Baz, That looks certainly looks like a Milano GT. Our very own Jason Nichols has restored one of those. I wonder if it's the same one? http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...56Milano_2.jpg Cheers |
Jason's Milano is tiny in real life. I can't physically fit into it even with the Gurney bubble. It's a neat thing with the engine bay chocka block full for Holden Grey motor.

Looks like it is.
http://wwwbollyblog.blogspot.com/201...-for-sale.html I think link is broke. heres the path; Bolly Blog: A Milano GT with a bit of history for sale. |
Baz, I hope you dont mind, but I posted these pics on a Valiant website, one of the members is a retired race car photographer for Race Car News magazine, he was around from late 50's till mid 80's.
Here is what he remembers about the cars pictured. A Milano GT Holden, possibly Bruce Leer, at Silverdale Hillclimb (I think it's Silverdale) Erol Richardson, I believe, at the same hill. (Open wheeler) A Datsun rally car at that hill too. The back-to-front pic is the Leo Geoghegan Holden with Repco head, MG box and discs etc (Blach FX Back to front due to number on door, but another member has pointed out that only the number is backward - the NSW on rear quarter is correct, the exterior mirror is on drivers door & the rego sticker is in L/H corner) Next is under the bonnet thereof. Then there's the Sir Gawainne Baillie Galaxie through the Sandown Fence at the '64 Sandown 6-hour race (as punched through the stout timber by Lex Davison) Ian Geoghegan's Mustang rear view exiting Suttons Corner at Oran Park, in colour heading out of the Oran Park Esses for that corner and finally, in the Esses at Bathurst. |

It is a Milano GT. Very observant. Most people who I have shown the photo to, thought it was a Datsun 260Z. Baz |

Sure you only want Fords at Homebush? This is what it did to one today. |
That is normal for a Ford engine.
|
Yeah but they get to run at Homebush.
|
Run aground by the looks of that pic.
|
Yes it looks like the sump has coming into contact with something
|
Or one has forgot to tighten their sump plug!!
|
Yes, Rod bottomed out on a short but steep ramp. The sump plug got ripped out, unfortunately screwing it back in did not stop the oil.:CRY:
I can confirm that the Chev and Toyota powered Cobras did not need a tow truck to get home.:3DSMILE: Ben |
Any PIcs guys?
|
How many wet arses?
|
Yes many wet arses yesterday but great weekend regardless.

Well done guys...the cars look fantastic.

What time was the driver's parade? I watched Channel 7 from 12 midday, but didn't see a Cobra.
