Aaargh8, I worked with the actual builder of Merv's Engine. John Alexander, who was a real speedcar talent in his earlier days.
I should have titled this post" The Good Old Days:What could have been?"
Chucky:Yes Sports Sedans could have evolved into an Antipodean Trans Am..they were evolving that way anyway.
Who knows maybe an Elfin /Birrana with
a Repco 3 Litre engine could have been sitting on the Albert Park Grid. We will never know now.
Another reason I did this post, was to make fans aware of the past and how some "New" innovations in Motorpsort have been tried before. Knowing the past helps us not to try and repeat the mistakes of a previous era.
