    Don't know my friend, I wasn't born. Lol They were actually build in England and were extremely popular from what I've read, I read they couldn't keep up with the demand and they were a very successful race car. Cheers

                They were a very successful little racing car in their day down in Australia. Thanks for the reply cheers.

                      Nice blue oval! Being from the US it sounds crazy that a mid 60s Ford had a 4 cylinder.

                        These were pretty quick little beasts. When they first started racing in Australia in the early 60's they were kicking ass my friend, just about unbeatable for a few years. The V8's struggled to keep up with them, the only thing they could do was get bigger V8's to beat them. Cheers
