Paul Englands twin VW engine hill climb car
Hi
My neighbour gave me calender from John Ballantyne manufacturing http://jbms.net.au/index.htm
Each month the calendar has facts about great Australian motor racers or race cars, on the October 2010 page it mentions Paul England and how he used
to run twin VW engined hill climb car, does anybody remember this car?

Hi Craig
It would have been a handful I think, imagine trying to get both motors synchronised for corners.
I will ask Stan next time that I see him, don't want to run up the phone bill talking to him

It would certainly make a good story for VMMA, as would Heath & Christines or Ben Durie,s awesomely quick, current hillclimb cars.
