Richard,
You're on the money now mate. Those were good days freezing one's butt off
in the middle of the night, a mate of mine from back home (Kevin Roben)
drove a 120Y with a L20B in some of those rally's up there but you could
help but listen to Greg & George rev the sh*t out those Stanzas, very
distinct sound to the engine they used.
Terry

I'll bow to superior knowledge Terry.
I did get the model no wrong as Luke pointed out to me today. A Violet
isn't a "610" of course. I should know as I owned 2 "610SSS's at one time.
Luke says I'm getting senile. He might be right!
I reckon this is the model that Greg Carr and George Fury drove in
consecutive Alpine Rallys around 1978- 79. If anyone still has a competitor
list they could check this out.
