Looking forward to this, Col.
It would want to be BIG $$$ for one of those babies. You're looking at $25,000 - $30,000 for a Waggott.
Try & find out the cast number if you can. There weren't that many made.
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

I had a long chat at Eastern Creek with the guy who has the Waggot in the Humpy. He said they made either 7 or 9 of them. regards John  |

Col
Can not wait to see the photos. I have seen and admired the Waggot at the adelaide motor museum, but never in an FC.
Cheers Jim

g'day fella's,

cheer's col. I researched and wrote a piece on the Waggott-headed Humpy in last month's Sideplate, and John is correct - only 9 of them were made between 1953 and 1962, which equates to 1 a year. They either had triple Webers or six Amals fitted to them, and Merv Waggott later estimated he probably lost £500 on every one he built. At least one of these was bored and sleeved to an amazing 180 cubic inches!!! cheers RET |

I was referreing to the one with WAG-00T plates that was seen at the Shannons Eastern Creek Classic in Sydney a couple of months ago.
It is owned by the Waggott family.
The one we're itching to see is apparently in an FC...
cheers

g'day,
well i just got off the phone to the
fella that own's this beast,the engine
was out of an fj.it does have the
six amal carb's,and can't recall the cast
number at the moment.the where about's
of it will not be disclosed other than it's
at his property central N.S.W.
i ask if i could post his number to people
wanting info but rather they go though
me,as over the year's a lot
of people only had one thing there mind -
the where about's of this beast.
sorry to gee everyone up but the pic's
are still coming,as he is not young and
hasn't got a computer.
P.S. he asure's me this is no (apparent fc).
cheer's col.

Why are we waiting, WHY ARE WE WAITING?? .... lol  Bring on the Waggot pics !!!  Can't wait to see the pics with Amal carbs in place and all, will look real neat. It seems fitting Amal carbs to each cylinder head port was popular with racing vehicles at the time, Don Algie used to get around the racing circuits in the early-mid 1960's with a wicked XK Falcon kitted up with six 1-5/32" motorbike Amal carbies. If I can get access to a scanner then I'll post pics of this F#@d as the vehicle looks sik with the Amals fitted up. Cheers ...... Pete |

Awesome pic Col, just that bodyflash kit more than makes up for no actual Waggot pic !!! By the way, can someone enlighten me on what particular style that FC bodyflash kit is? As far as I can tell, it resembles the 'Crestline' style but hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Cheers ...... Pete (P.S - anyone willing to part with a complete and intact Detroit kit for an EJ??) |

Hi Pete.
Sorry to hi-jack this thread for a second. But I may be able to help with a flash kit for the EJ. I was offered one a year or so back. I will give the guy a call & see if he still has it.
I actually have a complete EH Detroit kit. Not sure how that would go on the EJ though.
