Larry ran 5:95 way back.

This thing has run way quicker these days., i think his best is a 5:50 something.
This footage is 6 years old and shows they can be driven and it is a street car, whatever that might be.
ha ha 1200 miles towing a trailer.  :cup:
No..... no challenge from me. We'll be back in the 8's in the tiny tyre class. (235/60 x 15 drag radials)

Buick going by the big wheel arches.
It does however, look very 54 Pontiac/ish on the fin shape.
Its a custom, so could be anything.

Wouldn't mind the panel  van for a spare parts and swap meet car.

Very impressive, first Mk11 Zephyr i've seen. Have seen quite a few Mk1 Z's and Mk11 Consuls though. Nice

The MK2 is a series 1, with the lesser quality dash and smaller tail lights....  in my opinion at least.
The chrome spears across the back panel are a super rare item.
Only the second time i've seen them here in Oz.

Saw this at Esk, QLD this afternoon. Based on the VW kraut wagon from back in the 70’s, the owner told me it was one of a kind as he built it himself.
