Phil Pearmain MK 1 Jaguar #28

Looking forward to this event. I have competed in motorsport for some 40 years initially club rallying and raced with the HTCAV now for nearly 10 years but never had the chance due to schedules and family issues to run at this event.

It's one of only a few running in Australia but so very popular in Europe. It does not have the cubes of a Mk2 but I will be giving it a go with all the Cortinia's scheduled to enter. I have changed the colour of the car during the Covid 19 lock up so this will be it first outing in green/silver (yea I know original for a Jag ha ha).

FOR SALE Prad Mk 3 Repco Holden

This is the 3rd car built by Jack Pryor and Clive Adams and was apparently modelled of the Stan Coffey Cooper Bristol that Clive had driven on occasion. It as completely restored for me by Paul Trevethan in Melbourne and debuted at Winton in 2007 and has been running at the pointy end of Group Lb fields ever since. This Prad runs a fully worked 6 cylinder grey Holden motor fitted with a very rare Phil Irving Repco High Power cross flow head, which is mated to a 4speed Borgward transaxle. No expense spared and all development and maintenance has been carried out by Michael Vigneron from Highland Race and Classic. Current log book and C of D. Far too much detail about Prad 3 to list here but you can inspect in the pits this weekend at garage 22 where I’m more than happy to share all details with anyone interested in competing in a front running pre-60 classic.

The Mighty Roadmaster, built in 1934, made its first appearance for a while at the 2021 Austin 7 Club's annual Historic Winton. It was driven by Repco employee and VHRR member Abby Wingett and I’ve included below her description of the car and a little of its history. As you’ll see most of the components date back over 100 years though it was constructed and first used in 1934. Abby’s description of the Roadmaster follows ~ “The Mighty Roadmaster - 1909 Model T Ford chassis that has been cut down. It runs a 1923 Alvis engine, with direct drive and no gearbox, the body is all hand built and is running a Rolls Royce windscreen. Was made in 1934 from the spare parts listed above, 4 cylinders. Engine capacity is 1496cc. Cameron MacMillan and Rob Rowe were given the Roadmaster midget speedcar in 1976 by a beaut bloke named Tony Toohey, from Joadja in the southern highlands. The Roadmaster is the oldest midget speedcar in Australia and was built for Bill Allen, the man that introduced midget speedcar racing to the southern hemisphere. The first Midget speedcar season started at Olympic Park in Melbourne on 15th December 1934: Bill Allen and the Roadmaster were there.”

What an interesting car, and how fabulous it was to see it again at Winton! And consider this; the first time 20 year old Abby had seen the car, let along sat in it was at Winton, a track she had driven around only briefly in a Mini. What Abby failed to mention in her description was that apart from having only one gear it has only rear brakes actuated by an external lever. The clutch also by an external lever, and the only “pedal” is the accelerator. And , though not entirely exceptional in early historic cars, the fuel has to be pumped to get pressure via a hand pump on the left. Also for easy access the steering wheel is removable! (As per current F1!). Yet Abby not only managed all of this in practice and in the 3 regularity events but passed a few of the slower cars in the process! What an amazing example to set and an inspiration for the VHRR and other state historic racing clubs to encourage more young competitors into the sport. Abby’s uncle, Jason Wingett, races the Repco Holden JR1 and is a member of the HSRCA. Nigel Tait
