This car was owned by John Whiting from 1975 to 1981.

"Restored with replica VDP in 1974 by Rod Warriner. Previously had a rough boy racer body and cycle guards.

The car came to me with engine AP325 and this was replaced by 650 in 1976, after a full rebuild with new Elmdown camshaft. The engine rebuild was done by David Ripley.

The car was raced at Sandown Park, Phillip Island and Amaroo Park in Sydney.

Sold to Tom Roberts, then to Lewis Luxton before passing to Peter Shugg in WA."
