Here’s the info I have from records kept by Nathan in WA. The log / register hasn’t been updated in a long time, so Ive requested an audit!

Love it!! https://youtu.be/fJsdw-pof1o

I wonder what this might reveal....

The ulitimate road test! Posted separately since I can’t find any previous threads on the famous short film. The following is a link to how the film was made. Unfortunately not in English but the smiles say it all! ;) https://youtu.be/AHn5Q15kaIA

From what I’ve heard Bob was the Australian AMG Distributor pre-merger...

We’ve lost another legend. :( And a freaky thing happened today....

Made the front cover but no article within (yet)! Looks like I’ll have to write my own....

The ACT car:

Here’s the other car from VIC:

Haha I forgot about the last one I just posted in this thread!! Oh and I have 2 cars; Dora and and a green 500SEL which has been used for parts for many years by the PO. Very unusual colour combo:

I ran into the guys that found this original pic and posted it on-line. Date stamped 17/10/1978 which is more than a month after the event. It appears to be an official MBA press release pic. I’m not sure if it was ever actually printed in the media but I’m doing more research. Apparently...

Still no evidence of the ex-Jeff Kennett car actually being there... But it is hard to imagine MBA sending only one 6.9 to demo and so it’s likely Moss actually drove Jeff’s old car, not Fangio. And I just realised it makes perfect sense considering the colour!!!

I’m beginning to think the car in the background is a W123 and not a 6.9. Victorian registration with the prefix BAB - - -

Well apparently Stirling Moss WAS there on the day and the obvious clothing difference between El Chueco & Moss was due to their country of origin! Speeds reached were 240kmh with Vic Police IN one of the cars! Here’s a pic of the Silver Arrow that was there and extremely loud..

At Holgate Brewery in Woodend. Numbers had dropped to about 10 people by 4pm. It was a long day...

Quick photo stop outside Hanging Rock after we decided to abandon the $10 per car entry fee for only a 1/2hr window.

Quick coffees in Gisborne...

4 x 6.9s attended Emu Bottom to recreate the Fangio pics:
