Looks like Norms FC racing a single tone FC Special at Oran Park 1969?? Title: Re: Norm's Race Car?? Post by: normd on May 23, 2005, 03:18:26 PM Hey Craig
Good pic once again , but this would be a little early for mine , it was built by Keith Croft in 1970 , and was (yuk) green for a few years . there were about 12-14 FE/FC's around at that time, alas , a lot of guys stripped the mechanicals , dumped the shells >:( and updated to Toranas. But you just gotta love the yellow ;D (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v138/normd/fc-old002a1.jpg) Norm :) Title: Re: Norm's Race Car?? Post by: craiga on May 23, 2005, 07:04:17 PM Norm,
On looking closer it does look like the yellow car is too small to be an FE/FC. Oh well, the black special is cool anyway!! Cheers, Craig. Title: Re: Norm's Race Car?? Post by: normd on May 23, 2005, 10:26:33 PM Craig
Black one sure is cool , notice those day's you didn't need to strip the chrome fittings from the car , bit dangerous in a "prang" :-/ the Yellow car , could it be a Simca ( remember the old slogan " Some car that Simca" ) , Mmmm, maybe I'm showing my age here ;D Norm :) Title: Re: Norm's Race Car??

It sure looks like a Simca they had the 4cyl Flash motor in them and a 4 speed column change. Hey Norm your not showing your age it's only your knowledge. ;) Cheers Al Title: Re: Norm's Race Car?? Post by: Spinner on May 26, 2005, 10:53:22 AM There's no need to talk about Simcas Aronde here!
It is interesting how the profile of the cars change when the glass is removed. Brett |
