Australian veteran car rally tale from Tarrant period

The fragmentously garbled report describes a 1972 veteran car rally involving a first Australian car linked to a Tarrant company and a named vehicle built in Melbourne. It mentions the Tarrant Major and Engineering Company, various figures, and a Colonel Harley associated with a car, in a muddled account of early Australian automotive experimentation and success.

Latter-day Bugatti Mania Fueled by One Collector's Dream

A devoted Bugatti aficionado in Woodridge, Mr Ralph Walneck, plans a kit built version of the famed model 38. He aims to create a low cost, non factory replica costing around 800 pounds, driven by his own engine and assembled with spare parts. The project reflects a passion for classic cars and the belief that true Bugatti artistry can be affordable.
