smoke Searching for history circa 1971.

Posted by themadpostie at 09-08-2007 15:40
Hiya guys.

I notice not many people seem to use the forum here. For someone who has run numerous forums over the years, I thought this was a little weird.....

Anyways.... I have just purchased myself a vee, and its apparently a 1971 model or thereabouts. We have no history on her before 2000. I will be posting some links with its pre 2000 duco, and its current duco.

Car came from Bundaberg we believe... in 2000, and the previous owner has since moved to Townsville we believe.

If there's any photographic or race recorded history that you believe could be this car, please contact me on jtmiller@bluemaxx.com.au.

Links to pics will be up soon.

Thanks all.

OK, have more info. This car ran two years of racing at Lakeside at least in 1971, and 1972. It is a Jack Kato(?) Vee(JKV). 1 of 4 cars built apparently. Number 71. Hopefully someone out there has a Lakeside program from that era.

The car was originally light blue in colour, and a distinguishing feature of the car is the alloy paneling down the sides. ie.... fibreglass body only comes to top of chassis.

Pics still to come.
