The (Ken's) RS2000 was white with a red hip flash and the traditional black bonnet. IIRC, 1985 was our last year playing in group A. The car was then rebuilt and modified to compete in the Wynns Safari.Quote:

I was referring to the NSW GEAR club. Here is a link to their website.Quote:

Note the NSW rules about recreations ( fakes and replicas).
It appears ( to me) that they allow them at their discretion.Quote:

I was proposing a car of the appearance of a 1950's front engine GP car based on a sprint car chassis and an Offenhauser 252 lightweight engine. They differentiate between replicas and re-creations. A re-creation is an exact high quality reconstruction of an important car that no longer exists using materials and parts from the era. A replica is a vehicle made to look like an existing vehicle using anything that is available and fits the regulations of the class concerned. GEAR recognised re-creations but not replicas. MY project would have been simply a new car made from old parts not of the period. They did like the idea though and hoped the car got built so they could see and hear it. The Offy was in Shreveport and I had the chassis. I had to decline the offer of the Offy and the chassis went to a good home to have a 600 hp Chev put in.Quote:
