Ye Olde Raisen Cars

Luverly....but what is it? Stutze Bearcat?

Neat! Bugatti??

Well....

No.7 is a T-Model Ford, judging by the exhaust still a side-valver, i.e. no fancy ohv conversion. I don't know the car, but a lot of these speedsters have no history, they are just made up by people who find themselves with yards full of T parts.

No.82 is the real thing (isn't it?), Ron Edgerton's rebuilding of the 1919 Indianapolis 5-litre Ballot as raced there and in France, at Maroubra, at Aspendale, at Lobethal etc. Now in the U.K. being properly re-created at vast expense. Don't know how far they are going, Jim Gulland said the chassis was Australian Six (from Don Harkness' 1926 rebuild after Alan Cooper wrecked the car at Maroubra), the back axle who knows what.

Thank you to David from Sydney who PMd me on another forum -what dedication!
