SIMPLEZED IS CAR DEVELOPMENT TOO COMPLEX?

RE-ENGAGING WITH the Datsun 240Z recently does make you wonder whether we’ve really advanced that far when it comes to design, over the intervening half century. We have a lot more electronics and safety features, and there is no question that when you drive a really good-handling modern car, it will eat something like a 240Z alive. But there is still something about the Zed – and a few other cars of the era – that just doesn’t seem to happen so frequently these days. Maybe it’s the cheap and cheerful simplicity of them. In the modern era, the car that I reckon came closest to reliving that feeling is the early Mazda MX-5. It’s a similar recipe – not the most powerful engine on the planet, but for its time a good-handling and relatively basic rear-wheel-drive car that’s all about fun. There’s something I read recently, and I’m buggered if I can find it among the chaos that is my life. But the gist of it was the author was asking whether the new generation of drivers coming through are being denied the pleasure of a very basic and therefore very cheap, simple car that’s about driving and nothing else. Yes, it said, we need to meet certain safety basics, such as seatbelts, airbags and ABS. Do we really need a whole lot more? If you look at much of the current advertising out there in the automotive world, it’s all about buying a rolling entertainment

system and a lifestyle, and absolutely nothing to do with the ‘c’ word. I swear I’ve seen several where the word ‘car’ isn’t even mentioned. Anyway, our author was arguing there may be a market for a very basic two-seater, stripped back to being a fun thing to drive and nothing more, with just the basic safety nets. He reckoned it would appeal to a young market that didn’t want to throw huge money at driving, and just might bring on a new generation of enthusiasts when they discover how much fun it is. I suspect you might get a whole generation of older enthusiasts g up, too, re-engaging with what they’ve been missing all these years. As the wonderful Datsun publicity shot on this page proves, makers marketing lifestyle with a car is anything but new. The idea presumably was to show the 240Z as a desirable thing even among rich folk who can afford to keep nice horses. As someone who has owned and ridden horses in the past, it carries a different message. Both the hay-burners and the petrol-burners are great fun, but you have to treat both with a lot of respect as they both bite. It all depends on your point of view. You know, a latter-day first-gen Zed just might have me waiting outside the dealer’s door at opening time. Guy ‘Guido’ Allen

HISTORIANS SEEKING EX-HOLDEN STAFF FOR NATIONAL LIBRARY PROJECT MONASH UNIVERSITY and the University of Adelaide historians are seeking former Holden employees to interview about their working experiences, for an oral history project to be housed at the National Library of Australia. Holden ceased vehicle production in October 2017, ending more than a century of automotive manufacturing in this country. The research team will draw on the memories of those who worked at Holden between 1945 and 2017 in an attempt to unearth the remarkable history of the company and its workers. Professor Alistair Thomson from the history program at Monash University said that “although Melbourne’s GMH plants at Fishermans Bend and Dandenong closed much earlier than the South Australian plants, working for Holden is still a powerful memory for many former Victorian Holden workers, perhaps especially in Melbourne’s southeast, where residential suburbs created in the 1950s and ’60s catered for Holden families. “Holden’s history also illuminates the impact of 12

postwar migration upon Australian workplaces and suburbs.” Associate Professor Paul Sendziuk from the University of Adelaide’s School of Humanities said: “South Australia’s largest private employer for much of its lifespan, and the linchpin of the state’s manufacturing sector, Holden’s final factory closure evoked grave concerns for its workers and the hundreds of smaller component manufacturers and local businesses that figuratively and literally fed its factory and workforce. “The role that workers, and the working-class communities in which they lived, played in Holden’s business warrants thorough investigation, as does the effectiveness of the company’s attempts to help its workforce transition to new jobs,” he said. “Whereas most histories of Holden – and histories of automotive manufacturing in general – focus on the mercurial careers of senior executives and the cars, this project puts manufacturing workers and places at the centre of the story.”

Stewart Underwood worked at Holden for more than 40 years, after ing as a 16-year-old in 1969. “I had come from England and ed a cosmopolitan workforce of British, Greek, Italian and Polish migrants, and established Australians,” he said. “By then, Holden was employing plenty of women as well, mainly in the trim fabrication area.” Anyone who worked at any of Holden’s Adelaide or Melbourne-based factories,

such as Woodville, Elizabeth, Dandenong and Fishermans Bend, is eligible to be interviewed as part of the project. Those with stories to share are urged to the researchers via the project website, www.ua.edu .au/holdenhistory, email [email protected] .au, or phone (08) 8313 6352. The project is ed by the Australia Research Council, GM Holden, the National Library of Australia, and the National Motor Museum.

MOTORCLASSICA CROWN 2019 MARKED the tenth year of Motorclassica. Over 140 competitors entered the concours competition with Best in Show awarded to a rare Primrose Yellow 1959 Aston Martin DB2/4 MkIII owned by Anna Purcell. Paul Mathers, Motorclassica Event Director, said, “Each year our of judges are forced to make judgements on the most minute of details,

as the standard of entries continue to exceed our expectations. This year has been no exception.” The MkIII Aston is one of 551 produced and one of two in factory Primrose Yellow. The car underwent a nut and bolt restoration overseen by Alan How at Creative Custom Cars in 2015 and no component was left untouched. Thousands of hours were invested in

SEEN SOMETHING?

research to ensure every detail was correct. Show-goers over the three days were asked to vote for their favourite vehicle, resulting in Nick Grakini’s fantastic 1971 Toyota Celica GT Coupe taking out the gongs for both People’s Choice Award and the Japanese Sports Car class. Ross Morgan’s 1924 Hispano-Suiza H6B captured the Chief Judge’s Spirit of

Motorclassica award. Restoration of the Year was won by Wayne Fitzgerald and his 1924 Bentley Speed model 3-litre Vanden-Plas Tourer. Geoffrey Mitton’s 1904 De Dion Bouton V won Pre-War Open, with Chris Meany’s 1931 Rolls-Royce Phantom II Continental Saloon taking out the Pre-War Class Closed. Gary McMillen’s 1928 Bentley 6.5-litre Vanden Plas Tourer was the best Pre-War Bentley.

KERMIT THE SKYLINE

FIAT 500

NSX SHOPPER

LANCIA INTEGRALE

when imported Skylines ruled the modified car scene? This R33 GTS-T has seen better days but looked surprisingly good in the "autosalon" candy green. Let’s hope it gets a second chance on the road.

When you own an original Fiat 500 it seems parking is never a problem and if you need to get it off the street, even a verandah will do. Cute as a button it sure beats looking at a row of pot plants decorating the front of a home.

I can't the last time I saw an NSX, let alone one parked in a carpark next to a trolley bay! I love these and wish I purchased one when they tumbled in value. A totally unuffordable supercar nowadays.

Spotted this gleaming red Lancia on my commute home and it sure looked great! A nice change to the charcoal and grey blocks surrouding me in peak hour. What an Italian beauty!

LOST IN at the outbreak of WWII, this 1939 Corniche has undergone with a ground-up rebuild by Bentley. The Corniche, a streamlined design and a quantum leap forward from traditional Bentleys of the 1920s and 1930s, was lost in in 1939 after being extensively damaged in a traffic accident whilst undergoing testing. The chassis made it home to the Bentley plant in Derby, but the bodywork was destroyed in a bombing raid on Dieppe later in 1939 and was never seen again, until now. The rebuilding project started several years ago by volunteers from the WO Bentley Memorial Foundation and the Sir Henry Royce Memorial Foundation, but was brought in-house in February 2018 under Chairman and Chief Executive Adrian Hallmark, who wanted it to be completed in 2019 to celebrate Bentley’s centenary. Using only the original technical drawings from Mulliner, Bentley’s in-house bespoke and coachbuilding division, this unique Corniche

has been rebuilt in Crewe using original Corniche and Mark V mechanical components and a completely re-made body, identical in every detail to the original. Every aspect of the project from the special paint mixes – named Imperial Maroon and Heather Grey – to the unique interior trim and accessories such as the tool tray and even the Mulliner tread plates on the door shuts were created from scratch. “The 1939 Corniche was a clear step in Bentley’s design language which is evident when set aside the later and now iconic R-Type Continental. It is a pivotal car in the history of Bentley, demonstrating that even then, this great British marque was at the cutting edge of design and technology,” comments

Adrian Hallmark. “Mulliner’s stunning recreation of the Corniche clearly demonstrates our skill in restoring the greats from Bentley’s back catalogue as well as making beautiful personalised modern Bentleys.” “It’s been a fantastic team effort,” said a proud Stefan Sielaff, Design Director at Bentley and Director of Mulliner. “We have highly skilled craftsmen within Mulliner and around the rest of Bentley Motors, and they all have massive pride in what they’ve achieved with this car.” The Corniche made its first public appearance at Salon Privé at Blenheim Palace in September and was ed by Bentley’s Heritage fleet, which already includes WO Bentley’s 8-litre and the Birkin Team Blower, and will be exhibited at events around the world.

SHANNONS NUMBER PLATE AUCTION TOTALS $2.4M

THIRTY-EIGHT rare and collectible number plates sold for more than $2.4 million with the biggest seller changing hands for $181,000, at the recent Shannons

Motorclassica number plate auction. The biggest seller on the night was the Victorian number plate ’Q’. This was the first time in a decade that

a single-letter Victorian plate had come onto the market. This was closely followed by the Victorian motorcycle number plate ‘4’ at $150,000, which was a record price for a bike plate. A Victorian heritage plate number ‘781’ was the biggest seller of the 11 threedigit plates offered on the night, fetching $140,000. Other attractive number combinations bringing good money were ’99.888’ selling without reserve for $60,000 against an expectation of $25,000. Five-digit plates also got big numbers with '18.181' and '11.811' selling with no reserve for $52,000 and $50,000 respectively.

Porsche numbers ‘916’ and ‘934’ were predictably popular, selling for $108,000 and $102,000, while sequential plates ‘470’ and ‘471’ brought $112,000 and $107,000. Birthday plates ‘2019’ and ‘1998’ went for $57,000 and $58,000. Shannons National Auctions Manager, Christophe Boribon, was pleased with the overall $2.4 million result and the engagement of the enthusiastic Motorclassica auction crowd. “Interest in number plates continues to grow nationally and this result is reflective of that. We had a large number of bidders in the room and online and achieved some outstanding results,” he said.

With a completely new, more powerfull engine, clever styling changes and a price matching the EJ at $2102, made the EH value for money. It was these factors that created much interest prior to its release and lead to quick sales giving it the title of Australia’s fastest selling car ever. The new powerplant, dubbed the ‘red engine’, after the colour of its painted block, was available in two versions, it was more fuel-efficient and offered more power than the previous ‘grey engine’.

1968 HOLDEN HK MONARO GTS 327 `BATHURST`

$262,000

WHAT'S HOT ON THE BLOCK THIS MONTH

BUYER APPETITE for 60s Aussie muscle cars remains strong if the price paid for this GTS327 Bathurst Monaro is any indication. With a mere 57,568 miles showing on the clock, this one came with its original owner’s manual and service records. In an unmolested state it is said to be in original condition and rust free with an unmarked interior and good paintwork. It has been with the one owner for the past forty years and is a two-owner car.

WHAT'S MOVIN' AND SHAKIN' I

BMW E36 M3 The second generation of BMW's famed M3 was produced from 1992 to 1999 and has recently stepped out of the shadow of the E46. Initially available as a coupe only, with a convertible version added in 1994, a sedan version was also added later that same year to fill the void caused by the lack of a BMW M5 sedan. Late 1995 saw a facelift of the coupe and the introduction of a 3.2 -litre engine and six-speed manual gearbox, along with different wheels and clear indicator lenses. Not long ago you could snaffle one for midteens, now they are over thirty grand and counting.

1972 PLYMOUTH SATELLITE SEBRING NOW

$50-55,000

$16,450

Here we are again, staring at another insanely under-priced Mopar and wondering how. After scouring the bookshelves for a 2003 US pricing guide we can report the ‘homeland’ price back then for a Condition 3 Sebring V8 with the ‘440’ upgrade was US$8000-10,000. After currency adjustments, freight and associated costs and BEFORE doing the RHD conversion the likely landed cost of a car in this condition would be A$20-25K. So how you sell one for $16K plus change? Whoever bought this Satellite hopefully enjoyed their good fortune for some time before cashing out.

FORD FAIRLANE WAGON NOW

$20--25,000

$88500

Back in 1993 a brand new Toyota Tarago GLi cost $39,915, would seat eight and with 2.4 litres wouldn’t pull the skin off the proverbial rice pudding. Here for the insignificant sum of $8500 was a version of the Fairlane not officially sold in Australia but built in right-hand drive, also with eight seats plus a V8 that would fling the Fairlane and its crowd of occupants up almost any hill without a deep breath. Plus you got the roof-rack and set of Globe alloys. These were never a common car in Australia and hopefully this one has managed to survive.

$109,000

Official records show that Jaguar built 53 C Types but thanks to people who have made lots of highquality replicas, the world now plays host to many more. Workshops in Australia and New Zealand have contributed some outstanding cars, as have UK suppliers including Proteus. More than 40 years after building their first C Type they continue to supply cars, but now at prices of around A$350,000. Earlier versions like this one cost less. Australia once was home to several genuine C Types however any that appear at a display day or historic race event will most likely be replicas.

HOLDEN HX KINGSWOOD ANNIVERSARY NOW

$225-30,000

$9500

Just 500 HX Holdens like this one were built in 1976 to help commemorate 50 years since General Motors (Australia) was founded. Anniversary HXs were based on the 202 Kingswood, embellished with two-tone paint, Premier colour-keyed hubcaps, venetians and special badges. Brand new the Anniversary HX cost $6273, or around $200 more than a stock 3.3-litre KIngy. Assuming a Unique Cars r wasn’t being too ambitious earlier this year when pricing a similar car at $29,800, the buyer and subsequent owners of this one would have pocketed a very decent return on their $9500.

SEPTEMBER 1992

FIAT 131 SUPERMIRAFIORI NOW

$25--30,000

$99500

Four hundred Fiat 131s were built as Abarths to qualify for European rally events and survivors can today make $300,000. Not surprisingly the market for replicas is frenetic and very few of the basic 2-litre Supermirafiori remain in untouched condition. Even allowing for the 1990s recession which savaged local sales, this car at under $10,000 looks to be a massive bargain and quite likely was snapped up by an overseas buyer. A two-door Rallye replica did sell locally several years ago however even when scouring Europe last month we could find only one car in similar condition.

HOLDEN EK CUSTOM NOW

$225-28,000

$8000

This EK in 2003 was past its 40th birthday and proving you didn’t need a lot of money to have an old Holden that looked a bit different. Built most likely during the 1970s when the custom car craze swept Australia, someone had grabbed bits from a wrecking yard, cut the springs, widened the wheels, bought some rear spats from a catalogue and spent a bit on embellishing the paint. Back in 1970 the car might have been worth $1000, but then inflation and growing interest in EKs sent it on an 800 per cent climb. Growth since then has slowed but old Holdens continue to appreciate.

Ever stepped off a kerb in Asia and almost been sent to the Afterlife as something like this carved its own path between the traffic and you? Honda (and Suzuki and Daihatsu) thought at various points during their Australian existence that tiny, vulnerable vans and pickups might have a market here. Fortunately for occupant and pedestrian safety they didn’t and not many were sold. This would be one of few surviving T-500s and a good talking point if you are a Honda enthusiast. Still not expensive to buy or run and possibly saleable to Japanese collectors.

WEIRD COINCIDENCE

Re Dave’s world of mathematical dimensions (last issue’s Morley’s Workshop), a previous fellow employee did the round Australia thingo years ago but told us he went anti-clockwise because it was shorter – a bit of a hard case this bloke. Based on his total distance travelled and allowing for the radial variables of the two opposing directional lanes the saving amounted to approximately 27km.

I’m only a hack that races my van (it only runs low 12s at 115mph) and I have a very good helmet but I hadn’t considered the HANS option, even after my accident.As with the Kevlar helmet that saved my life, using the best and most appropriate PPE available is cheap insurance.

SERIAL VALIANT OWNER I had great pleasure reading your article on VF and VG Pacers. I’ve owned round 30+ Valiants. At one point I purchased three Blue VF Pacers for just $700. All were drivers, complete and in reasonable condition. They all had the usual worn gear lever linkage but only one had rust

in back right quarter. The car’s motor pictured in the article has after-market extractors . I owned the VG two-door Pacer white. The article failed to state that the firewall to rear of the body were imported from the USA including the interior. I recollect that they were Dodge Dart bodies. I replaced the cam with an E38 unit, changed the harmonic balancer and oil pump to a higher volume , modified the head, fitted extractors

wear problems as the Pacers. How long did it take Chrysler to fix anything ? I sold the lot virtually at one time, along with around 25 other Valiants from AP5 to CL including VH 770 Charger sixes and V8s. Ah, decisions you make! Gary Edney ED: What’s that line? Tis

Having seen a number of friends die in accidents in historic racing, I totally agree with that. Where it falls a bit short is the way it depicts the HANS devices. Whilst head restraint (usually HANS) is now mandatory for a lot of Australian motor sport, the HANS devices themselves

tend to provide a false sense of security. They are only truly effective in head-on collisions, and restrict head movement in open-wheel cars (unless the owner buys the considerably more expensive version with adjustable neck angle etc). A good friend of mine – a r specialising in motor sport safety – acknowledges these limitations. There are some excellent alternative head restraints that provide more protection, often for less money. One is the FIA approved Simpson Hybrid restraint.I use one in historic open-wheelers. Most of the deaths I have observed in open-wheel cars wouldn’t have been prevented by a HANS device, because these cars rarely hit solid things head on. Glenn seems almost apologetic in talking about this, but he’s absolutely right to raise it. The issue applies to all forms of motor sport. My purpose in writing this is to Glenn’s overall point and provide a bit more insight into options when it comes to head restraints. Brian Wilson ED: If you missed it, you

AUDI RS5 SPORTBACK FOR THOSE WANTING PACE AND SPACE WORDS  MARK HIGGINS  PHOTOS GUY ALLEN

AUDI’S FIRST-EVER RS 5 Sportback that arrived in February 2019 seamlessly combines coupe styling with four-seat, five-door Gran Turismo practicality in a lightweight chassis, featuring Quattro all-wheel drive and a ballistic V6 biturbo engine. Being an Audi RS model means it’s chock full of pace and in this case, space, and boasts the latest safety and driver-assist, connectivity and infotainment technology. The inspiration behind the RS5 Sportsback’s svelte form, flared guards, long wheelbase, short overhangs and broad stance came from Audi’s successful foray into the American IMSA sports prototype series with the 90 Quattro in the 1990s. There’s no mistaking the RS5 for the standard A5 Sportback. A single-frame grille in a honeycomb pattern with huge air intakes, a deep front spoiler emblazoned with Quattro lettering, an RS specific rear diff, huge oval exhausts and a subtle rear lip

spoiler make it stand out. The all-new 2.9 V6 biturbo engine produces a substantial 331 kW and 600 Nm, sling-shotting it from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and a limited top speed of 250km/h. Maximising power delivery and minimizing lag is achieved by plonking the two turbos between the cylinder banks to minimise inlet tract length. Drive to all four wheels is through an eight-speed tiptronic gearbox with power distributed 40/60 front to rear for maximum handling, while the differential cleverly transfers torque to the rear wheel with most grip for peak cornering acceleration. A five-link suspension setup is employed at both ends and the Dynamic Ride Control has the RS5 Sportback sitting much lower than the A5 Sportback. At the driver’s fingertips is the switch to control the adaptive dampers with a choice of individual, dynamic or comfort settings to extract the best from the car.

1957 FORD THUNDERBIRD ONE OF THE BEST BABY BIRDS ON OFFER IN OZ WORDS  PHOTOS GUY ALLEN

THIS MANY DECADES later, it’s easy to forget just how significant the first Thunderbird series – aka the Babybird – was in Ford’s history. It did, after all, launch the company into the sports two-seater market. And it was to last just a few years. The company’s thinking was pretty simple. While gigantic transports of delight were seen as the American way, this was a compact with a good-sized V8. That should be a recipe for happiness. 36

TradeUniqueCars.com.au

There were three yearly updates for these things – each of them fairly significant – over 1955-56-57. After this generation, the T-bird name transferred to giant four-seaters, still with two doors but totally different in character. In the USA, last-gen Babybirds are worth really big money, particularly if they’re one of the ultra-rare performance variants. This convertible belongs to a Melbourne enthusiast who has helped us

“LOOKING AFTER THESE THINGS IS SIMPLICITY ITSELF” out with numerous feature cars in the past. The colour combo is very fifties, although the green-on-green combination is unusual and the coding on the car suggests it may have been a special order from the factory. Given these things were hugely popular in Hollywood at the time, it’s not a big leap to imagine someone famous putting in the order. In any case, it’s very typical of the breed on the mechanical front, with the 245hp version of the 312ci (5.1lt) V8 matched to a three-speed

’87 ALFA ROMEO SPIDER 2.0 DELIVERY-MILE DROP-TOP ITALIAN WITH A ROYAL CONNECTION WORDS  PHOTOS ALEX AFFAT

HOW DO you define a classic? Designer-styling? Movie car? Notable past ownership? If that’s the case, the Pininfarina-bodied Alfa Romeo Spider checks all the boxes! The Spider was unveiled at the 1966 Turin Motor Show, and was enduring to say the least, remaining in production for a staggering 28 years with just one significant restyle. The restyle came early in 1969, and took the initially curvaceous tail into a more aerodynamic flat-slabbed rear end, also aiding boot space in the process. This facelift also saw engine displacement swell from 1.6 to 1.8 litres, yielding a power increase from 81kW to 93kW. 40

TradeUniqueCars.com.au

Then, after the Alfa Spider withdrew from Aussie showrooms in 1976, came the ironically named “aerodynamica” in 1983; featuring enlarged rubber

bumpers a rubber boot spoiler; and Bosch electronic fuel-injection. But of course, classic cars often hinge on more than their merits on paper.

This particular left-handdrive imported example, finished in Jet Black over a tan roof and interior – looks like it’s been locked away in a vault since new. That’s because it was. It was bought new and lived most of its life as part of the Brunei Royal Family’s personal car collection, according to Lorbek Luxury Cars of Melbourne. The stunning Spider boasts a time-warp odometer reading of just 1223km, and still wears its plastic over part of the interior. ‘Like-new’ has never been so apt, and you can truly describe it as a time-capsule car. And it’s yours for $89,990.

1970 MERCURY COUGAR

$36,000

THESE MUSCULAR Henrys never got the kudos they deserved, due to the popularity and hype of the Mustang, but the Cougar isn’t a bad thing to punt along at a decent rate. It’s a great alternative to the costlier Mustang and to me this Cougar ticks all the right boxes. It’s a genuine 60s muscle car with 351 up front, it comes with plenty of documentation according to the ad, the resto work was carried out here and with summer coming, a snarling ragtop would be just the thing for a Sunday outing.

$31,500

THIS HT Prem looks to be in good nick all round and would make a great cruiser or talking piece at a coffee and cars morning. Back in the day the drive-in theatres used to be full of these things, either packed with families watching the movies or teenagers performing the horizontal two-step. Beachside camp grounds on the Mornington Peninsula were another popular hangout for these wagons, doubling up as the transport to and from the grounds and a bed.

JIM CLARK, Graham Hill, Jackie Stewart, Allan Moffat, Jim McKeown, Bob Jane. They all raced the Mk1 Lotus Cortina, a car I have loved since first clamping eyes on one last century. This one, in authentic Team Lotus colours is the real deal apparently, not a replica and if that’s the case worth a good look. It has known history through historic racing circles, and it looks the part perched on its original Minilites. These are almost impossible to find and I wouldn’t be surprised if it went back to the UK where it originated.

ODDBALL LOOKS but a heap of grunt for its size. The ungainly looking Nissan EXA turbo helped launch the racing careers of a few young blokes including Glenn Seton. Ask yourself when was the last time you saw one? I can’t . The body seems reasonably tidy and has the stripe kit from the factory along with the correct wheels if my memory is correct. If you want a left field project car this could be it. You’ll never find one parked next to you at the Woolies carpark.

1986 HOLDEN VL BERLINA TURBO

OF THE MO

N

AS WELL AS a huge amount of grunt from the turbine-like Nissan engine, there’s something special about VL Turbos in general. There must be when you look at their skyrocketing prices. It’s pretty clear that the VL turbo has become super collectable and can probably lay claim to be the most sought after 80s Commo. This is said to be untouched and it looks so with the original engine bay, 15” steel wheels hidden behind the plastic and even original red pinstriping. Being a Berlina, it has a few more comforts than the SL. Given the hype it seems like good buying.

1969 MG C

$46,000

I MUST declare I prefer stock cars to modded ones, unless the said mods have been done at the factory. Call me fussy. I am pretty sure that when this MG C rolled off the production line it didn’t have a 350 Chev engine in its snout or a T10 gearbox or a Jaguar XJ6 LSD. And I would bet it never had anything like 300 hp at the wheels. There’s no doubt the driveline package in this light body would be an attention getter when you stomp on the loud pedal. I reckon it would be a fun track day car and guarantee to frighten the daylights out of most at the traffic light grand prix.

1957 HOLDEN FE

$42,000

BUILT BETWEEN 1956 and 1958 the FE Holden was built on a longer wheelbase than the FJ series it replaced. And it looked totally different. I just about every young bloke that owned one stuck fat steelies and a loud exhaust on them and if they could stretch their pounds (too early for dollars), twin carbs. This one has undergone a restoration inside and out, right down to a new boot mat, floor mats and kick plates. All the hard yards appear to have been done for the next owner, so it looks like a turnkey Aussie classic ready to be enjoyed.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

FORD FALCON PHASE 1 GT-HO THE RACE GAME HAD BECOME VERY SERIOUS WHEN FORD ADDED ‘HO’ TO ITS GT LABEL - AND IT WAS WAY MORE THAN A ‘HANDLING OPTION’

A

winding public road draped over a mountain in western NSW is responsible for the legend that is the Falcon GT-HO. The GT-HO was a thinly disguised, road-able, racing touring-car, created to do one thing. Win Bathurst. After winning at Mt Panorama in 1967 with the Falcon XR GT and copping a hiding from the Holden Monaro GTS 327 the following year, it was one apiece for the General and Henry’s boys as the teams headed to Bathurst for the 1969 decider. Back then winning Bathurst, in what resembled production cars, was a huge boost for moving large quantities of metal off showroom floors. ‘Win on Sunday and sell on Monday’ was why all the marques were so keen on racing. History shows that, despite having the numbers – 14 GT-HOs to seven Monaros – things didn’t go to plan at Mt Panorama. On lap one Bill Brown rolled his GT-HO at the top of the mountain causing a 15-car pileup. Then the Ford factory team, including Allan Moffat making his Bathurst debut, was running special Goodyear tyres that started shredding at an alarming rate after very few laps, necessitating many more pitstops than its rival, the Holden Monaro GTS350. The Monaro went on to win with Colin Bond and Tony Roberts at the wheel. The GT-HO did finish second, in the hands of the 1968 winners Bruce Mhee and Barry Mulholland in a privateer entry. Third place went to another Monaro and Bathurst debutant, Peter Brock. 48

TradeUniqueCars.com.au

With the launch of the XW in 1969, the Falcon GT received a massive performance boost thanks to its 351ci Windsor V8, a twin-plate clutch, limited-slip diff, power-assisted front disc brakes, anti-roll bars, a 36-gallon fuel tank plus a full complement of instruments. It was big, bold and brash with 300hp under the bonnet thanks to a massive Holley carburettor, re-profiled camshaft, better breathing intake manifold and altered valves and lifters. When launched it was the quickest Aussie muscle car with 0-100km/h in 6.5 seconds and the standing quarter mile in 14.4 seconds. As best as we can ascertain just 662 Falcon GT-HOs (Phases 1 and II) were built, a fraction of total XW production. Despite its Bathurst failure 50 years ago the Phase 1 GT-HO has become one of the most sought after, expensive and iconic cars made in this country. Happy 50th anniversary.

50 IS THIS THE MOST ELEGANT COUPE EVER TO COME OUT OF JAPAN? WE RECKON IT IS, AND IT’S JUST TURNED 50. WORDS CLIFF CHAMBERS GUY ALLEN PHOTOS MARK BEAN

T

urn your mind back to the 1960s and imagine being handed the task of deg a sports car to outshine Jaguar’s evocative E-Type. At the time, the Jag was the standard against which rival sports models were being judged and the cream of Europe’s car makers seemed less than eager to take up the challenge. Not so Nissan which, with a little help from one of Europe’s best-known stylists, developed a shape that echoed the E-Type concept with a design that made it affordable, rugged and practical. The 240Z originated in 1964 as an open-top concept car conceived by German design guru Albrecht Goertz. It was shelved until 1966 when Nissan’s own design studio revived the project – renamed S30 – as a long-nosed coupe with two seats, independent suspension and access to its luggage space via an E-Type-style hatch.

50 YEARS OF Z

“CONTAINING COSTS MEANT SHARING MECHANICAL COMPONENTS WITH EXISTING MODELS” Containing costs meant sticking with drum brakes at the back rather than discs and sharing mechanical components with existing models. An enlarged version of the L20 six-cylinder (as used in the Prince GT) was a logical choice for the Z which with its enlarged bore and stroke plus twin SU-style carburettors would produce 151bhp (113kW). Also standard was an aluminium cylinder head and single overhead camshaft. Tuning for competition involved various ploys including boosting capacity to 2.8 litres, wilder camshafts, extractors feeding ‘drain-pipe’ exhausts and triple carburettors of the Weber variety. North America was correctly seen as the Z’s biggest market and it was rushed into US showrooms during 1969. In deference to the 68

work done by Nissan’s open-top Fairlady in establishing the Datsun brand, that name was retained by US versions of the new coupe. In Australia, where it would always be known as the 240Z, we saw our first cars late in 1970. Local Zs initially came only as a five-speed manual, followed in mid-1971 by a smattering of three-speed automatics. A $4500 introductory price ensured the new Datsun cost less than a GTV Alfa Romeo or Triumph TR6, however it was still considerably more expensive than an XU-1 Torana or Chrysler’s new E38 Charger. In the USA where the Z took on Porsches and TR6 Triumphs to win its category in Sports Car Club of America events, sales during 1971-73 averaged 43,000 cars annually. In our much smaller market with minimal on-track

240Z DATSUN BUYING

ANYONE WHO bought a Z in the late 1990s and held on will by now be looking at a 400-600 per cent return on their very modest investment. Outstanding Zs being sold 20 years ago would rarely better $10,000. Even those built to high standards for competition use didn’t make a lot more. Then the international market began to move and values climbed in unison with worldwide demand. Of the 240Zs sold new in Australia, probably 80 per cent are gone. However, some of the spare slots are being filled by Fairlady Z imports from Japan or the USA. Prices for excellent local cars have reached over $60,000, with the 260Z in two and fourseat form lagging 3050 per cent behind. Worn, rusty and incomplete cars being discovered today are far more likely to survive and be restored than might have been the case 20 years ago. Rebuilding one from a shell will help ensure corners aren’t cut, however the cost can easily run to three times the price of an outstanding car with all work already done and documented.

exposure, the 2.4-litre Z still managed to attract around 2400 buyers during the same period. Rallying was a different case and definitely the Z’s forte. During the early 1970s it won the tough East African Safari on two occasions and took out a string of European events. In Australia, Ross Dunkerton used Zs to win the national Rally Championship three times between 1974 and 1976. A 2.6-litre version of the Z was launched locally in mid-1974, with a minor power increase and optional 2+2 seating. Improvements included lower gearing to improve acceleration, wider, better-quality tyres and revamped seats. Ventilation

“ITS PURITY AND GENUINE SPORTS CAR ATTRIBUTES HAVE SEEN VALUES SURGE IN RECENT YEARS” had been upgraded in 1973, but Zs still suffered a hot cabin on summer’s days and air-conditioning was a welcome 260Z option. Longer, wider and more powerful 280 and 300ZX models would follow, including some with monstrous twin-turbo V6 engines. However it is the 240Z’s purity and genuine sports car attributes that have seen demand and its values surge during recent years.

SILVER 240Z Brad Twyning – 1973 model: “I started buying them (Zeds) in 1984, and had a bit of a ion for them. I started playing around with the first car. It had a 350 Chev V8 in it, Turbo 400 transmission and nine-inch rear end and it won a national street machine title. I was showing that car for many years and it was in many magazines. In 1989 I was moving on, buying a house, family commitments, that sort of thing, and sold the car. About four years ago I decided to buy another Zed and do it up. I bought a 260Z coupe and did that one up.

After ing the club he became even more involved and decided he really wanted a 240. He started looking about 18 months ago and found this one in the back of a wood-cutter factory. “It was a bit of a mess, with the usual rust that 240 Zeds have. The interior was still original, including the radio. I was the second owner and did a restoration. “I’ve brought it back as close to original as I can. It has matching numbers, and period wheels rather than the originals. It also has a clip-on spoiler.” It won top 240 at the 50-year show in Sydney recently, along with a clutch of other trophies. As for his first modified car, these days it would be worth a whole lot more in original trim. “I probably wouldn’t have done what I did years ago if I could have predicted the future – but who can do that?”

GREEN 240Z John Wakeling – 1970 model: “This is number 259 of just 319 sold in Australia that year. It’s quite bizarre, I think there were

“WE PICKED UP THE KEYS FROM THE LOCAL SERVICE STATION WHERE THEY’D BEEN FOR FIVE YEARS” only around 2500 240Zs sold in Australia in three years. Most of them were sold in the USA. “I’ve always been interested in motorbikes, cars, all of that, and have a long history with Austin Healey. I had company cars for a long time and the first car I ever bought was an Austin Healey 3000. “My story with Zeds goes back to 2008. We drove through Forbes and I saw this 240Z – I’d been looking for one for a while – just sitting in a storage yard. The owner said, ‘Lots of people have asked me about the car, you’re number 2500, what would you do with it?’ “I told her I wanted to restore it and she asked how much I’d offer. I told her and she promised to call back one day. About six weeks later she rang.

“She wanted cash – there was no way the money was to be put in a bank – and we picked up the keys from a local service station, where they’d been hanging on a hook for five years. “It sort of went on from there and now I have five Zeds – they breed! “The green car was bought as a ready-to-go proposition that we could just jump in and go to club events. All I’ve had to do is put tyres on it.” This and another Zed in his fleet were bought through the club, which John sees as a major benefit of being in the group – you hear about good cars that never hit the open market. He’s right. You can find them at Zcarclub.com.au

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION Six-cylinder Nissan engines are simple and durable. Listen for valve train rattle (not too serious) or low-frequency bearing rumbles which indicate an impending rebuild. Some engines will have been modified and developing significantly more power than standard. Triple-carburettor cars can present tuning issues and those with turbochargers will need specific maintenance and uprated cooling. Underbonnet accessories can mostly be replaced or repaired, however items like the genuine Hitachi carburettors and the electronic ignition are difficult to locate. Exchange, warranted five-speed gearboxes are available for under $1000.

BODY & CHASSIS Cars that were ‘restored’ some time ago when values didn’t justify comprehensive rust removal can be harbouring a range of nasties. If the doors droop and are hard to close the problem might be worn hinge pins. It could also be that the mounting points have weakened due to rust. Feel inside the wheelarches and window surrounds for bubbling, look above and below floor-pans for rust and be wary of a hatch that is difficult to close or is letting in water and exhaust fumes. Door skins and rust repair sections are available but rusted door apertures, firewall, floor-pans and the turret must be remade at significant expense. Body rubber kits for two-door cars cost around $1000. Reproduction bumpers are available at around $500 each, but inspect before buying to ensure acceptable quality.

1969 FIRST GENERATION:

DATSUN S30 240Z, 260, 280Z – 1969-1978 THE Z-CAR legacy started here with the standout 240Z. It was widely lauded at its release, particularly for its gorgeous looks courtesy of Albrecht Goertz (of BMW fame), and further fettled by Yohihiko Matsuo. It was

also one of the few genuine 125mph cars on sale in 1969, and was largely your only choice if you couldn’t fork out for one of the ‘Big Three’ brutes, or a far more expensive Italian supercar. The real kicker was the price: Just $4567 – believed by many to be the best value for a sweet-looking sports car that could out-accelerate the much dearer Triumph TR6s and Alfa Romeo 1600s as well as the Ford Capri V6s. Today they remain a series of Japan’s all-time classics, with original low-mileage examples overseas regularly fetching unheard of prices over the past 12 months. The record sale was set this past June, when a restored 1970 example fetched AU$180,000 at auction in the US. By 1972 the 240Z had become the world’s fastest selling sports coupe, thanks to tightening emissions regulations in the US that saw rival sports car makers slump in sales – or pull out of the market altogether. The US was the updated 260Z’s main target. The engine was bored out to 2565cc and Datsun introduced a 2+2 variant with a wheelbase stretched by 302mm, and an elongated notched roofline. The last iteration of the Z-car’s first generation was the 280Z, released in the US-only from 1975. While much of the sheetmetal carried over, it was powered by a larger 2.8lt inline-six that featured fuel-injection. Australia carried on offering the 260Z until 1978, though a few left-hand drive examples of the 280Z have been imported over time.

SECOND GENERATION:

DATSUN S130 280ZX – 1978-1983

1978

THE SECOND-generation Z-car, the 280ZX, marked the slow move away from an outright sports car to a more GT-like cruiser. Only the 2+2 configuration was sold in Australia and almost every export market except for the USA and Canada; the option of ‘+2’ rear-seating outsold the purists’ two-seater by great numbers. Despite the car’s comfortable road manners, the single-cam 2.8lt inline-six was deemed a strong and smooth unit – able to spin the speedo up past 190km/h. Aussie road testers also celebrated its outstanding fuel economy, aided by its aerodynamic (if not exactly pretty) body. With the 80-litre fuel tank this made for a great cruising range for Australian conditions. With the perfect hindsight of history, the 280ZX remains a capable classic cruiser. At the time, enthusiasts lamented the fact that it placed more importance on luxury and comfort, further moving away from its sporting roots – but in turn, the 280ZX enjoyed unprecedented global success.

THIRD GENERATION:

NISSAN Z31 300ZX – 1983-1989

1983

THE Z31 300ZX marked the Z’s transition from Datsun to Nissan. Again, Nissan Australia only offered one body option: the 2+2 T-top. This generation continued and reinforced the Z-cars’ luxury-oriented cruising characteristic, and borrowed heavily from the preceding 280ZX with new suspension and a wider stance. Until 1985 Nissan Australia only offered the naturally aspirated 3lt V6 yielding a modest 124kW, before introducing a 155kW turbocharged variant, sans adjustable shocks that were featured in overseas markets, from 1986 to 1988. Just one trim level was available in Australia, with the only options being climate control and a very-80s digital instrument-cluster. Australia uniquely offered the ‘Californian’ special edition, a run of 200 units marking the last of the Z31s sold in Australia. TradeUniqueCars.com.au

FOURTH GENERATION: NISSAN Z32 300ZX – 1989-1996 1989 COMMENCED a golden era for Nissan with the debut of the game-changing Skyline R32 GT-R. The same year also saw the new Z32 300ZX released, complementing the Yokohama brand’s multi-pronged attack on the global sports car market. Indeed, while preceding Z-car generations had lost much of their sporting focus with a shift towards more ‘civilised’ boulevard cruisers, the Z32 marked a welcome and surprise return to sporty two-seater motoring. A new 165kW DOHC 3lt V6 now took pride of place under the bonnet, backed up by all-new multilink suspension, rack-and-pinion steering, a viscous differential and anti-lock brakes. Nissan touted it as a genuine Porsche-beater, and on the power-to-weight front, it even outgunned Toyota’s powerful Supra Turbo of the time. When you couple its tremendously aerodynamic body with its well-equipped and ergonomic cabin, the Z32 marked a welcome return to form for the Z-car lineage.

FIFTH GENERATION: NISSAN Z33 350Z – 2002-2009 FOLLOWING THE Z32’s time in the sun, the Z-car nameplate underwent a six-year hiatus, while Nissan in the US attempted to keep the buzz alive by selling ‘new, old’ restored 240Zs. By the early 2000s, Nissan was a lot more cash-strapped than it was when the last 300ZX arrived. Nissan revealed a ‘240Z concept’ in 1999, but it was ultimately deemed “too backward” and “too retro” for a company in desperate need of commercial recovery. The 350Z arrived midway through 2002, with a modern interpretation of the Z’s traditional long bonnet and short deck silhouette, and was announced by then-president Carlos Ghosn as a car that would assist the company’s recovery into the future. It was a handsome coupe that handled well while its new 3.5lt V6 propelled the car to 100km/h in under six seconds. Like many Zs before it, the 350Z found favour with numerous aftermarket tuning companies and modifiers around the globe.

SIXTH GENERATION: NISSAN Z34 370Z – 2009-CURRENT

AT FIRST-GLANCE, the 370Z looks a lot like the preceding 350Z. Look closer and you’ll notice that the car is actually shorter, wider and lower with virtually every and component redesigned. More extensive use of aluminium in its s, subframe and engine cradle meant the new Zed was both lighter (110kgs) and stiffer than its predecessor. As per the historical nomenclature, the 370Z was powered by a 3.7lt V6 taking the Z33’s well-balanced platform and continuing its evolution. Still on the market 11 years after its initial release, it’s by far the most enduring iteration of the fabled Z-car. It played host to various special editions, race-ready ‘Nismo’ editions, and most recently the 50th anniversary edition. Rumours of a successor have been circulating for years now, but there is still no replacement on the horizon. Where will the Z go next? We’re waiting patiently to find out.

THE NEW MORGAN ROADSTER 3.7

The new Morgan Roadster with its powerful 3.7 litre V6 engine represents the latest development of the Classic Morgan theme. Under the timeless design of the all aluminium body, a sophisticated new 5-link rear suspension provides a higher standard of ride comfort and handling finesse. Working in concert with the adjustable dampers all round and accurate power steering assist, this latest evolution of the Classic Morgan is certainly the most refined ever. As always, each car is hand built in rural England to bespoke customer order. For more personalized information about this unique sports car, please us directly at Morgan Cars Australia.

ars aren’t just cars, are they? If you’re reading our humble publication, we’re confident you’ll agree. More than simple modes of transport, these hulks of steel, glass and rubber are vehicles in more ways than one; they’re vehicles for memories, a way to connect with people and friends, and – for the best of us – a way to give back to the community. The Torana Owner’s Club knows this, and giving back to the community – namely the historic 130-year-old Queenscliff childrens’ charity, Cottage by the Sea – is at the heart of everything it does. The club is a recently-formed collective of good-hearted mates and even before the club’s inception, many of the have been ing the charity – dedicated to ing underprivileged children – for the past three years.

The club holds various fundraisers throughout the year – from casual car shows and raffles, to a club display at Cottage by the Sea’s annual fair in January. And every year on the club’s annual road trip down the Great Ocean Road, they stop by the historic homestead to drop off their funds raised

over the year past. But it’s not enough to just tell me over the phone, so one fine morning I was picked up by a fleet of skittle-coloured V8-powered Torries, and the guys took me down to see the Cottage, and the people behind it, in person. We drove along the picturescue

ANNUAL FAIR COTTAGE BY the Sea’s annual fair is the cause’s biggest fundraising event of the year, held every January at the homestead, just as it has for over 100 years. “We’re nongovernment funded, so we require about $2 million every year to operate. We get donated goods as well – toiletries, toilet paper, bedding, clothing, food. Anything anyone needs at home, we need 1300 times. We’re lucky to have such great community , the Torana Club are a big er of us each year, and the kids love seeing them and the cars.” The fair also attracts various food stalls, community vendors, and sells over $20,000 worth of fresh produce each year. The fair began as a garden party, but has since blossomed into an attraction that sees upwards of 2500 people through the homestead’s gates each January. This January, you’ll also be treated to a fleet of hot Toranas on display courtesy of the TOC. The fair will take place January 11, 2020 from 9am. We encourage you all to come down.

Yet I’m looking up and seeing thousands of stone chips on the curvaceous lower s of a very special Jaguar, hoisted high during a spanner-check at the premises where it was created, Concours Sportscar Restoration (CSR) at Tuggerah on NSW’s sunny Central Coast.

“FOR A HARD-CORE JAG ENTHUSIAST, A LOW DRAG E-TYPE IS ABOUT AS SEXY AS THINGS GET”

but now the sills resemble the knees of a kid who has stacked his billy-cart! But that doesn’t worry the owner of this beautiful recreation of Jaguar’s 1960s Lightweight Low Drag Coupe, Phil Smart. Many of the chips arrived during hot laps of NSW’s Wakefield Park and Qld’s Lakeside circuits soon after the car was built; others are from Phil winding the odometer forward another couple of thousand kays driving his very special car on sunny Sundays and to his work as a company director in Brisbane. “It’s an incurable disease!” chuckles Phil of his enthusiasm for Jaguars… surely one of the more challenging of car marques/brands to own. “My first car was a Jag; a one-owner MkV that I paid $500 for in 1972. It was a 20-year-old car and I was 18.” 92

TradeUniqueCars.com.au

Phil is the foundation president of the Jaguar Drivers’ Club of South Australia and has owned several other Jaguars – and several other brands of cars – since his P-plate days. “I went from that MkV to a XK140 fixed-head and then an E-Type. Then I got out of cars for a while – I had business and family commitments – but had some more modern stuff… “But one day I decided I wanted to get something special – the type of car where you open the garage door and it makes you catch your breath; something that’s ‘whooaa, look at that!’ “And that’s what this car is.” For a hard-core Jag enthusiast, a low-drag E-Type is about as sexy as things get. The Low-Drag was one of Jag’s factory-built track specials in the 1960s and this is a

keen recreation but with a few additions and enhancements.

BEHIND THE SCENES

“We started with an E-Type,” explains Gavin King of Concours Sportscar Restorations. But of that original E-Type Fixed Head Coupe precious little remains, such is the extent of the work performed to create this special car. The Low Drag replica has been built using a truly international plethora of original and recreation components including, surprisingly, quite a bit of Aussie technology in addition to the exquisite local craftsmanship. The build took six years. The body is all-aluminium. Jaguar’s Low Drag Coupes had different shapes to the standard E-Type, thanks to the work of Jaguar in testing the E-Type in a wind tunnel and shaping the body to reduce aerodynamic drag and increase the car’s speed. The shape of the air intake in the flip-forward bonnet is the biggest visual difference and clue – it’s higher and more oval than the regular E-type and is flanked by two inset driving lights. Other details include a more bulbous turret and the doors’ window frames are laid into the car. This recreation follows the form of the factory competition cars perfectly. It’s far more than a reskin, too, with the inner rear

“IT’S A ROAD-CAPABLE TRIBUTE TO THE LIGHTWEIGHT JAGUAR RACERS OF THE EARLY 1960S” quarter s and wheelhouses, plus all the floors being aluminium, as were Jaguar’s Lightweight race specials back in the 1960s. The factory-type DOHC straight six engine in Phil’s car is a special, being built by CSR using a gratifying mix of Aussie and imported parts. It’s a 4.2-litre cast iron block with a wide angle Crosthwaite and Gardiner (from the UK) alloy head that allows enormous valves and terrific breathing over a stout 11:1 compression ratio. It’s injected using international-grade Aussie tech: a Haltech brain and Injection Perfection throttle bodies that resemble the original-style Weber carburettors. Dry sump lubrication is all period Jaguar and no less than four different header and exhaust combinations were made in-house for dyno testing. During its dyno run-in, the long-rod, forged-piston engine spat out 409hp but tweaking of the tune fattened up the torque and road drivability for a 391hp result (at 6000rpm).

96

TradeUniqueCars.com.au

“It’s a spectacular motor,” agrees a proud Phil. “It’s fuel-injected and has a few other bits and pieces on it. It runs beautifully – with electronic control it starts and behaves like a modern car.” Behind the big six is an E-Type Fabs (UK) bespoke five-speed gearbox. It cleverly uses Borg-Warner T5 (1990s Commodore/ Falcon-type) internals in a Jag-type alloy case, so it appears and bolts-in as per standard but benefits from those tougher internals. Behind that is a Quaife Torsen-type torque-biasing differential in between the upgraded vented inboard disc brakes, and independent rear suspension uprights. The suspension’s trailing arms have been upgraded with polyurethane bushes and ride on GAZ adjustable coil-overs. Behind those 15-inch replica magnesium peg-drive wheels, the Jag torsion bar front suspension has also been significantly upgraded. Of course, there are higher rate (fatter) torsion bars and adjustable sway

bars. There is adjustable camber and caster to tune-in the angle of attack of the wheels and tyres on the chrome-moly front stub axles. The steering column is Jag, of course rebuilt, and twirling a solid-mounted quick-ratio steering rack. The front disc brakes (and the rears, too) feature beautiful billet calipers and vented discs. It’s a shame most of it is hidden… It’s all world-class craftsmanship either made in-house at CSR or sourced from fellow Aussie Jag component specialists V&A Spiteri in Melbourne. Another Aussie supplier, Vintage Wiring, provided the wiring harness. With the Jaguars’ popularity around the planet, CSR’s Gavin King has a whole world of suppliers to choose from. “Wherever possible at all, I use Aussie,” he says proudly. The cabin is another world of discovery. The pedals have been converted from conventional pendulum (top hung) to use a pedal box – also a world-class Aussie component developed in-house at CSR. Turning the pedal actuation upside down from standard not only resulted in a higherperformance system, but freed space in the engine bay for the rear-most throttle body on that fat big six. The instruments are retro-style Smiths but behind the faces they’re electronic.

CSR built the seats from alloy to retain the ’60s style but incorporate head rests. Phil and a lucky enger are held in with retractable harnesses. Yes, you read that right. Living in Queensland, Phil wanted air-conditioning so Gavin and his crew came up with a system “with parts sourced from all over the place!”, with the main components installed in the boot piping the cool air forward as there isn’t much space in the engine bay or under the dash. “I wanted it as a nice, fast road car,” Phil continues of the gorgeous CSR recreation. “I knew it was a bit precious – and what it was costing me! – so I would be too scared to race it. And you get a lot more use from it as a road car. I can take it out and give it a good thrashing, then drive it home with the air-conditioning on. It’s no good having trailer queens! “I drive it once a week. It’s a great thing to take to Coffee & Cars type events… I also drive it to work sometimes. I’ve also run it at a hill-climb: the Ringwood circuit near Newcastle. I ran it up a runway for a speed event, too… there was lots of gravel there,” he recalls. But even though he’s all for driving his Jag, Phil reckons he might have to get those stone chips fixed. “I didn’t think it would be that bad!” he says with a laugh.

“THERE IS A WHOLE WORLD OF SUPPLIERS TO CHOOSE FROM BUT WHEREVER POSSIBLE THE COMPONENTS ARE AUSSIE”

N

ow 45 years old, Holden’s SL/R 5000 L34 – like many cars released in 1974 – could by now have slipped into obscurity as just another old banger valued by a few shed-dwelling enthusiasts. However that’s far from the case. If anything, it has become more prized than ever and deservedly so. While Ford GT-HOs have been the darlings of the auction world for decades, the L34 kind of languished and a smart buyer could have picked one up as recently as 15 years ago for around a tenth of what they are now worth. Then, finally, collectors like the owner of this gem twigged that these cars were hopelessly undervalued and represented great buying. Today, a example will be worth somewhere north of $200k. When you look at it logically, it has most of the markers of a collectible TradeUniqueCars.com.au

BELOW Believe it or not, a couple of decades ago you could have bought one of these for a song.

“THIS WAS HOLDEN'S POST-SUPERCAR-SCARE HOMOLOGATION SPECIAL” car: locally-built, with a great race history, and produced in very limited numbers. Substantially less than 300 were made, with 268 being one of the most widely-publicised figures. So what made them special? Back in 1974, this was Holden’s post-supercar-scare homologation special. With the idea of a compact V8 Torana canned, this new mid-sized platform was to be the hero car, based on the firm’s well-proven 308, with an M21 four-speed transmission and the ageing banjo diff. The latter was a weak point. However, that 308 was anything but a stocker. It was effectively a Repco-developed special, using much of the thinking from the then current Formula 5000 open-wheelers. It featured a strengthened block, a specific non-production crankshaft, upgraded rods and pistons, along with a special cam, roller rockers, unique heads and a host of other features. It was running twin point and twin coil ignition. If you upgraded to the high-output option, you scored several more goodies, including upgraded camshaft and rockers, plus a Holley 780 carburettor. Mindful of any more backfires from a then antiperformance car environment, Holden claimed a modest 240 horses for the L34, though a well set-up one would probably hit more like 350. For the legendary Peter Brock, this model was a pivotal one for his career. In 1974 he was leading the annual Bathurst enduro by an incredible six laps when his car went to lunch. Interviewed many 102

years later, he reckoned the trouble started when he was ordered to slow down and one bank of cylinders ended up running lean. He parted with the Harry Firth-run Holden team at the end of the year, and incredibly won Bathurst by two laps the next in a privateer L34, partnered by Brian Sampson. Despite the 1974 disappointment on the mountain, the L34 was successful that year with Colin Bond winning three rounds of the five-round Manufactuers Championship, sealing the title for

the General, beating the more fancied rivals such as Alan Moffat in his XB GT Falcon. The example you’re looking at here belongs to John Tyack and we last featured the car over four years ago when he’d just finished a decade-long restoration. Like most people, he had a life outside cars, which inevitably delayed the project, but there is no question the drop-dead gorgeous Barbados Green monster was well worth the effort. Given he got it as a collection of bits in boxes, it’s an incredible result. One modification he’s made since we last saw it had us intrigued. Rather than having the ignition coils sitting underneath either side of the air filter housing, he has them stacked to one side. It’s a mod recommended to him by a Torana racer.

He’s running the motor in near-enough to high-output spec (minus the oil cooler) and he reckons it’s pulling the full 350 horses promised back in the day. So what’s it like to drive. “You hop in around town and start to think it’s not that good – it’s an old car. But you go on a trip and it feels great… it’s a great cruising car.” Like a lot of owners, John has mixed feelings about how the values of these cars have soared over the years. “It’s probably good if you own one, but it’s gone a bit over the top.” Clearly it was a good decision, all those years ago, to rescue this one.

DO IT ONCE DO IT RIGHT

S

o, I’m driving the old RS2000 Escort the other day. Having a lovely time I was, too, after a run of outs that started with a radiator dropping its guts and ended with jumped teeth on the camshaft belt (my own stupid fault). But this particular morning, I was enjoying the car as nature intended, and, as I approached the MBC with about 50 kliks under its wheels, the RS was humming. Beauty, I thought, I’ve finally made a trip without a melt-down of some sort. The little bugger is finally sorted. What is it they say about pride…? Within seconds of uttering my silent victory speech, the needle on the oil pressure gauge flickered and headed for the basement. What the! The oil pressure never dropped completely away, but it was sure as hell lower than it should have been; that much I knew for sure. Next morning it’s out with the spanners and tear into the thing to find out where the oil went. The Exxon Valdez epicentre seemed to be around the T-piece that exits the block and mounts the capillary tube and the sender for the twin oil pressure gauges I run. So I removed that and started to have a feel about down there. Funny, I thought to myself, that thread has a sharp edge on it. No it didn’t. But the two-dollar-coin sized hole in the block sure did. Still dunno what really happened, but when we pulled the motor down, the rear cam-retaining bolt was AWOL. Maybe it found its way down an oil gallery and managed to get jammed between the crank counterweight and the block (‘cos that’s where the hole got punched). Academic, really, so what to do? Mates reckoned I could get the hole patched and

108

TradeUniqueCars.com.au

be done with it on the cheap, but since I’d always had my doubts about the motor (like, what’s even in it?) I bit the bullet and bought a second-hand long-motor. From there, my small-Ford genius mate Tim took over, pulled it all down, sent the block to a machine shop for the crank to be tested (it was fine) and the block bored 020 thou for new slugs. Then the rotating assembly was balanced and new everything from welch plugs to water pump was fitted. Finally, Tim bolted the recently reconditioned head back on, dialled in the cam, bolted it back in the car and hit the key. And it’s a ripper. Despite not being any more tuned than before, the new donk is definitely smoother (that’s balancing for you) and seems to be more awake than ever before. And with about 600km on it so far, it’s getting better with every new kilometre. But more than that, I now have a brand-new engine in my otherwise mint RS2000, so it’s like the final piece of the puzzle has been put in place. On GT’s advice, I’ve reverted to the standard cooling fan and shroud (which has made a difference) and the only thing I’m chasing now is a rattling baffle in the (only) muffler on board. If I can be bothered. I’ll it that at first, when I got the estimate, I was a bit spooked by all the zeroes, but in the end I’m glad I went all-new rather than a patch-up. I don’t want to be lying awake at night, looking at the ceiling, wondering what’s going to go bang next. Which is kind of where I was with the original bitsa motor. I suppose I’m lucky it’s just a four-cylinder, single-cam engine and not something fancy like a quad-cam V8 or a Cosworth. Either way, I reckon the old do-it-once-do-it-right thing applies here.

Where are all the courses? One of the things most restorers don’t have is the ability to perform some of the most difficult (and expensive) tasks associated with getting a ‘roughie’ back on the road. You know the drill – you buy a nice little resto for $2k, spend $3k on it getting the paint and sorted, you do the rest yourself, and it ends up being worth $3k. Maybe less. Yeah, I know the resto thing is all about getting your hands dirty and being proud of what you’ve achieved, and to hell with the cost – within reason! Take my Renault 10s (yeah, I have two – and a nice 16TS as well). The 10s (like a lot of the older Renaults) have a tendency to seize up the brakes if not regularly used. For a reasonably talented

tinkerer, that’s no problem. I’ve had the master cylinder rebuilt by Power Brakes, and it’s now better than new with a stainless-steel sleeve in the bore. I’ve taken all four brake calipers off (and popped the wheels back on for easy movement around the workshop) and purchased all the rubbers and O-rings needed to rebuild all of them (yes, Renault 10s have fourwheel-disc brakes!). Now comes the problem – well, two actually, and I suspect a lot of restorers have the same problem. The car has had a hit up the rear and needs a renovated rear end. A fellow Renaultphile (Thanks Rob) has given me a used rear . With no beating skills, the best quote I’ve got to get it on the car (with undercoat) so far is $1400. Not a lot, but saving up is required.

Next comes the interior – as you would expect, the seats are destroyed. The best quote I’ve got so far (for vinyl upholstery) is around $2k. Obviously, more saving up to do. Upholstery and / paint are the two major expenses for the average restorer, I reckon. Years ago TAFE used to run all sorts of ‘hobby’ courses in the automotive area, but I’m finding it almost impossible to hunt down any courses in these disciplines. I saw a great auto-paint course in Sydney a while ago and I seriously considered that, but the travel/ accommodation costs killed that idea (I live near BrisVegas). So I’m putting the word out to someone out there who knows all about what courses are available – maybe UC can get someone from each State to provide all their local info to one of

RAT OR TAT Where do you stand on the rat-look thing? I kind of dig it in the right context. A mate of mine has just stripped all (and I mean ALL) the paint off his old Ford Anglia and reckons he’s going to clear-coat what’s left in a satin finish. It should look amazing, mainly because there’s virtually no damage to the metal. But is that a true rat in the first place? And what about those hot-rods with rusty bits and pieces hanging off them like they’ve been painted in Tarzan’s Grip and driven through a scrapyard? It’s one way to save money on body and paint, I suppose. What’s the view out there in UC Land? Is it rat or tat?

CHEV BRIQUETTES We’ve all seen late-model Holdens bearing Chev bowtie badges, right? Okay, so it’s in recognition of the Chev LS1 under the lid, but where did the bowtie logo come from. For many years, it was thought that Chevrolet co-founder Billy Durant had spotted the design on the wallpaper of a French hotel, but other theorists reckon he saw the bowtie design in either a magazine or newspaper just a few days after the company was born. If that’s the case, the bowtie logo was originally used to sell briquettes under the Coalettes brand name.

Dave Tonks Woolooman,QLD 

THAT’S ACTUALLY a terrific suggestion, Dave. Anybody from a TAFE or tech college (do they even still exist?) out there with any information to kick this off? For a while there, I was attending my local TAFE one night a week to learn everything from how auto trannys work to MIG welding and even basic blacksmithing. And every course I did was truly beaut. The teachers were often ex-tradies who hung up the tools and started teaching as a second

career, or really skilled tradies who were earning a few extra bucks after hours teaching the courses. The nice part was that you didn’t need to be an apprentice to enroll, and stuff like the basic welding course I did was probably 70 per cent us old blokes and the rest younger fellas starting out in a trade. The auto trans course was probably made up of half apprentices and the rest blokes like me with even a couple of younger servicemen from the Middle East whose government had just bought a batch of army tanks with auto boxes and needed techies to understand them. I absolutely loved these courses and I’m still best mates with one of the blokes who happened to be a night-club owner who wanted to learn to weld and enrolled in the same course. Each night was a real laugh, too, with a kind of Men’s Shed vibe happening (and I’m sure

some courses attract female students, too). Fellow UC scribbler Torrens has also done plenty of these courses, including one on paint and just a couple of years ago. And if the paint job he did on his VP Commodore is any indication, his teacher must have been a pretty handy bloke. Not to mention patient and good with children. From what I can gather, the TAFE I was attending more or less wrapped up its automotive courses a few years ago and sent them off somewhere else. I think the big auto-trades TAFE in Victoria now is the Kangan Institute which, I think, used to be Kangan-Batman TAFE. There’s also Chisholm Institute in Dandenong that does some automotive short courses. I think. But as for the other States, I wouldn’t have a clue. Help us out all you course s out there. Who knows, you might just

get a rush of enrolments by letting UC readers know what’s available in the way of some hands-on learnin’.

Decisions, decisions…

G’day Dave , hope all is well and I am enjoying the publication as usual. I wrote in some time ago after the AU Falcon came up in conversation. I own a pair of 220kW AU XR8 sedans, one auto and one manual (see photos). I know you are you are well aware of the T-Series and P250 ute, both with the lovely 5.6-litre Windsor, well, a friend of mine has a stable of TE50, TS50 and P250 Fords, in a variety of auto and manual. I can afford to buy either an automatic version of the TE or TS sedan OR a manual or auto P250 ute. The manual sedans he has are too expensive. My question is this: From a collectable view,

is a well optioned sedan in automatic a better investment than a manual ute? A little background. All cars are straight, not crashed, books, history etc. Kilometres range from 120,000 to 160,000 across all cars. I’d appreciate your thoughts. Cameron O’Brien, Email

JEEZ, WHAT a nice problem to have, Cameron. If you look at things historically, utes have sometimes had an early price spike beyond the sedan equivalent, only to have values calm down and ultimately fall behind. And I reckon that’s going to be the pattern with these FPV cars you’re looking at. So, while it’d be nice to have a manual ute with the

5.6 stroker, I reckon in the long term, the sedan with an auto is going to be the better investment. Sure, a manual sedan would be the absolute pick, but if the budget won’t stretch, there’s no point sooking over it. Bottom line? I’d buy the best, most richly optioned auto sedan I could afford. But here’s the weird thing about these cars. For my money, I reckon the XR8s you already own are actually nicer cars. I’ve said it many times before, but that 220kW tune (either with the imported alloy heads or the locallydeveloped iron heads that replaced them on cost grounds) was the old five-litre Windsor’s finest moment. It was smooth, grunty where it needed to be and made a great noise. It even felt – dare I say it – sophisticated in that modern, syrupy, high-tech V8 way. Which was obviously one hell of a trick, because one look at

the spec sheet told you it should have been anything but. Compared with that engine, I always found the locally-developed stroker was a bit on the lumpy, vibey side (not in a good way) and had a thirst like a pirate on shore-leave. Seriously, these were magic engines. As in, they could magically make ULP disappear. Frankly, I’d take a 220kW Series 3 XR8 over a 5.6 stroker any day. Sure, the big fella is rarer and represents something special to those who hold this stuff dear, but as a collectible, I don’t see that the 5.6 option ever had the marketplace traction to become Ford’s version of the stroker-cranked VS HSV GTS-R (which is incredibly collectible right now and another car that I reckon is a bit over-rated in of the actual driving).

Getting scientific You’ve set another challenge for the few remaining grey cells I have left (Dropping Revs, Morley’s workshop

Sep 2019). Why would two 1992 cars (one BMW one Nissan) and a third unidentified car (BMW) all exhibit a drop in revs to about 1000rpm on lift off from a cruise of about 1500rpm before returning to about 1500rpm? You opine that the lockup action in the torque converter must be involved. I’d agree. If the engine rpm drops but the road wheels’ rpm does not, then the transmission must disconnect, and in an auto that probably means the torque converter coming into play (there are other ways but unlikely). In cars of this vintage it is probable that the torque converter locks at around 1500rpm. If the engine rpm drops below that on a closed throttle the ECU will figure a full stop may be forthcoming and will prepare accordingly, opening the torque converter and possibly shifting gears. Later cars will hold onto the lock up longer and shift gears giving more engine braking. So, it is possible that

the engine-speed dip is a transient issue from unlocking the converter and re-establishing a degree of slip. If the engine rpm goes back to pretty well where it was, then no downshift has occurred yet. Which sounds right for an earlier ‘90s car. However, on closing the throttle the ECU will go into fuel cut-off as long as the rpm is high enough. And I’d say 1500 is probably high enough. In fuel cutoff mode it is best to keep the converter locked or at minimum slip to ensure the engine does not stall. But fuel cut-off will mean that the exhaust will contain pretty much pure air, which will hit a nicely warmed up catalyst thanks to the ECU happily alternating between a slightly rich and slightly lean mixture so the catalyst can do its thing cleaning up CO, NOx and HC. At lift-off the ECU will probably want to purge and quench the catalyst which it can do in an auto by unlocking the converter momentarily and basically running the engine at

“IF THE ENGINE RPM DROPS BUT WHEELS RPM DOESN’T THEN THE TRANSMISSION MUST DISCONNECT”

OPPOSITE PAGE The higher the number the greater the adrenaline. BELOW GTS-R is a bit overrated in of driving.

FAN BOY While it’s tempting to think of electric cooling fans as sexy, power-saving devices, don’t be ignorant to the efficiency of the car’s original mechanical cooling fan. As you’ll read elsewhere in this column, my brand-new Pinto engine in the RS2000 has lost the thermo fan I fitted a few years ago in favour of the original mechanical job I dug out of my storeroom (never, but never chuck anything away) to make sure that lovely new, tight engine doesn’t get hot at any point. I also scrounged up the original shroud which is an often overlooked piece of the puzzle, but adds enormously to the overall efficiency of the cooling system. Thermos surely have their place, but the Escort is definitely happier with old faithful dragging air through the radiator.

idle whilst it sorts things out. In this case it will probably only do it after a decent time running at a steady-ish speed with the engine warmed up. Or, a combination of the above may apply. So this phenomenon is probably a true design feature rather than the type the service advisor tells you about.¢ Lawrence Glynn, Geelong VIC

LAWRENCE, IT Is painfully obvious that you know a lot more about this stuff than I do. So it’s nice to see we agree on the basics (I’m always inclined to agree with the smartest guy in the room, not the bloke who talks loudest). And yes, I’ll stick by my

original statement that this is actually a normal sort of thing to happen and it can be traced back to the torque converter doing its thing. I actually tried this today in the MBC tow pig, and it did exactly what Paul Burge’s cars did that led him to this column for advice. That you’ve added an extra layer or two of detail to the explanation is brilliant. I guess one of the most important functions of the ECU is to keep the catalytic converters at the right temperature to do their thing, and the best way for it to do that would be – as you say – to constantly fine-tune the fuel-air mixture to control the temperature of the exhaust gases and, therefore, the catalyst. And I’m way out of my intellectual comfort zone, here, but would returning the engine to idle (via the torque converter) send the engine back into

closed-loop operation? If so, that would explain why doing so would give the ECU some thinking time. From what I can understand, EFI systems operate in closed loop (where the ECU is happy to take its cues from the oxygen sensors) at idle and on light engines loads, so presumably, when a driver backs off the throttle and the converter releases, the car returns to running in closed loop anyway. My brain hurts. Anybody else?

XD Falcons and HQ Holdens becoming classics and commanding large sums. And I started thinking; surely these cars of my youth can’t be getting THAT old? And got me reminiscing on the varied wheels of my early days, and their value now if only I’d kept them! My first car was a 1962 EK Holden with a HydraMatic slush box. Paid way too much for it, $890, lost my licence in it, and sold it for $320. Lesson learned. Licence back, I bought a 1962 VW Kombi windowless barn-door van, that took five days to get me and two mates from Melbourne to Brisbane! What would that be worth now? A while later I traded that on a 1962 AP5 Valiant, that hated starting when hot. I returned in it to Melbourne, where I found it also hated starting when cold. A trip to the local caryard upgraded it to a 1969 HT Kingswood Wagon with a 186 and three-on-the-tree. That car took me across

the Nullarbor four times (700 miles of dirt in those days) and in five years of ownership cost me a clutch and a water-pump. I finally traded it on something flash: A 1972 ZF Fairlane 500 with a 302 and column auto. Like a rat with a gold tooth! That car cost me big bucks for a blown gearbox. Finally sold it to raise funds for a house, relying on a battered 1968 HK Holden ute for transport; 161 with threeon-the-tree, and soon another blown gearbox. Is there a pattern here? Jeez, even that old wreck would be worth a motza now. Upgraded that into a 1976 XC Falcon ute, with a 4.1 and column auto. Finding myself suddenly single, I decided a sedan was more suited to the hunt for a new partner, so I swapped it for another 1972 ZF Fairlane. Yep, even the same colour as the previous one. Gearbox was good, but I managed to blow the engine. A new donk, and I

drove it up to Queensland, where a bloke offered me a bunch a cash for it…so, off to the local car-yard once again. This time I drove home in a 1972 HQ Holden Kingswood wagon, with a 253 V8 and column auto. This machine performed well enough, until late one night the diff said it’s all over. We limped home, and I threw in a second hand diff I found in a paddock (true story). Next day at the car-yard I traded it on a 1974 XB Fairmont with a 302 and T-bar auto. No mechanical probs with this one, but a loud flapping noise on the highway one day revealed the vinyl roof had taken flight and was now hanging over the bootlid. The appearance of several rust holes prompted another car exchange. A shiny ZH Fairlane at the front of a car-yard caught my eye and wallet. This one sported a 351 V8 with a T-bar auto, and, oh joy, aircon. Not long after a sump

full of water demanded a rebuild, including a rebore and oversized pistons. I recall the mechanic claiming it was now a 375, and did it go! And did it drink! Under power I swear you could see the fuel gauge move. By now it was 1986, and I traded it on my first new car, a 1986 Nissan Bluebird TR-X, which cost me zero in repairs. And every car I’ve owned since has been new, and all have been mechanically faultless. There’s been a 1990 Camry, followed by a 96 Commodore, which I kept for 12 years, a 2008 Camry, and finally, my current drive, a 2014 Mercedes C200. The Benz was my retirement gift to myself, and covers a mere 7000 or so kliks per year. Parked beside it is my wife’s Mazda 2, in front of which is parked my V Star 1300 motorcycle, whilst down the backyard is a Toyota HiAce campervan. Gotta have some toys. Jeff McKenzie, Macka QLD

THAT’S QUITE a roll-call Jeff. It comes as no surprise to learn that the brand-new cars you’ve owned have all been more reliable than the old dungers that were forced upon you in your youth, but even then, I reckon I’d rather own any of the second-handies over a Nissan Bluebird. I mean, I see your point that having the thing start every time you twist the key is a good thing. But I also have a suspicion that, judging by the nostalgic tone of your reminiscences, you’re kind of with me here. Full disclosure on the Datsun Bluebird thing: My old man bought a brand-new Spewbird in about 1982. Lord, what a floater that car was. The s were so thin you could almost see through them and the interior was falling to bits from the very day he turned up at home in it. It was also a victim of the famous batch of soft piston-rings in the day, so

it was burning more oil than petrol by the time 100,000km had clicked over. Okay, so yours was a TRX (a Series 3 going by the dates) but let’s be honest, that was a stripe kit rather than a fair dinkum sporty model, wasn’t it? Certainly it was nowhere near as interesting as a ZF Fairlane with a monster donk, right? I’ll happily put up with a few idiosyncrasies and maybe even a dab of mechanical grief here and there provided the car makes me want to drive it, not hit it with a shovel. That Blueturd Dad bought was even worse than the car that it replaced; a Series 2 Datsun 200B. Nope, not the imported SSS with a five-speed manual and independent rear end, nope a boggo 200B with four gears and a live rear end that was as under-done as the rest of the loathesome thing. Fortunately, Mater T-boned the neighbour one morning, so that was the end of that shitbox (the car, not the neighbour – she

survived to pull sketchy U-turns for many years). I wouldn’t have minded so much, but the car Dad traded-in on that mongrel Datsun was a late (74) HQ Kingswood with a four-on-the-floor, 253 V8, GTS rims and bucket seats. Sure, the old Kingy had done a quarter of a million kays by then, but it’d never had so much as a rocker cover lifted in the name of repairs. And I absolutely hate to think what that thing would be worth now. Actually, come to think of it, if I owned it, it’d be absolutely worthless, because it’d never be for sale. I keep having dreams about finding it and fixing it up, but I have a feeling it went to God many moons ago. (Mind you, you never know, so NSW rego GSL 973, if anybody’s seen it.) Meantime Jeff, you’re absolutely right when you wonder aloud what those early cars would be worth now if you still had them. Were they still in the McKenzie shed, I agree that you’d be sitting on a fortune. TradeUniqueCars.com.au

hen I first saw the event coming up, I entered straight away. I was in an HJ 253 Holden ute in the 1979 event and I wanted to take the same sort of vehicle. But I made a big mistake in ’79 by choosing a V8 because of the condition of some of the tracks we were on – it was too heavy in the front end. I should have had a hot six. The winning Commodores had GTR XU-1 spec engines in them and that’s more or less what I’ve done with this. Mine is running a four-barrel Holley carby, instead of three Strombergs. I did that because it’s easier to tune and maintain on the road. This one makes more horsepower than the XU-1s did anyway. It’s a 202 running the next cam up the range from an XU-1 and it ran 149.8hp at the back wheels on the dyno, so about 200-210 at the flywheel, which is not bad

out of a 202 engine. The HJ also had chronic understeer, which was typical of big Holdens at the time. We had an ‘off’ in Heywood Forest, just the other side Mount Gambier in 1979. We went on a narrow track and it had been raining for three days. A two-door Torana ed me – the guy in it was a South Australian rally champion and I was a bit upset he ed me. I sped up and we didn’t make the corner. The navigator and I got out and were working on getting the car out of the mud when we could hear the roar of a V8 and all we could see was blinding lights. It was an ex-London to Sydney Ford Falcon. I said to the navigator ‘run!’ and we both headed off into the scrub. Next thing you know this GT Falcon slammed into the back of the ute and pushed it forward about 20 metres into a pine tree.

put that in. Of course this was right at the end of the project and it wasn’t a lot of fun. The best thing I did was fitting a set of adaptor hubs to take these 15-inch rims, which meant I could run these Toyo Open Country tyres, which are near enough to indestructible. It also gave us a little extra ground clearance. That did give it taller gearing and I probably would have been better off with slightly shorter gearing. I was running a 3.08 diff, when a 3.36 might have been better. While it took a lot of hours to put it together, it doesn’t owe me a lot of money. And the opportunity to do the Round Australia run again – that was priceless.

80 kays south of Adelaide and I paid $1000 for it. I paid more than that just for the bullbar on the HJ, and this one came with one for free! My wife saw it and said, “What are you going to do with that, take it to the wrecking yard?” She seemed sceptical when I said I was going to fix it up and drive it around Australia. So I stripped it right back and rebuilt it, and we had no problems at all. Actually I replaced a coil in Kalgoorlie – it was a spare I had with me. It took me two-and-a-half years to build the car. I’m 68 now, not 28, so it probably takes me a bit longer to do things. It was really the engine that I spent a lot of time on. I wanted to be sure everything was 110 per cent. I took it down to crankshaft, with new bearings – everything. It got ACL race pistons, Carillo rods and a Crow cam. I probably went a little too far with the cam, going one up from XU-1 spec and probably should have stayed with that. I managed to get a Yella Terra head and had it modified by Dave Baines, who is a genius with these things. The body was really bad and took a lot of work. The doors were different colours when we stripped them and the whole thing had been covered in house paint, with a brush. One big setback was when we shorted out the electrics on a header and I ended up having to go and get a whole new wiring loom from a wrecker and

TIPS OF THE TRADE WITH

MCCRUDDEN MICK

SOMETIMES THE SMARTEST MOVE IS TO FLICK- IT YOU’VE BEEN working on this project for several years, and you’ve reached that point where your partner is saying that if you don’t finish the damn thing you’d better sell it. So you pull it out and start to discover that some components have started to rust, because it’s just been sitting too long. That’s not necessarily a huge drama, but now is the time when you have to exercise a lot of patience – even if you are under pressure to get it finished. For example you’ll lift it up and pull the wheels off and discover rust over the brake calipers. While you’ve got them out, you might as well clean them and treat them. Then little things will get in the way, such as you go to set up the pedals and discover one of the adjuster rods has rusted. I guess the message is, don’t get frustrated, just methodically work your way through them. The best advice, to borrow a line from Major Winchester in the old TV series MASH, “I do one job and I do it well, then I move on.” That’s exactly how you should approach your project. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. A lot of people in the trade, me included when I’m not completely swamped with work, don’t mind 124

TradeUniqueCars.com.au

offering a bit of advice to help people along. And here’s a radical idea: swallow your pride and send out the specialist jobs that you’re not well-equipped to do. Even I do it. For example, there’s a Monaro in my workshop at the moment which is shaping up to be a sensational car. I decided to go through the hydraulic system, piece by piece. We found all sorts of things loose and a host of little issues and spent several hours on it. Given this is what’s pulling up the car, and

operating the clutch, it’s a pretty important area! Once we got fluid in it and started to bleed the system, we discovered a leak in one of the hoses, at the crimp. Being an older car, there are parts that allegedly bolt straight in – however, in this case the part wasn’t available. Rather than lose any more time, or risk fitting something that wasn’t right for the task, we sent the whole car to Northern Brake & Clutch – not far from us – and let them do the job because they’re equipped to make up the

right hose from scratch, and sort out any other issues. They spend their whole lives doing those sorts of jobs, which means they’ll be quicker, the result will be right, and I can move on to other tasks. The same applies to your vehicle. Sometimes when you run into a headache, it just makes more sense to on that job to someone who specialises in it.

LAST MONTH I touched on some of the work needed to get my VC back on the road and running again after I bought it at an auction a few years ago. Body and interior-wise, the car was mint. However, as I have since found out, mechanically it was a whole different story. To get it sorted, Uncle Phil pointed me in the direction of Dick Savy of Savy Motorsport in Campbellfield, who mainly specialises in modified and full race-spec engines, but they also do rebuilds and blueprinting of standard engines. The latter is what I was after – my motor to be brought back to life while still staying as close as possible to standard.

After an initial compression and cylinder leakage test of the engine, the results weren’t good at all. I already knew the car wasn’t healthy and burning too much oil so it wasn’t that much of a surprise. But the shock was eventually finding out just how bad the wear and tear was on the engine for such a relatively low kilometre car. The cylinder leakage test showed number five was in trouble at 51 per cent (it should be around 20 per cent for an engine of its age) and two more were on their way out. Plus oil was leaking past the piston rings, the cooling system needed an overhaul, the

09 main bearings were worn – and then add gearbox leaks and a worn clutch! And that was just the beginning. Tearing down the engine revealed excessive wear in the bores and pistons, the rings and valve seals were worn, the cam shaft bearings were completely worn out, the cylinder heads and crankshaft needed a tidy up and the list just went on. The car was just beginning to

show all its secret years of neglect. The job list looks something like this: strip down and thorough clean of the engine, the system balanced and the heads fixed up, valve seats tidied up, plus new camshaft, new lifters, new pistons, new valve guides, new cam bearings, new radiator, starter motor overhaul, power steering pump reconditioned, new

“THE SHOCK WAS EVENTUALLY FINDING OUT JUST HOW BAD THE WEAR AND TEAR WAS” clutch, new custom twin exhaust, plus a whole lot more. The sump was also acid dipped and painted and the intake manifold water blasted, with some zinc-plating to look brand new. They also sourced and cleaned a genuine timing case cover to replace the aftermarket one as well as plating or replacing all of the bolts. Even the correct engine bolts made a difference once it was all assembled; it was looking just as it should. The final step was to run the engine on the dyno for testing. After an initial start-up and run-in, it was given a tune-up. Then it went through some test cycles to make sure the rings are bedded. After that, it was

given a final power tune so that once it’s back in the car, everything is all ready to go and no more running-in for me to do once I drive it out of the workshop. Attention to detail makes a difference with the end result. Slightly higher compression, blueprinting and balancing all amounted to a corresponding power increase naturally and, with a hint of a little cam in there, it feels like a whole new car. You could tell the difference in the first few hundred metres. I now have a nice blueprinted, beautifully smooth and responsive standard engine that is a pleasure to drive. One happy little VC and a very happy owner!

WORDS  PHOTOS  GLENN TORRENS

ELECTRONIC multi-point fuel injection was a big deal when I was a kid. It’s most of the reason why the five-litre V8 engine in my 1989 VN Holden Calais uses less petrol than my (now sold) 1982 Mitsubishi Sigma fourcylinder, despite having twice the cylinders, almost double the capacity (5.0 litres instead of 2.6) and more than double the power (165 vs 73kW)! It’s plain to see that automotive technology

advanced a long way during the 1980s! This eleccy-tech – bragged of by various bold EFI graphics emblazoned on many 1980s cars – also opened-up a whole new world of performance. For instance, in the 1990s at Street Machine magazine, I was involved with a new Crow Cams performance upgrade for Holden’s popular fuel-injected V8 engines: a kit of a camshaft, an exhaust system and a re-tuned ECU mem-cal (also

03

02 New injectors were cheaper than servicing the old. But I’ve been warned about the long-term quality of these cheap replacements… time will tell. 04 My tweaks included the smoother flowing intake of a latermodel Commodore V8. Does it increase power? Not sure. But I like it.

05

03 I’ve had old plugs cause erratic idle in other Holden V8s (and my VWs) so I screwed in a new set of spark plugs just to be safe. 05 The replacement memcal with the V8’s new operating parameters was installed in the engine control unit (ECU).

known as a chip) that stored the engine’s operating data for spark and injector timing. My role was to provide about driveability, to assess the performance increase of the modified Commodore V8 and share the results on the pages of Street Machine. Edward Vieusseux was the laptop wielding mechanical engineer responsible for the ECU changes. His speciality was the emerging industry of tuning fuel-injected cars. In the mid-1980s he conceived and managed MOTOR magazine’s Mobil supercharged 4.1-litre XF Ford Falcon EFI project car where he developed the graphic interface that made tuning Haltech EFI computers so easy, helping that Aussie company attract international interest. After working with Crow Cams, Ed had a development role with the WGR Commodore (Wayne Gardner Racing) road car division, too. Anyhow, I’ve kept in touch with ‘Fast Eddy’ in the years since and when I mentioned I’d bought a VN V8 Calais, he smiled and said, “Gee, we’ll have to do a chip for that…!” There were some crazy claims for some chips in the 1990s. Believe some of the glossy magazine ads and your standard 165kW Holden V8 could have had 200kW or more! – by simply TradeUniqueCars.com.au

“IT’S NO USE CHASING POWER UNLESS EVERYTHING IS IN TIP TOP SHAPE” But Ed persevered, developing tunes to complement engines upgraded with betterbreathing intakes, exhausts and cams, like what HSV offered with its 180, 185 and 200kW engines. It’s no use chasing power unless everything is in tiptop shape so I began my Calais’s little hot-up with

it have now? No idea yet, to be honest, but the fresh injectors and Fast Eddy’s tune provides a wave of extra torque and sharpens throttle response, making the car feel 300kg lighter. A trek to Melbourne proved there’s no fuel economy penalty. Maybe one night I’ll take it to Sydney Dragway to see how quick it is!

I like it quiet; a while ago when my now ex-girlfriend, hung-over from her regular binges was faffing around in my house while gurgling coffee in the morning, I found I couldn’t concentrate on my work – as fun as it is – until she’d eventually got herself together and left for work. It seems that I need peace when I’m working… even rain on my tin roof distracts me! But recently I’ve realised I have a different mind-set

when I’m working on my cars in my shed. Last year my faithful old radio – the first thing I switched on when I walk into the shed – started to make odd noises: Brzzoooaachzzzp! An exploratory twiddle of its knobs and a bit of a slap on its cabinet brought Triple J radio back crisp and clear. No worries! Until it happened again a week or two later. More volume-knob twiddles and another bop on the top of its plastic cabinet had Good Nights playing again. The third time, I scowled as I realised that my glorious old 1980s grey-with-chromeedges Toshiba boom-box

stereo radio/cassette player, that I’d proudly bought with my first two months’ earnings as a 10-year-old paper-boy, was gravely ill. Sure enough, a few days later: CrAcKle-zdDdzZztcraCKle… and silence. It couldn’t be revived. RIP Toshiba. 1980-2019. You Witnessed Many Cars Being Fixed. After a long hot summer, I slid into my routine of regular evenings and the occasional weekday in my shed. But for some reason, I didn’t feel as happy or as productive; I didn’t seem as motivated. Tasks that I’d usually finish in a week seemed to be taking two. I

was going to my shed later and switching the lights off earlier. Things were… I dunno… different. Then I realised it was because I didn’t have happy sounds in the background. My shed had become a silent tomb of old dead cars, not the joyful toy-box of fun projects with me whistling as I worked with Triple-J radio’s Bridget and Linda and Dr Karl keeping me company as I spannered and sanded. So I’ve bought a new shed radio – a 1990s radio/ cassette that my mate Dodty spotted in a local charity shop for $15 – and I’m grinning again! I need some music in the background!

JON FAINE

LOST ARTS CAN SOMEONE PRESS THE PANIC BUTTON? WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY AT THE RECENT Motorclassica there were glamorous restorer’s stalls advertising not just their wares, their skills, their products but also their desperate need for skilled trades to work on the cars that are piling up for restoration. Glenn Olsen, regarded as a master of the craft, a specialist restorer of mostly E-Type and sometimes other Jaguars, devoted the biggest banner at his stall for staff. He has two years and more of work already sitting in his workshop, but cannot recruit the staff to do it. He sets a high standard, and not just any kid wielding a dolly and hammer will make the grade, but he can’t find anyone to come and do the work. I’ve had the privilege of watching Glenn and his team at work. I have seen them accept a car for re-finishing after it was supposedly restored elsewhere. An expensively and extensively refurbished shiny and superficially flash Series 1 E-Type 3.8 Roadster had front bumpers that were at slightly different heights, an initially invisible but clearly bog-filled crease in the nose, unoriginal brake and heater parts and the interior with muddled up 1963 trim matched to 1968 trim as if that was good enough. It isn’t good enough, and much of the expensive work invested into the car had to be redone. Glenn has jobs coming to him from across Australia, Singapore and NZ. He exports 136

TradeUniqueCars.com.au

E-Type s to the UK. The work is done to the highest standards achievable. When a car leaves his workshop it is better than when it left the Jaguar factory. Other restorers, who don’t want their names published, tell a similar story. There’s a generation of workers, seniors dare I suggest, who have created good businesses and careers, but are at – or approaching – the age where they want to slow down or stop. There is no-one coming through to keep the work going. If we want our hobby to thrive, it needs to be sustainable. The ‘throw away’ culture has taken over with smash repairers and insurers refusing to re-use and repair a damaged door skin, instead replacing the entire door just because it has a dent. Time is money, and the fresh door is quicker to bolt on than

repairing the original. Plastic front and rear s are discarded instead of being repaired and painted, and the skills are being lost. Is there a simple solution? No one is going to create a national training regime to equip people for work that is inessential, an indulgence and catering to the obsessive interest of a tiny proportion of the population – car enthusiasts, in case you were wondering. There won’t be a royal commission, nor any motions ed in parliament, no election campaign will be fought over the decline in skilled trades in the classic and collector car movement. But the market place ought to correct the problem, and probably will. Sadly, that means there will be a diminishing number of skilled trades working to the highest value jobs. If you want a repair

or restoration done to a 1970s Toyota or a less than very valuable Morris Minor, you’re competing for time at the shop and paint booth with the owners of Porsche and Jaguars, Ferrari and Cadillacs. Overheads and business costs in cities and suburbs are making trades marginal for many smaller repairers. shops in country towns are a much better proposition. My Alfa Spider was repaired, de-rusted and repainted for a good price at a country shop just an hour and a half out of town. Job done on budget, on time and to a very good quality. The downside for city slickers is you cannot drop in to check on progress on your way home from work. But the offset is that the rural work force is keen, the price is competitive, the enthusiasm is clear and you get a swell drive home when finished!

ROB BLACKBOURN ACKBOURN – V VAN MAN

LACKBOURN ROB B

MR WHIPPY? ROB’S MUSINGS THIS MONTH SOUND VERY MUCH LIKE ONE OF THOSE IT-SEEMED-LIKE-A-GOOD-IDEA-AT-THE-TIME TALES. A WHILE back I described an episode about repowering an Aussie mate’s Ford Transit campervan while I was working in the UK. Hopefully I can get away with one more campervan yarn, the final one I promise. For young Aussie tourists (as well as families like mine with kids), campervans really worked well for exploring UK and Europe in the seventies. Their uninspiring on-road performance wasn’t an issue with short distances between interesting places compared with what we’re used to; as well they were a perfect fit with the excellent camping grounds you would generally find close to most of the important tourist destinations. So I ed the campervan tribe, with a PB Commer that I bought as a minibus before converting it. The Commers were okay, with a reliable Hillman-based engine and driveline. But they looked odd given their knockkneed appearance – the front track was way too narrow for the body. But one had turned up in good nick with modest mileage at the right price. While it did everything we asked of it without faltering I had no quarms about letting it go when it was time to return home from the UK. Then a funny thing happened as we were settling in back in Oz. One of the things we missed was the regular campervan trips at weekends or longer with the kids. So I started checking out vans in the old Trading Post. Surprisingly an ideal 138

TradeUniqueCars.com.au

prospect popped up – a CF Bedford Dormobile camper, a personal import from the UK. I had always preferred the looks of CF Bedfords over Transits, Kombis and certainly Commers. And this one was in nice overall condition except its little Vauxhall-sourced four-cylinder motor was pretty weary. That gave me the perfect excuse to build up a sweet, warmish Holden red motor to repower it, promising the addition of a bit of pizzazz to the driving experience. A nice 186 turned up, freshly overbored, fully reco-ed and balanced. A set of X2 cast-headers and matching twin-Strombergs from my shed would soon be bolted on. A mild Wade cam was on the list and I started sniffing around for an Aussie four-speed and a rear axle with gearing better suited to the six. A front disc set-up would be worth considering too. Game on!

Then late one night, out of the blue – more precisely out of a sidestreet, through a stop sign, with his lights off – came a setback. Coming from the left he T-boned me amidships. It was a hard hit that pushed the van up on two wheels. Fortunately with no oncoming traffic I was able to grab enough right-hand lock momentarily to get all wheels back on the deck before pulling up with the crew intact, despite elevated adrenaline levels all round. With the caved-in side, the creased roof and the badly damaged interior fittings it was unsurprising that the CF was a write-off, putting our plans in deep strife. While we were waiting for the insurance payout and the cash from the sale of the van to a man with an appetite for a serious project, another funny thing happened. We decided that the campervan thing was best

treated as an interesting part of our little family’s history rather than part of its future. My days of being mistaken for a Mr Whippy man were behind me, as were my plans to re-engineer the van’s driveline – I think my nice 186 went on to power its new owner’s ski boat. I replaced the CF with an as-new, low-mileage G60 Nissan Patrol – an entirely different vehicle that provided entirely different camping trips to places entirely different from those we explored in the UK and Europe.

T

WORDS & PHOTOS  GUY ALLEN

hese were a popular car back in their day – sort of the bank manager’s special for the upwardly mobile young executive. It was arguably a step up from a Holden Premier, without the reliability! It was sprightly for its day, rather than a performance car. I’ve owned it for a couple of years, though I’ve had Triumphs for much longer. When I was first getting into the classic car scene I was thinking of getting an HR Holden, but then I saw one of these and changed my mind.I tracked down a 2500TC and before I knew it there was another in the garage, then a couple more, then I started hillclimbing with them. This one came with the Superlight wheels and they go better with the slightly wider rims and lower profile tyres. The AMI badge says it was a locally-assembled car; they were done in Melbourne and Sydney. You need to have a bit of mechanical sympathy to own one. So regular oil changes are a must, and you need to monitor the points and ignition system. There’s a lot that can go wrong with them, but once you set them up they’re a marvellous car. They drive very well and are very nice on the highway. There are plenty of spare parts around, including in Australia, and you can get a lot of things immediately. Giovanni Michelotti was responsible for the design of this and the Stag. He was a very prolific and talented designer over that period.

1965 MERCEDES-BENZ SL230 FINDING THE RIGHT CAR WAS A LONG AND FRUSTRATING PROCESS BUT IT ENDED WELL WORDS  GUY ALLEN PHOTOS  BEN GALLI

I

bought this car sight-unseen from Sydney. I was tired of looking – had been for quite some time – and always getting pipped at the post. I did my research beforehand, spoke to previous owners and mechanics, and got it. At the time I was targeting this model. I just like the look – it’s timeless and a classic. It’s a Paul Bracq design and I wanted it to be original. It’s running the Benz straight six of the period and a four-speed automatic transmission, with drum brakes all round. The engine is a single overhead cam unit and has early Bosch injection. They were used to good effect in rallying. The interior is very typical of the period and the huge steering wheel is instantly recognisable. I have other cars, but this one is special – it’s elegant and easy to drive. Though I need the space at home, this one isn’t going anywhere. 142
