Not sure if anyone has provided an update on this. The RS2600 was not an original car but built as a replica...in much the same way dad built his. Initially dad and Terry Holtham were only going to build the engine but ended up doing a lot more. This extended to becoming pit crew during the 1976 / 1977 GTX Series. Norris won his class and I believe came 2nd outright...with Inky Tulloch winning the series in the Camaro. The car ran a few events after this and then Norris sold the car and headed to the UK. He now resides in Melbourne and mum and dad caught up with him at Phillip Island. The car exists today...lower North Island. Check out the HSC / HMC Facebook page for a photo posted there today.

You will notice the tow wagon of OSCA drivers choice in the backround. They all used old International ambulances. Sturdy, with lots of room in the back.

John Thorby had a Rover V8 in the Viva, John Harcourt did a bit of work on it after JT moved to the SI. Post JT it ended up with the Heslin brothers who put in the Chev V8

It had Holden engine etc., sold car to Jennifer Mossman who was very quick in it as well and then Built the Viva ran for awhile then shifted south, believe he ran car at Ruapuna etc. A very clever engineer. He had his hair done in green the same as the viva, hard case. Caught up with him a couple of years back at Ruapuna and OSCA 40th night.

then jennifer sold it to Phil (ACDC) rudd, Then graham clark in Tauranga. It was on trade me only 6 months ago.
