One of 2 Sierras
Haven't seen one of these for a long time... suspect it was last on the Mountain. Incredible car for their day - giant killers like the earlier Minis and later Skyline.
Needs it's front wheel arch moulds checked though

Looks like a great day Blacky, fair turnout cheers for the pics... has been a big couple of weekends for the west oz crew. Was hoping to get there on Saturday but looks like kids sports might foil me again ffs
We had a Pug 404. Excellent drive. Torquey under tuned motor I would think ripe for hotting up a bit. Massive drum brakes were very effective. Would you believe at that time 15" tyres were uncommon? Michelin or the cheaper Semperit were the choices. Unconventional rear drive and suspension setup with rigid axle and drive shaft, no rear uni. Worm drive pinion gear. Rose joint at the gearbox output. I had the box out twice. Rusty as f¿?k but very comfy. Assembled in Melbourne, was a 1962.

I have a Hilborn injection set that was ordered for one of those motors, for a speedcar. It will have it's next life in the FB on a grey
