Re: Starting Old Racing Cars
The Gipsy Fiat racing car is a beautifully crafted Australian built special that has been campaigned at various key historic race meetings mainly Philip Island, Historic Winton and Sydneys Eastern Creek.
The Gipsy Fiat is powered by a de Havilland Gipsy Moth aero engine and also utilises a modified Fiat 501 chassis and steering set up, 1927 Buick gearbox and various 1929 Chrysler components. All these components are pre-1930 as required by the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport for Group J(pre-1930 racing car) builds.

Hey these are great Bry! I'm shocked by how noisy the little Rockwell-JLO two cylinder motor in the Chaparral 2J is. It actually drowns out the sound of the V8!

Just words - no sound but I think you will get the idea.
