Good question Allan, I'm not sure. Its owned by the Rush family who have quite a large collection, so I just shot 4 cars moving quickly through each one.

How's the Datsun progressing?
Actually don't spend much time on facebook either Rhys. I just put a couple of posts there a day. Its mostly been my book writing that has kept me away. Datsun is progressing slowly! I'll add a video to the thread.

I've not been on here much lately sorry. Just wanted to let ya'll know I recently started a Roaring Season YouTube channel. Its a low-buck set-up; just me and my smartphone, and a few basic gismo's.

I'm featuring various historic cars and automobilia collections, and filming as I go.

Here is a short video on the Brabham BT29 raced in period by Evan Noyes and Graeme Lawrence. Its now part of the impressive Rush family collection:
