Does anyone have any info on this racing VW from the early 70's I think.
The Fiat in front of it is Holden powered.

Sorry can not help.
But I recon he is about to lap him
😀
lap him??? it's holden power, so he's probly lapping him for the second time around 😀 (my guess is it's the 2nd lap too:P)
You're reading the same mag as me Pete?
What about the previous page in the sports sedan column. Something about "... VW-Chev of Brian Thompson ..."
Chris.... kombi pilot, oval dreamer... finisher #26971 2005 city to surf
That would explain the grill in the bonnet then!
Love the image on the back page.

I'm not sure which year, (I think 72 or 73) but Brian Thompson ran a black type 3 with a 350 chev in tha Australian Sports sedan champs....
Anyone wanna buy a 59 fiat 500 like the one in the top pic?

i think the type 3 had a mid-mounted chev...
I have a big car-lovin family, and most of my cousins are holden/chev fans - which means i regularly get asked "when am i gonna mid-mount a 350 in that wagon?"... ah, and offers for free coolant and radiator caps... they're so funny.

It is a 600
My 1st car was a Fiat 600 with the regular suicide doors(opened mine at 50mph as was not closed properly on the 1st day and got my 1st dent) stupid idea. That one looks like an Abarth version 850cc.volma1
They are still there, just have faith you'll find one.
Can remember my best friends brothers car, Fiat, rounded a corner and the passenger door flew open, I reached over and closed it. He was very impressed!! Is'nt that what you do when a door flies open?????
trust u to be hanging out of the car anyway...it is only a fiat remember
