Not a Cobra or a Ford but one man's dream
Here's a little number that was knocked together from scratch by a mate in QLD
He is prepared to build a couple more if someone comes along with the readies Brabham BT24 Replica A Picture on the Wall on Vimeo |
Good on him for seeing it through to completion. What an achievement.
It's good to see an open wheeler at Lakeside too. Great video and an excellent story! |
What a great find.
Thanks for sharing. I echo Craig's remarks also. What a die hard! |
Gee that's a good yarn isn't it?
And how good does the Brabham rep look going around Lakeside? Brings back memories of the Tasman series of the 60s. All the big names came here on a sort of between seasons holiday, and to soak up some Aussie sun, although the racing was full-on. Clark Hill Courage Amon Bandini Rindt Bell...... there we were, young blokes with our Healeys, sitting up on the hill watching the cream of international open-wheeler drivers doing their stuff. We didn't realise how lucky we were. I miss those days..... I really want to see this car in action and meet its creator. |
He was a great guy to do business with but I never knew he had such issues.
A bit more of his build project here:- F 5000, well sort of - GT40s.com |
What an excellent story, he is an inspiration to us all.
Notice the engine choice fellas? :) |
That was quite emotional. Well done John. And a fantastic build. Even love the custom trailer he 'knocked up' for it as well!
Thanks Dave for the thread. |
Great vid - I really enjoyed watching. Inspirational.
|
