That's a car! Quite a light car, despite the big block. Kevlar body helps.

Merv, out of interest for you, we have big block aluminium cars in our shop that are over 300kg's lighter than that Robnell.

Our composite body Cobra will be around the same weight in the same spec as well.

This Robnell was a very big dollar build from the factory and many upgrades afterwards. Also very successful on the track at Nationals many years ago.

It is the Robnell I think it is, after looking more closely at the photos.

300Kg is worth the effort and in Ford big block. Impressive thought I couldn't see it fitting into a Harrison?

The real bonus for a potential NSW is the rego and low volume compliance plate, that cuts out the engineering dramas too.
