Default RE: Curry with your Irvine Sir?

A little extra.
The car is one of four built in Melbourne by Ron Kenner when he was only 27; now 74 and very active.
It ran a Norton 500, Triumph 500's and 650's. It set a standing 1/4 mile record in 1965.
With it's Brabham-style spaceframe and classic suspension it was advanced, in a time when Australia was very much to the forefront in motor racing.
I bought it as only a rusty space frame and several boxes of very rusty parts; then 18 months of rebuild.
Of course, I need constant fettling to keep it racing.
The pic shows it with mufflers. At some tracks I can run megaphones!
On methanol, it is really just a large model engine.
