The blue FE belongs to Eddie Dobbs - ex Blanchard car and very fast for a grey. The Ken Zinner "FX" Humpy is also a very fast car and has been sold on. Ken produced "Zinner gearboxes" for early racers including mine - grey box with later model internals and very strong.

Dave do you have any photos of my FC - red - white stripe- no 53 - did have Brendan Wilson's name on the guard.

Thanks Weddo for tne information and the pic of your car ...looks great ....

Similar to this Appendix "J" FC I snapped a pic of back in about 1980 ...It was Corowa based and for sale in a used car yard in Ballarat Vic ...

Wonder what ever happened to it ?

Thats a great pic Dave, and the same car I would think.

Restored for racing by Brendan Wilson in 1984 and raced ever since
I still have the white steel wheels with my semi slicks on them.
