Bring Back the All-Comers

HI PAUL, I think there needs to be a lot more research into those early days of the all-comers. Next to the Morrari, my favourite was the Johnny Miller Renault Dauphine, which had a 327 sitting on top of the back axle / rotary hoe v-drive forward and back to a s/v Ford diff. It smoked the tyres all the way down the back straight at Levin. In the same era as the Morrari, Segedin and Francevic were there too. I'm glad I am old ‘cause I can still remember these cars racing.

Cheers, Grahame Berry.
