Here is s series of buggy images I was given by a chap I meet with an old J&S. Have a look at his $200 Porsche Speedster as well. He did a bit of
racing and hillclimbing at a track in Sydney, anyone recognise it?
there awesome pics , love old pics
And a few more...
they top pics
priceless!
That's some way cool retro buggy action!
Can I get a bigger copy of some of the photos?
Yeah no problem, I'll email you them. Just let me know which ones. I've also got a series of newspaper clippings from the building of his buggy,
and the original instructions for building the J&S (scan). Plus lots more on the race track.
cheers

Nice, thats a great score.
I think thats a pic of me in the back seat of that buggy out at Kurnell sand dunes which dont exist anymore
Very cool old pics
Ouch d poor buggy that did a nose dive ..... how did u get it out of that position?
It never changes-what a bloke will do to impress a couple of honies in bikinis.Looks like the wrong bloke's got the helmet on though.They are great old photos.Imagine being allowed to blast around sand hills like that now-much less in a floorpan with no protection.Ah the good old days.
How cool !............looks like the hillclimb at Amaroo Park ??
Ya gotta love the $200 Porsche Speedster!!!!!
hey peter,
can you email me all those pics as well.
what was the guy's name?
might be a guy I know,
he had a 1835 turbo engine in a J&S and told me he did 100mph plus along pittwater road.
Give wrx drivers a shock these days.
BTW, it had 4 wheel drums,
can you say scary?:duh
the green buggy looks like a taipan buggy. WA built things
Speed-Racer Style!
How things have changed....
The green buggy is an early J&S. Before the bonnet got ugly :puke
The guys name is Angus, and still has the buggy. Used to have a 356 engine in it at one stage. When he blew that up a mate (one of the Hamiltons) said
he could have an Carrera 4 cam motor to replace it, he had a couple sitting in his shed! One sold on ebay for $92K USD just recently.
He also has the later bonnet as well.

The J&S looks awsome with the flat bonnet:bounce
and $200 for a speedster.
Anyone want to sell me one for $200 bucks
He sold it for $200 after lots of use, and then the bloke he sold it too gave it away for $50.:bounce
:duh:cussing:cussing:o
WHERE'S MINE.
I want a $50 porsche now. Please, please, please
The green buggy looks just like my Taipan. Would that be the mould that the Taipan got from J&S in the early days?
