Phil, this is the one that was bought fram Frasers , one of six  I was told
brought in  to Oz back then. As a 600 in won the F2 australian titls . It
was raced and modified mid to till late 80's in WA by Herb Watson, with a
lot of success and many times beating Brook Henry's  creations. It's well
known over there  especially among those who watched the may battles it
fought.
The mechanic was  Mike Turner.

I'm in South Australia amd have owned it since then.
