....yep, well spotted young Rodney.....Coz's '34 suffered from some teething issues on it's first big outing to Mt.Gambier in '70.....problems with the timing chain on the tri-powered 389 Poncho saw it arrive and leave MtGambier on a rope.......

.....but once Geoff got it sorted out....faaark....could it move...... :shock: .....we were lucky enough to have Coz's car as a wedding car along with Barry Wilson's wild custom '33 sedan.....it was a bit of fun..... 8) 8)
