rosco01 Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Hi all, Love to get in to see this.... Jack Brabham's BT-19..... It's on display at the Ian Potter centre, NGV for a short while.... along with a number of other Australian vehicles. Think the display theme is along the lines of our motoring history... Check before going - I only caught the tail end of the report on the news (is there anything else worthy to watch these days on the idiot box? save the odd documentary). frats, Rosco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosco01 Posted April 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Folk - if you can get into the city and take this in - it will be worth every effort.... The little car is on the right as you pass through the doors.... Cost to enter is $15... but, if you are an RACV member - it's $11. You can't climb onto anything - but you can get right up close - no barriers or ropes. You can't see in from the left side of the car because it has a wall behind it. As a modeller - my camera card took some time to make room.... I deleted an awful lot of previous pix/movies... and just shot, shot, and shot... I believe I have every visible nut, bolt, rod and panel that I could get.... There is a bit of a blurb about the car on a small board to the left of it. In the background, there is a wall of screens showing footage of many historic motoring events... The Holden Efigy is out front (in the gallery). There is an XB coupe, an E-39 Charger and a HQ two door GTS in one section with the "Bathurst" circuit in the background. Some of the movie footage on the wall of screens shows Jack B, Graham H and Denny H running ... along with Peter B and some very old b/w footage of Bathurst..... including a spectacular roll of a "humpy" coming down through the esses... plus Murray Carter's damage to the front right of his HO-3. The little Molina Monza Special used in the movie "on the beach" is there... along with a Cooper powered Elfin streamliner. There's a quad cam Repco F1 engine up on a stand.... I rolled off a film on that one alone.... But, to come up so close and personal with the BT-19 of 1966 fame... all on my own with only a security guard quite some distance off watching me.. was an experience to behold..... hope to put a few pix up here later on.... off to bed... head has really had a work out today.... emotion - wow! another wonderful experience in this journey through life we are so fortunate to be blessed with.... Pix will be here in this thread... only a dozen or so chosen ones.... mainly the BT-19 frats, Rosco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
