Hey

"Had a good mate Owen Williman"
Did Owen happen to live at Toongabbie in western Sydney?
Yep ... You obviously knew him too
I met him in 1981/2 when I had a 1963 Lotus Cortina ! one of many as I have been lucky to have had 5 over the years prior.
I even have a picture of him at Silverdale in 1984/5 where he beat me by 3 seconds. But Amaroo H/Climb he did a 26.95 and I did a 26.98.
Sold the L/C to Tony Ward - Phil Ward Turbo blokes brother, in 1987.
He sold it on to a guy in VIC who apparently spent heaps. So sad the day I sold it. Had original log book and all the right bits. Even the wheel hub cap locators had the correct date stamp. They were in the boot when I imported it, as it had " Real magnesium Minilites "
Funny how you remember things ( I have the worst memory too )
Chassis number was either as I remember Z74C065798C or maybe E on the end.
Was a March 63 car with engine number LP206 !!
Was always going to get Owen to put some L1's in it and port sort the head etc.
If I remember right, apart from the Yellow Twink he also had a Lotus Seven. Always wondered why he was a bloody school teacher !
