Some weird stuff on that SFC. Seat, front discs ... I thought they had to be 100% orig! You'd never sell it like that

The green and white bike beside the SFC looks like Dave Moore's 125 Morbidelli. Last seen in Mike Pero's small museum in ChCh about 8 months ago....
Prior to coming back over here for an anniversary Sound of Thunder it'd been in the National Museum at Bathurst for some years.
A couple of those Bimotas are owned by a mate of mine. The SFC could well be the one Paul Dyas built up. Note the ex Crosby/Gordon Pantall Z1 in the background

Yeah. Not sure if it's the original or a Croz built replica.

A few racebikes from the two museums. Some TZ-350’s, a TZ- 750 and an RG-500? Suzuki, finally a more modern Yamaha raced by Karel Pavich

The TZ750 and RG500 were part of a shipment of old race bikes found in Japan by John Beck -a car dealer. 2 TZ750's,2 RG500's and a 750 Moriwaki F1 honda. He kept an RG500 and got very good prices for the others.
He's Invercargill based but his son lives in the flat behind me in ChCh.

Ally V8, was a good motor shame about the rest of the car. Could fit a 44gal drum in the boot.
That V8 was what Toad fitted into his Goldwing sidecar

And it was probably lighter and more powerful than that Great Wall monstrosity we've been talking about lately!

Never seen a v8 Leyland - we just got Minis & Marinas. British Leyland must have been a crazy company back in the day - the owned Innocenti as well and sold Lambretta to SIL ( Scooters India) - lot of missed opportunities .

The V8 in the Leyland P78 (36) was apparently the same as in the Rover V8, by all reports an excellent motor and probably most of those Leylands ended up bought for next to nothing due to their reputation, purely for their engines.

The Rover V8 was an American Oldsmobile engine sold to Rover. The Brits back in that era ware simply unable to design a successful V8 for mass production. Triumph V8 anyone?
