Monaro Motors , Melbourne ??

[Rusty EK]

Found this at the swap meet on the weekend , anybody know the story behind Monaro motors ?

Havent really gave much thought to where all the early speed equipment came from , were they just a small foundry making car only bits , or was it just a sideline for them ?

Gave it a bit of a clean up , will tidy up ok .

Sell it to me please.

Blue haze, a forum member had a red motor twin SU manifold with Monaro on it aswell, first I had heard of them, yours is the second.

'THE MONARO CONVERSION

Sorry wot , it has a date with the only good bit that came off my ute , the engine , runs like a pearler , and going into the pink sedan .

I found a bit of info about them doing Morris parts , I suppose they did other makes as they saw the need , looks like they have been around for a while .

Thanks for the info steve , found another one on ebay as well

[wot179]

No harm in trying.

I kinda collect vintage Holden manifolds and rocker covers,the variation seems endless and the collection is getting out of control.

The one Steve listed is too much for me,but thanks for posting it up.

only worth 80 tops

[Dakam]

Thought I had seen this before. I've got a programme from the 1960 Melbourne Motor Show, where Monaro Motors had an ad..........
