There was an FC racing at Phillip Island in the Historic Touring Car Section.
 
Brendon Wilson in Car No. 53 the Cameron Street Mower World 1959 FC Sedan, pretty much stock.  drum brakes, column shift, grey motor, etc.  Looked pretty good too chewing up the EHs.

Kevin,
 Â        awesome pics! do you have anymore?. looks like a very kool fc- shame we couldnt make it down.
its really good to see an fc 'racing car' out there doing what it does best :)

did it have a stock motor?
tests have proven that the final words before a fatal urban car crash are "OH ****"

in a rural car crash they are " Hold my stubby and watch this for skill!"

Check the brake ducts under the front bumper  8) and the toe in on the front wheels  ;D ....... and the grille badge!!  :o

You restorers must be cringing looking at that!  ;)

The Grille badge was the first thing I noticed.  I'm pretty sure Brendon said the grey motor was running a single carburetta and single exhaust.  The FC had to be pretty much standard to be in ths Class he was in.  I didn't ask what engine work has gone on inside the motor.

I would be interesting to find out tho.
