In there was two old fords, a 41 and a 34 Tudor, both flathead powered,the 34 was LH drive,, they had been on a rally from Peking to Paris,my 33 looked fragile next to them!as they had big tyres roll bars and competition seats, There were two huge old Bentley’s as well, We are off to Ayers Rock on Thursday,just a short 1000klm round trip.

Re: Old ford out west
Where's the photos of the 34 tudor and other cars? I like the signwriting on the back of the XY. No roo bars? I thought they'd be compulsory outback

Re: Old ford out west
You’re living the dream Lawrie .We spotted the 35 remains a few weeks ago on a trip to Broome via Darwin , also had a look around the truck museum at Winton where there was several old flathead trucks . The Chrysler roadster is a really well sorted car , it belongs to Bruce Washington from down here in the South Island . He and his son won the Peking to Paris in 2016 , vintage and over all . Enjoy your time in Alice Springs
