddenly

MORLEY’S WORLD

being scratched. What we were trying to
figure out for sure was exactly where the
guards were supposed to land so we could
secure them.
The rears were kind of easy because their
correct location can be indexed from the
lower, tubular section of spaceframe which
needs to correspond to the larger hole in the
fibreglass guard (or nothing will line up).
Having worked out that much, we drilled the
holes in the right spots and added a couple
of Clecos to locate things before we attach
them permanently.
But the front guards? Different matter.
Fundamentally, there are just too many
variables. See, the front guard (or wing,
since we’re speaking Lotus) attaches to a
stay located roughly below the windscreen
post and then at the front via a strut that also
mounts the boggle-eyed little headlights.
Thing is, that front mount swivels and can
be mounted in any number of positions
throughout its arc. And until you know
where it will eventually fall, you can only

guess where the rear stay has to be
attached to avoid the car looking like it’s
doing the bird dance.
You can’t even trust the guard itself to
tell you where it wants to sit. The fibreglass
has plenty of flex and who knows how
true it was when it first popped out of the
mould?

The problem then became that we had
no blueprints or technical drawings for
the car. But we did have a good, side-on
photograph of a Series 3 in a Lotus book
Chuck had on the workbench. But while
it showed where the rear stay should sit,
there was no way to work out a hard-point
from the photo. Or was there? I grabbed

“THE PROBLEM THEN BECAME THAT
WE HAD NO BLUEPRINTS OR TECHNICAL
DRAWINGS FOR THE CAR”
Eventually, we figured that if we could
work out where the rear stay needed to be
mounted, we could then lay the guard over
it and work forwards to the point where the
front stay swivelled into a position where
everything started to fit snugly and – more
importantly – looked okay.

a ruler and measured the distance in the
photo from the stay’s lowest point to the
bottom of the sheet metal, and then to the
top of the sheet metal.
Turns out, the photo showed the
distances to be 6mm and 10mm
respectively. From there, we could

measure the depth of the side of the actual
car, divide that by 16 and then work out
the attachment point by making sure we
had 10/16ths above the mounting bolt and
6/16ths below it.
So we mocked that up and, lo and
behold, the guard actually settled into
place like it was always meant to be there.
It’s more scientific than either of us was
expecting it to be, but it also proves the
point that probably no two of these cars
were ever identical. Not to mention proof
that, in some cases, if it looks right, it
almost certainly is.
This might also be the time to tell you
that I have a love / hate relationship with
these things.
On a tight little race track with short
straights, they are absolutely bliss on a
stick. But on the road, especially if, as I am,
you are missing enough chromosomes to
tackle an interstate run in one, you’ll soon
conclude that, sometimes, walking aint so
bad.

I found my first Fulvia
Zagato, a 1969 series I in 2012,
tucked away in south coast
NSW. The car was a barn find
and it still has its original NSW
window label identifying it as
last registered in 2000.
It was owned by a lovely
elderly gentleman. I was the
first to call and immediately
bought it. He later told me
the phone didn’t stop ringing
all day. He was a lot like me,

did all the work himself, but
quality finishing wasn’t his
strong point as the car was
painted over with a rattle can.
Years later I posted him photos
of the finished car, to which he
replied graciously with a short
message saying “Well done”.

SHIFTY SHIFTING
A

recent visitor to the workshop was Guido’s partner
Ms M, with a sick and sorry BMW E39 540 Sport.
The transmission was acting strange, with rough
gear selection and then sometimes refusing to
change. This was not a good sign.
We suspect she loves that car more than her husband
– maybe it’s more reliable.
Anyway, it runs a ZF five-speed auto, which is a
popular fitment across a lot of brands in five- or sixspeed form. They have a tendency once the mileage
gets up (this one had 200,000km) for the Torrington
bearing in the front to fail and start to chew the front of
the pump.
What you’ll notice is when you put it in drive, is that
it can take a little time to pick up the gear. That’s the
telltale, as are clunky changes courtesy of leaking
pressure internally.

TradeUniqueCars.com.au

The biggest problem is they’re so expensive to fix –
we ended up spending about $7500 on this one. And
there is the decision for an owner: Is the car worth it?
In this case it was. The interior, body, chassis and
engine are all good and will remain so for a very long
time into the future. Plus, it’s still a really good car to
drive. You don’t want to throw it away.
Guido tells me the car cost its first owner $160,000
new back in 2003, and then $17,000 when he bought it
in 2015. So it now owes them about $25,000 and easily
has another decade of use in it. Given it’s a fairly highend car, that still seems like decent value.
Mr BMW probably wants you to throw it away and
buy another, but if you love the thing, just spend the
money on getting it fixed – it will probably be a lot less
than the first year of depreciation on a new one.
All those well-built cars – BMW, Benz, Volkswagen
and so on – can last a lifetime if you look after them.

Auction Val
Hi Mick, I’ve recently bought a
VH Valiant Regal at auction and
overall am happy with it.
It’s running a 245ci six with
auto and the report prior to
auction gave it a reasonable bill
of health – not perfect, but good
enough and it is an old car.
There are no glaring problems
that need to be tackled and it
looks like it will get through a
roadworthy.
However, I wondered if you
had any advice on how to treat a
‘new’ purchase like this?
Jim Evans

AUCTIONS OFTEN work
brilliantly, but the thing is
you often don’t really know
the car and its service
history until you get it home.
So, if you’re going to work
on it at home, change all
the fluids. With engine oil,
you’re looking for metal
contamination, coolant
and have a sniff for petrol.
Regarding the diff and
gearbox, you’re looking
for metal.
As for the coolant, look
for a good colour and no
oil. With brake fluid, you’re

changing for something
fresh.
So with a bit of luck, you’re
not going to get any alarm
bells going off and now
you have a car that’s had a
birthday and you both know
where you’re starting from.
Valiants were prone
to rust in the bottoms of
everything – sills, doors and
so on. I’d have a good look
underneath, particularly for
cracking in the chassis rail
near the steering box. They
were weak because of the
three holes that were drilled
through there, and were
prone to rust in the bottom
of the rail as water could get
in but not out.
Set up right, they’re a
good reliable car and well
worth hanging on to.

Escort rubber
Hi there. I have a MkII Ford
Escort, which I love. It’s been
dead easy to look after and a lot
of fun to drive.
However like a lot of people,
I suspect, I don’t do big miles
in it and I’m wondering about
giving the tyres the flick. They’re
nearing 10 years old, but have
heaps of tread and don’t seem
to have any cracking – you’re
thoughts?
Andy Jones

THE THING with tyres is
they gradually go off over
time, no matter what you
do to them. Sun can be a
killer, which is one reason
why you’ll see people put
away race tyres in bags, out
of the light. However, even
that won’t preserve them
forever.
It’s the nature of the beast
that tyres go hard over
time and eventually, it’s like
driving on rocks. Now, if
you’re driving the car more
or less regularly, you may
not notice the deterioration
that much as it’s gradual.
Then you’ll get a shock over
how much better the car
feels when you do buy fresh
boots. Short answer: Tyres
now aren’t overly expensive,
go and get new ones!

Kingswood cooling
G’day Mick. I have an old HZ
Kingswood 253 wagon, with auto,
that’s running just fine. Love
it. But the radiator is showing
signs of getting past it and I’m
wondering what I replace it with.
Should I go all modern and
put a big alloy item in, or do I
need to?
Sandra Kingston

TOP Rock-hard
tyres tell you
it’s time for new
boots. And tread
depth has nothing
to do with their
lifespan.

REAR-VIEW PIONEER
Who came up with
the rear-view mirror
that we all take for
granted? It’s credited
to the Marmon Motor
Company in the USA,
and in particular the
Marmon Wasp Type
32, which won the
inaugural Indianapolis
500 in the hands of
company engineer
Ray Harroun,
who came out
of competition
retirement for
the event.

MICK’S WORKSHOP

MODERN FLOOD
If you have your modern
injected car switched
on but not running, do
not tap or play with
the throttle. If you do,
the injectors dump a
load of fuel in and it’s
now flooded just like
your old carby car. The
trick is, when you put
the pedal all the way to
the floor and hold it, it
cuts the fuel signal to
the injectors as there
are no speed sensors
happening. That allows
the engine to clear as
you turn it over, and then
let it idle a little while to
complete clearing.

YOU HAVE to admire the
good old 253 – can’t kill
them. They just seem to go
forever and they’re a great
engine to cruise with.
Okay, if you were hotting
up the car, my answer would
be different, but assuming
you’re leaving it more or less
stock and you’re just doing
normal driving with it, I’d
stick close to the original
recipe.

The old radiator specialists
are still around, and I can’t
emphasise it enough to pay
the extra and get a proper
copper and brass one
made, much like the original.
Upgrade the core rating
from two to three and it will
last another 50 years.
Here’s an old-school tip:
Your car will already have
an earth strap from the
negative terminal on the
battery to the block, but fit
another to a radiator mount.
It reduces stray current
and stops it eating at the

thermostat housing.
As for what you run in the
radiator, a normal 50/50
green coolant/water mix is
perfect.

Fiat freshen-up
Hi, I have a Fiat 124 coupe
with the 1600 double overhead
cam engine and manual
transmission.
It’s a great little car and the
body is sound, but I get the
feeling the engine is getting tired.
What do you suggest?
Mike Simmons

LEFT An engine
rebuild? Just do it.
OPPOSITE PAGE
Kingswood wagon
looks majestic.

WHAT A great-looking car
and a fantastic thing to
drive. Do it all – from the
crankshaft bearings and up.
With a little luck the bottom
end will be fine, but I’d still
be checking.
There’s also a good
chance you can reuse the
pistons, unless there is a lot
of ovality in the cylinders.
How you check that is with
a set of outside verniers,
measure the top of the
cylinder and then push it
down to the middle and see
if it wobbles. What you’ll
commonly get is the top
and bottom of the cylinder
are okay, but it’s got oval in
the middle. That will tell you
if it needs to be rebored.
Usually, the expense will
be in redoing the head. You
want hardened valve seats
for unleaded fuel and may

well be replacing valves,
guides and so on. If the
cams are looking iffy, they
can be reground and I think
you’ll find replacements are
readily available.
They were a strong little
motor and it will last well if
it’s done properly.

P76 hunt
Hi Mick. I’ve got a thing about
tracking down a Leyland P76
in reasonable shape, a V8 for
preference.
Do you have any advice on
what to watch for?
Don Anders

GEE, AREN’T they in
demand now? I know a
bloke with three of them,
so they may be addictive.
And I hope you saw the big

feature on them in issue
480 of Unique Cars mag.
The V8, a local
redevelopment of the Rover
3.5, was an absolutely
brilliant engine. In fact it
was so good, people would
buy old P76s just so they
could pull the engine out for
another project.
The big thing with them
is the body. The metal feels
thin and they do rust, so
that’s what is most likely to
dictate whether what you’re
looking at is viable.
The driveline doesn’t
present any great
challenges – or none that
can’t be overcome.
Original trim will be
harder to get, but there is
lot that can be done in the
original style.
Of course the standard
advice still works: It’s
often cheaper to pay a
premium for a genuinely
good one than to try and
restore a car. Good luck
with your search.

THE EXCUSE FOR ANOTHER CASUAL SUMMER FLING

WORDS & PHOTOS  GLENN TORRENS

OVER THE PAST few years, I’ve
registered several cars on H plates as they
become eligible on New Year’s Day of
their 30th year. That means I have a glut of
car registration renewals arriving by mail
during December. But last year an oversight
with shuffling all those rego papers from
my mailbox to my ‘Things-To-Do’ pile
meant I missed the also-due-in-December
rego of my normal boring white dailydriver wagon.
Oops!
But you know what? A suddenly
unregistered daily-driver car wasn’t much
LEFT Five years ago I repainted the
driver’s door and the boot lid during

of a hassle. For summer, I was planning a few days
cruising/camping in my ’89 Mitsubishi Pajero and
I’d intended to drive my ‘Bombodore’ paddock-find

last year so I was overdue for some relaxing summer
bum-time in it.
Within minutes of dropping its top for the first
time in months, I was in love again! It was a glorious
feeling. Instead of using the main highways around
my area, I zipped along some of the back roads and
rather than smash the ‘snooze’ button on my alarm
on Saturdays, for a few weeks I got out of bed and
went for a blue-sky summer sunrise drive to find a

nice café for a yummy brekky.
However, there were a few things that needed
attention on this now 33-year-old car. It was due for
a routine service – oil, filters and brake fluid, that I
did one Saturday afternoon – but lately, the electric
windows have been getting a bit lazy too. I’d also
noticed a couple of bubbles of rust inside the left
door jamb.
One day, an under-bonnet squawk grabbed
my attention. A fat stack of paperwork/history

the rear suspension. There’s more age-related
disappointment, too, with the paint. Five years ago
the paint began flaking off the driver’s door and the
boot lid. Co-incidentally I was doing a TAFE course
in body panel/paint at the time so the two damaged
panels were stripped to bare metal and refinished
as part of my training. I knew, then, that it was only
a matter of time before the rest of the paint began to
fall off. It’s a known problem with white MX-5s (and
I’ve had it happen with a white 1990s Nissan, too)

“TO BE HONEST I’M SURPRISED THE PAINT
HAS LASTED 33 YEARS”
was provided with the car when I bought it seven
years ago including confirmations the timing belt
and water pump had been replaced at 100 and
200,000km. So I hope it’s not the water pump that is
squealing at 255k… but if it is, then I’ll simply have to
deal with it.
More noise: driving to the shops one day I
noticed a clang coming from somewhere in
118

TradeUniqueCars.com.au

and to be honest I’m surprised more paint hasn’t
fallen off!
So, I reckon my Mazda will soon score a coat of
fresh white paint… and I might also replace the
drop-tops foggy back window and the tattier areas of
interior trim.
It all goes to show, even the most loving
relationships have their rough patches!

05 Although rarely
driven the 33-yearold MX-5 still
needed a thorough
inspection and
service. Only took a
Satdee arvo.

LIKE OLD SOCKS IN A WASHING MACHINE, WHAT HAPPENS TO THEM ALL?
IF I CONNECTED all the
threads from all the T bags I have
ever used, the string would reach
to Le Mans and back.
If I could find all the tiny
spring washers I have dropped
into the unreachable depths of
all the cars I have ever owned,
they would fill a skip.
If the horde of many years’
worth of lost spanners, pliers,
screwdrivers and sockets all
magically rematerialised I could
open a tool shop and would
never need to work again.
Like odd socks in the washing
machine, what happens to them
all?
120

TradeUniqueCars.com.au

As I press energetically
through what is optimistically
tagged as ‘middle’ age, my
dexterity deteriorates in tandem
with my libido. While the
ambition is still there, I am much
better - as a mechanic I need to
clarify - in my mind than in the
real world.
Mysterious as that existential
crisis is, there are other puzzles
in my garage. It seems that
despite lost spring washers and
sockets, all my recent work is
paying off.
For the first time in about a
decade, a majority of the cars
in my shed are actually going.

Reliably starting, driving and
returning home. Not leaking.
Not needing any urgent fettling.
A pleasure to drive. When I tuck
them back into their cosy nest, I
can simply turn off the ignition,
shut the roller door and walk
away.
I am not sure what to do with
myself. This is alien territory,
confusing and psychologically
challenging. I am habituated to
feeling needed and am unsettled
at having a garage with cars that
do not need urgent repairs.
In the absence of distraction,
I have recommitted to
coachbuilding the wooden

frame for the 1926 Citroen
Caddy tribute (a polite way of
describing a replica). My dusty
amateurish efforts, relying
on revived secondary school
carpentry skills, will keep me
sneezing and coughing while
busy preparing for the car’s
centenary. I vowed to have
it finished by 2026 and like
most vows, that may need
renegotiating.
The ’A’ pillars are done, so
next I will mock-up a waistline
as a guide, a stable datum point
to align with the location of the
eventual tip of the boat-tail.
Then all that is required is to
fill in the gaps. Sounds simple,
but keeping it square and
symmetrical is a mind-boggling
challenge.
Elsewhere, the 1970 Jaguar
Series 2 E-Type restoration is
progressing at an alarming and
expensive rate. It is becoming
familiar territory to visit the
toyshop that is Historic &
Vintage Restoration in Blackburn
in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs,
a motoring Aladdin’s cave, and
to find myself gaping at my own
car instead of those belonging to
other car nuts. My relationship to
the place is totally transformed
when I have skin in the game.
Each visit when I tiptoe
through their roller-shutter and

stare at the cars, it is an almost
out-of-body experience. There
are historic race cars, a Pagoda
Merc, a huge imperious 30’s
Bentley, a magnificent Delage,
an early Maserati, various race
cars and objects of automotive
envy far more precious than
I can imagine. And amongst
them, my soon-to-be resurrected
Jaguar!

has to be grafted on to provide
the power for the element, the
warning light and the switch.
English electrics - need I say any
more?
Reinserting the 6-cylinder
engine - complete with freshly
ceramic exhaust manifold, new
clutch, engine mounts and
countless other preventative
maintenance items - was done

“FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ABOUT A
DECADE, A MAJORITY OF THE CARS
IN MY SHED ARE ACTUALLY GOING”
Since the painter finished
with my E-Type, the silvery
sound/heat deadener has
been installed, using modern
materials instead of the less
efficient - and flammable as we
discovered - originals.
The sound-mat was followed
by the complete new wiring
loom with all its mysteries
gradually plumbed. Bizarrely,
the rear-hatch glass demister
wiring connection is not
included in the loom, even
though it’s a factory fitting.
Jaguar provide such delightful
little surprises - an extra loom

from below so as not to disturb
and inevitably compromise the
freshly painted lattice frame and
scuttle.
Fitting the new stainlesssteel exhaust proved to be not
as straightforward as expected
- the middle muffler mounts
were missing and had to be

fabricated, but then it all aligned
and connected as designed. How
it will sound remains a mystery
but it looks fantastic.
After a small disruption
caused by a non-original petrol
pump, the fuel tank is now ready
to be connected. Back in its past
when originality for an E-Type
was not as important as it is
now, a cheap substitute pump
was hooked up, along with its
bracketry. I am wanting the car
to go back to OEM whenever it
is manageable, although not a
concours finish, so reverting to
a standard fitting is well within
my parameters. It looks right and
will deliver a better flow than the
discarded substitute.
Local parts suppliers charge
a hefty premium compared to
those in the UK, but once the
cost of freight and delays are
factored in, it is six of one and
half a dozen of the other. As
the bills keep mounting, way
beyond all imagined estimates,
I may have to recycle tea bags
after all.

Being conscious that last issue’s

several about favourites from the
legendary Browns Lane factory,
I also recalled the numerous
honourable mentions I’ve given
to many other Brit brands over

It was then that I realised I’ve
been ignoring the room-filling
presence of that most obvious of
British automotive pachyderms,
the Rolls-Royce.
It was a recent media report

TradeUniqueCars.com.au

about a celebrity-owned ‘Roller’
that dragged the aristocratic
British marque out of my
blind-spot and on to centre
stage. A 1974 Silver Shadow
bought new by Brit comedian,
the late Eric Morecambe,
will be offered by Silverstone

weekend wearing a pair of the
comedian’s personal EM100

bring to mind eye-watering
results like the AU$8.3M that
Carroll Shelby’s personal
‘Super Snake’ Cobra attracted
a couple of years ago, the

British don’t do the celebritycar thing quite as hysterically
as their trans-Atlantic cousins.

auctioneer’s top-whack estimate
for Rolls-Royce EM100 is an
affordable AU$77,000.
Frankly it’s nothing new for
cars wearing Rolls-Royce badges
to be off my radar. Aside from the
obvious disqualifiers like their
price-tags and the rarefied socioeconomic atmosphere they
normally inhabit, ‘Rollers’ have
just never grabbed me. They
got off to a bad start during my
teenage years. Again affordability
aside, why would a young
petrolhead even consider a car
that didn’t smoke its tyres or
produce a soul-stirring exhaust
note, was never raced by Norm
Beechey, and would be a pig to
repair on the side of the road?
As well lust-worthy cars needed

to be a bit cool, and a touch
edgy – what self-respecting kid
wanted a car that his parents, the
neighbours and his girlfriend’s
parents approved of? Instead
think Ford Customline with loud

purchase price (around
8000 current dollars) for the
magnificent, ready-to-run
Merlin, another enthusiast
snaffled it. My plans to rig it
up in the shed ready for static
demo-runs for visitors were lost
in a moment. Sympathising, my
then-colleague, the late Howard
Marsden spoke of his own
youthful dalliance with a RollsRoyce engine that progressed
further than my total fail. He and
a fellow college-student were
building a Formula 5000 style
open-wheeler in the early-1960s,
a time when OHV V8s were
scarce in the UK – except in

“SOMEONE AT CREWE POINTED
OUT THAT ‘MIST’ TRANSLATES AS
‘DUNG-HEAP’ IN GERMAN”
twin exhausts, no hubcaps and
matte-black wheels. Now that
was a car…
Despite my lack of passion
for Rolls-Royce cars over the
years, big R-R aircraft engines
have always pressed my buttons.
While at Ford about 50 years ago
I had a missed-it-by-that-much
moment involving an awesome
Rolls-Royce Merlin V12 aircraft
engine. During the time it took
to gather together the $600

‘Rollers’. A 6.2-litre V8 donated by
Rolls-Royce to power a “studentproject hovercraft” mysteriously
found itself bolted instead to
the transaxle of young Howard’s
racer. Rolls-Royce became aware
it had been dudded through
local press coverage of the lowbudget racer’s debut outing in an
article featuring its surprisingly
upmarket powerplant. While
retrieving their engine the
grim-faced R-R officials spoke

very sternly to the enterprising
duo, including threatening dire
consequences for any repeat
misbehaviour.
Despite my relative
obliviousness to goings on at
Rolls-Royce over the decades,
a bullet the company managed
to dodge during my student
days sticks with me and still
gets me grinning. Picture the
Crewe engineering team hard
at it developing an important,
substantially revised model to
supersede the very successful
Silver Cloud for 1965. Meanwhile
deep in the bowels of the
marketing office the modelnaming committee in a ‘Eureka’
moment decided to run with
‘Silver Mist’. “Well done lads. Nice
‘Cloud’ to ‘Mist’ transition. Let’s
get badge designs underway.
Tally Ho!”
Apparently it was some time
later, quite close to Silver Mist
launch-date apparently, when
someone at Crewe, familiar
with German – the language
of a very important market for
Rolls-Royce – pointed out that
‘mist’ translates as ‘dung-heap’
in German. The new model was
rapidly re-christened the ‘Silver
Shadow’ and went on to become
a top-seller for the company,
still flying the R-R flag proudly
in 1974 when Eric Morecambe
toddled in to his local R-R
dealership.

S

ome things leave a lasting impression
on a young bloke. Back in the ’60s Jim
Luccario was courting his first wife when
he took her to a racetrack and saw the
great ‘Stormin’ Norman Beechey drifting
his Chevy Nova II through a bend, with his elbow
on the door and one wheel in the air.
Five decades later Jim added this bright red
1962 Nova II 400 coupe to his collection, which
also includes a worked 1983 Ford Bronco XLT,
’28 Ford Roadster hot rod, ’55 Ford F100, 2008
HSV Maloo and national concourse-winning ’65
Thunderbird that he owned for 32 years before
reluctantly selling 18 months ago. You could say
the 76-year-old has an eclectic taste in cars.
Jim bought the Nova from a mate who
imported it six years ago and he’s been slowly
restoring it since. “It’s a California car and it
was pretty straight,” he says. “I’m guessing it
had a paint job in the States, the top of the car
was originally white. It had new bumpers fitted
before it was exported and I just gave it a good
polish and clean up. There’s no real rust in
the car.”

In 1962 base model Novas – which were
classed as an ‘economy compact’ – left the
factory powered by either a 2.5-litre four
or 3.2-litre six, not exactly guaranteed to
get your adrenalin up. To get a hot Chev V8
buyers had to stump up more than half the
base price of the car for a dealer-installed
Corvette 327 and so the Nova SS 327
was born.
Jim’s Nova is not an SS but there is a
327 under the bonnet and he’s done a lot
of work on it. After dropping the sump
recently he was surprised to discover that

“HE WAS SURPRISED
TO DISCOVER THAT
THE ORIGINAL BLOCK

VERSION”
the original block is a rare four-bolt version.
Mods include Edelbrock heads, manifold
and rocker covers, Holley 650 carby, new
pushrods, roller rockers and cam followers, a
“decent” camshaft and new exhaust system.
“I got a sparky to go through the car and fix
all the wiring and it’s got a new starter motor
and battery and a new heater core; it looks
pretty respectable under the bonnet
now,” Jim says proudly. The
transmission is a Turbo 350.

“THE ORIGINAL FOUR-STUD, DRUM-BRAKE AXLES
WERE REPLACED BY A DISC-BRAKE CAMARO FRONT END”
and cash into the brakes and suspension too.
The original four-stud, drum-brake axles were
replaced by a disc-brake Camaro front end and
a ’64 Nova drum-brake rear end with five-stud
hubs and rims upsized from 13 to 15-inch
diameter. With a boosted dual braking system
the Nova stops a helluva lot better than it would
have in 1962. The suspension’s had a bath too
with new shocks, ball joints, coils and bushes.
Although the Nova II 400 model was regarded
as more upmarket, particularly the two-door
convertible and pillarless hardtop coupe
versions, the spartan interior still reflects its
budget position in the 1962 Chevrolet lineup.
But a shiny new dash with modern Auto Meter
instruments and updated (FM-capable) Chevy
radio add some gloss to the body-coloured cabin
of Jim’s Nova, and his view from the driver’s seat
is dominated by a classic two-spoke steering
wheel and a large Pro Tach nestling at the base
of the A-pillar.
Jim’s Nova is 61 years new but Jim admits he’s
finally slowing down and his wife’s recent illness
has meant less time in his workshop.
“I’m halfway through restoring the F100 and
that’ll take another two or three years and that’s
pretty well gonna see me out,” he shrugs. “I did
have plans for this little car, I rather like it, but
things are gonna move on especially when you
get older. I’m 76 and starting to feel it.”
And so, the Nova must move on to a new
home too and it’s currently for sale for $64,500.
