Thanks for the info Bill, I think we all would love to hear that one running.  I think the red line is a little low.

  

God Bless.

I am curious as to what kind of hills a car like that would be climbing? a Pikes peak kind of race or what? Are there anything more than ant hills in Austrailia? It looks more like Indy material to me.

Billy, thats a good question and originally i explained it in the missing reply previously lost with site problem and forgot to re explain. I too had thought hill climbs were the pikes peak, dirty, dusty, gravelly, up hill times trial racing and that interpretation of hill climb i had in my mind when Jon campton brought the 292 for it and i asked what sort of car it was for, he described the car as rear engined with pipes sticking up so i thought car was like a BAJA BUG? big desert racer style car, so didnt compare the picture of car as that car at this time. I believe the car ran circuit racing originally but was re classed and ran hillclimbs. I believe it is on a sealed normal style race track running times/classes, bit like  watered down formula racing hence its formula style lines.  Would love to have a drive!!

yyy.

I was stationed in central England during the mid 60's and used to attend hill climbs often. They are an a lot of fun. The Brits will take almost any old racer and make a hill climb machine out of it. Seems the same thought applies here. Actually Hill climbs against the clock are FUN! Chuck in NH
