Do I spy a recirculating dump valve being used without the recirculating hose? Bet that would've surprised Tim Harvey! Great pics, what relics

i have seen pictures of ian gardens car,
he did the old version of whot i do now which is the ford saloons,
i considered buying it to build another car for racing,
as it was basicly a shell,
but in the end decided it needed to much work and the only parts left that where group A was the rear beam, as the owner was going to rally the car so sold all the good bits off.

Honestly, a truly remarkable collection of cars.
Was one of the highlights of any National Day for me, and I think you should be applauded for your efforts in organising such a special display.

on the rouse built cars there are four coolers under the cars two for engine oil, one for the diff with an electric pump and one for the gearbox,
on the eggenburger car there are two colers under the car, one for the diff again on an electric pump and then the gearbox cooler,
it when used two oil coolers one each side behind the front grilles next to the indicators.
i have ended up with a few spare lol

the cars i own are,
the labatts car
eggenburgr car
ANZ car
so three in total,
with so many cars i have amassed qiute a few spares for them aswell,
the clutch pictured lloks fine and will fit the getrag box,
i use the same one but mine has six paddle pits instead of four but that will still work fine.
i do have a new four paddle one like the pictured that i was give, and a spare complete clutch but thats another storie.
