Glen Seton's 5th car.

It is the complete car with original log book, not a car rebuilt from a shell as is usually the case because teams kept the internals for their next car.

It was built as an EF by Glenn Seton racing for Bathurst 1994 using a lightweight EB shell. It qualified on pole in 1'12", but DNF the race due to tailshaft failure. It was then driven by Alan Jones in the 1995 touring car championship and finished 2nd at Bathurst with Alan Grice as co-driver.

It was last driven by Glen at the Brock Classic (Calder twilight race, 1995) without tobacco sponsorship. Barry Seton took the car and pit gear during the split with Glen in 1996 and then sold it to Ray Hislop, who ran 6 touring car rounds, 1 GP and 2 Bathursts before selling it to me. I have completely rebuilt the car including new pistons, valves, springs and rockers in the engine.
My intention was to run it as an EL2 (better aerodynamics) with Stone Brothers spec engine (more power) but a lack of sponsorship meant the car has not run since the rebuild. The first picture shows the car in EF form and Seton non-tobacco spec. The third shows the current EL2 form, resprayed in Seton blue. It can be easily reverted to EF. The last picture shows the stone Brothers engine spec. The engine is currently in Seton spec. as shown in the second picture. The Stone Brothers engine spec parts (distributor and inlet system) are included as well as both model body part sets. There are lots of spare parts including 14 wheels, 6 crown wheel and pinion sets of various ratio's, a complete diff centre assy, 2 sets of brake discs, a radiator, 3 sets of fibre glass body bits, 1 set of bonnet, boot and doors, a clutch assy, various springs, headlights and tail lights etc. Also included is a set of pit equipment that makes working on the car easier even if not doing pit stops;
4 high torque rattle guns, high pressure quick lift system, hoses, regulators, pit boom and bottle restraint. 2 Fuel churns, overflow bottle and overhead fuel rig (required for more recent events due to rule change). 2 brake caliper spreaders.
All this for $130,000. It should appreciate with time as the historic value is realised.

I am seeking any information AND photographs on Ian WELLS’ Kenner Special. Ian had (Rob?) KENNER build the Triumph twin cylinder Tiger 110 /500 cc engined car in the early 1960s. Ian raced the car a few times in South Australia in the 500cc events. He also did some testing with Gary COOPER for the Elfin Formula Vee prototype at Mallala also in the early 60s. Ian took the car to Salisbury in South Australia and took the standing 1/4 Mile record on the 10th October 1965 with a time of 17.91 seconds. This record still stands today as it was set prior to 1983 the CAMS record cut off point. Ian later sold the car to a bloke in Sydney who wanted it for his daughter, the car disappeared for years and recently, apparently turned up with the Crocker Special when Jim CROCKER located his old car and bought it back for restoration. Jim told Ian that he had the remnants of the Kenner and that he could have it if he wanted to. The Kenner ended up in Ian’s garage until David REID, David PALSTRA and myself winkled it out of him and spirited it away to David PALSTRA’s Service Centre in Blackburn. The Kenner is now awaiting it’s fate in the hands of the new owner(s) and we need, (a) Photographs. (b) Information. (c) Inspiration. Any information, history, photographs, snippets, rumours, innuendos etc would be gratefully received. Regards, Paul 1/- 98764403 paulschilling@optusnet.com.au Ad placed 5th June 2007

Photographs
We have now changed from film to digital photography and can now offer an economical way of getting a good photographic record of you and your car in action. Instead of just a few prints we are now offering a CD with all the photos taken of you at each meeting.

Depending on the number of shots taken, there will usually be at least ten, and up to around twenty five high resolution images on each CD.

These images will be free of copyright for personal and club us. This means you can transfer them to your computer and print as you wish, view them on your TV with a Jpeg CD/DVD player, or take the disk to a processing lab to get your real prints. 

The images can be freely published in club magazines provided Gary Hill or Elgee Words and Pictures is acknowledged.

The price for this CD service is $27.50 per car and driver, including postage.

At this price you will understand that we cannot offer previews, although a selection of low resolution photos can be seen online at www.hillclimbracing.com.au <http://www.hillclimbracing.com.au/> as well as more information about hill climbing in Australia.

Those familiar with our film prints will know the quality to expect as we still use Canon professional equipment.

We can also still supply professional enlargements. Please contact us for prices

I recently purchased a Lotus Cortina(Mk1) from Steve Lunn which was owned & raced by Ron Hodgson & Peter Hopwood in the past. Although it came with some CAMS log books I am missing Ron Hodgsons log book& I was wondering if you could help trace any history or pictures from your archives? Any assistance would be much appreciated as I have hit a dead end so far,

Thankyou kindly, Jamie McGinn. Ad placed 21st August 2007


I am trying to trace information on what I believe is a historic race car which I have purchased from Victoria, I was wondering if it is possible to put it in the newsletter, with the hope that someone may recognise it and know some of its history .

 

The vehicle was purchased from Victoria and all we could find out is that the fellow we purchased it from got is when his uncle from Geelong passed away, the car had been disassembled in his uncles garage for roughly the last 20 years he recalls, When we purchased it we were un aware of what it was derived from, I have since established it is a early triumph herald chassis and running gear which has had a modified Goggomobil dart body placed onto it.

 

We believe it has been a race car fro several reasons there is a catch tank glassed into the body at the front , all drain plugs have been lockwired the brake pedal is set up with dual master cylinders with bias it has had several sets of numbers and never appears to have had blinkers fitted front or rear .

 

Based on the layers of paint I suggest the rear flares were added at a later stage to the front modifications. The original paintwork prior to the flares appears to be a very good job there is also painted scroll lines and what appears to be a crest painted on the side  under the top layer(I am going to try to remove the top layer of paint which may reveal more information, the top layer of paint is a poor quality finish as are the flares.

 

As you can see in the photos someone has cut doors into it then refiberglassed them in  however this appears to have been a relative recent modification.

 

 

I have also set up a webpage which was initially to try to identify it however I will continue to update it with any information which comes to hand

 

 

Thank you  - Norm Vesty  Ad placed 21st August 2007

It is based on a Standard 10. South Aust Reg. It looks to have been professionally built. Most panels are sheet steel although guards are fibreglass.

Hello, I’m trying to track down some history on the 1962 Midget I have recently bought. I have been told that it used to race in Victoria, and that it came from there to Queensland in about 2001 without engine or gearbox. As can be seen in the attached photos, the seat and steering wheel were pretty tatty, suggesting it was campaigned for quite some time so I’m sure someone will recognise it and give me a lead. The car is now fully rebuilt and competing in MG club events here in Qld. I’d like to get the car log booked, hence my search for history.

Perhaps someone in VHRR may remember the car from race meetings past. Could you please forward this message to any likely source of info that you might have? Any leads at all would be appreciated as the ‘previous owner chain’ reached a dead end (literally). I can provide higher resolution photos if required.

Cheers, Mike Allen

Earlier this year I purchased the Graham Gilbert built 1967 GWG Formula 3
I'd like to ask if any members have any original photographs of this car in their collections as I have only one. (ref pic) I'm asking if I could have copies or scans of any of these that you may have.
The car was extensively raced in Victoria by Graham from January 1968 to August 1969 then up until April 1970 by the Terry Robertson Motors racing teams driver Stuart Anderson.
The car was predominantly black with a green strip down the side and raced as No.59  and 109 and painted Green as No.58 post August 1969 with Terry Robertson Motors racing team.

Elfin 620 Formula Ford
I am restoring an Elfin 620 Formula Ford car which was driven by Sir Jack Brabham at a 'Race Of Champions' event held at Calder Park sometime in 1974. Sir Jack has confirmed that he did drive in and won this event but I have not been able to find any further information such as the date, photo's etc.

It is my intention to restore the car to this period and photo's/descriptions would be particularly useful. Unfortunately I do not have possession of CAMS log books from that period but I believe the car was probably predominately blue with some white at that time. The car was originally purchased by Jack Brabham Ford p/l in 1973 and driven by a Bob Beasley for a while. It was purchased by a G. Hoogstraate in 1986 and raced at various circuits in Victoria and SA. It changed hands again in 1989 to a G. Manion and was raced at circuits including Amaroo, Bathurst and Winton. By this stage I believe the car had been painted black with yellow horizontal pin stripping. The last race number was 85.

The car will shortly be included as an 'associate' car on the West Australian Racing Museum's new website - www.warm.org
