Gene Cook is still around in Melb with his Eng Building business. He worked for Cazarro at same period of time so would maybe know where the car was sourced from.

Re: Geoghegan & Sons Ashfield - where did they advertise? Tracking a 1963 Alfa Sprint

Longford 1966....1570 cc and Gene Cook was the entered driver. Cooky drove both Cazarro cars frequently .
He (Cook) also "assisted" the rollover of the TI Super when Cazzaro was driving it.
By this time they had parted company on not so pleasant terms.
