Been watching them since about that time and I haven't noticed a lot of difference over the yrs.

I liked the bit where Bond had a puncture and on his way back to the pits, Mike Raymond mentioned that it was about $300 of mag wheel he was destroying....doesn't sound all that dear.....but in those days that was probably 2 weeks wages for me !!  ;D

Happy to be corrected, but it doesn't look quite correct.

Going by the comments to go with the photo "  Car was built by the late Ashley Hobson from South Australia. A brilliantly talented engineer. He also built a V8 MKIII and converted a MKI GRANADA Ghia with a 5.0 litre Tickford. His work is so good you could almost believe they were factory built. "   https://webzoom.freewebs.com/zephyrsa/Newsletters%202017/The-West-Wind_4-2017-April.pdf also a Tickford powered pearl white Zephyr ..
