Team Cambridge Monaro

[GD66]

Monaro will absolutely be in Cambridge colours.

And the car was built from scratch as a bare body to be the Cambridge Monaro- it is its birthright.

Great ! More power to your right arm, son !

I remember running with Albie with his Anglia in pre 65 in 1991.
You mean to say that you dont want the fun of riding the bike up here through the snow and retelling the story on Road Trip thread?

To go with the previously seen 4 bolt block, new 327 crank, these 461 fuelie heads will complete the base part of the engine. Internals, Pistons, cam, rods etc are on their way.

At the December 69 meeting at Pukekohe was this setup. It must have been parked not far from the Cambridge Monaro.
Does anyone know anything about this Ranchwagon and what looks like a fuel trailer. The pic is by Jack Inwood, copyright Bruce McLaren Trust.

As it's parked beside the ambulance and tow truck, I'd reckon it could be a fire-fighting trailer with a chemical component.

The Ranchwagon - just a good old trusty Ford. From my days as a flaggie at Puke the trailer definitely looks like the fire tender. The large white sphere is a pressureised dry powder tank and the circular apparatus at the rear is the hose reel.

This arrangement was superceded with either an International or Dodge pickup cab and chassis. I also brought out one of the fire trucks when with the NZ Fire Service at Papatoetoe. Usually at the hairpin. Took a bit of convincing the CFO but we got there. The TK Bedford was a handful negotiating Railway corner and the hairpin at speed (50kph) particularly with 300 gallons of water sloshing around in the on-board tank.
