Don't know if you will get this, rain was really heavy in Toowoomba and I was unsure if the event would go on, not sure if I will make it, will see what the weather looks like in the morning.

Is the event running rain, hail or shine?

Crikey,
Looks like a pair of good windscreen wipers still ok. Lucky boy to walk away from that, what a shame to have a Ho end that way. :(

Sad to see a car, any car end up like that.

Now, shall I dare to start ....

is that really a genuine Ho ...

the paint isn't original, as evidenced by the primer under the splitting paint on the roof

:shock:

does anyone kow the correct body numbers for Ho's ?

Cheers
Rob

That's really cool information.
Many thanks for that.
Why oh, why aren't Bellett's as well documented ? :(
Still that's part of what makes them special.
