But is it a one-off special?
It is indeed, yes.

Why yes, this is one of his Specials! This one had a particular nickname which I'd love to get from you and then we'll call this one solved!

Inventive bunch weren't they!

Yes it is, though sadly this is a replica of the original which was lost some time ago. Well done, the point is duly yours!

I actually was lucky enough to see this one in the flesh and in action around Bathurst back in 2006:

Since I don't mind looking stupid on an international website, do you know what that chromed metal is doing on the nearside of the car? The exhaust is on the offside (driver's side), but there is an oddly-shaped tube from front to rear of the car.

That would be the other exhaust! Very stylish out back...  ;)
