Excelsior is no longer in the garden as its changed owners ,new owners removed canopy so they could get a better sun tan when roading .

Hehe! I think the tanning idea on Exi worked rather well!!
And i have to say Mr Brothwell!! If i was you and i had two dashing young girls in the bunker of my engine i would at least crack a smile !! :P :P

Fantastic rally this year!! Glad the weather stayed well!

Not wishing to start any debates, and this is just out of interest.

Does anyone know the story behind the Burrell tractor conversion?
As in when/why it was done? I have to say it does look quite pretty.

The Burrell tractor does look good.It had had me going there as their are only 2 sc tractors and both in the South island of New Zealand.I do think there was 1 in Aus with 7 foot wheels as I did see a photo when I was a Kid. Garry
