Blacktown Auto-Pro had a display at this show with two FC Special Sedans that they are in the process of restoring.  These are going to be given away in a competition to celebrate the 45th anniversary of their shop.  They're both '59 models, too.

cheers

Here are some other pics from the day:

Our cavalcade of cars.  Note the impressive Steptoe and Son backdrop - one of the larger club displays there and look at the primo spot we're given. ::)

Check out the way this racer has had the grey head drilled to route water back to the radiator.

I had hoped to get a better picture of this restored race-car when the weather cleared, but it didn't happen.  When the rain was about, this concours race car - there's no other way to describe it - was under a car-cover.  It's grey-powered - do the carbies on the driver's side intrigue you?

Yes, that's right, Repco cross-flow head.

Thanks to the guys from the Vintage Racing Club for their time on the day.  We had a great old yak about getting serious mumbo out of a grey motor.

cheers
