1960 Pirahna-Fiat?  (This is a guess!)

Please ignore that post - I've found out it was rear-engined!

It looks like it was built for Formula Junior races, and Australia was one of the first places where they were built. The exhaust suggests a Fiat engine - could it be the Lambkin?

 ;D. I have looked on every site I know, and I can't find this one.

I know Wally Higgs built a front-engined car around 1960 but I can't find a photo of it - is this the Higgs car, which had a Peugeot engine?

It's Sideways Sid Howard's Supercharged Nota with a 1500 MG XPEG engine. It raced in the 61-62 period and reputedly beat Moss and Brabham to the first corner in a Warwick farm Tasman race - in the wet.

That explains the SU carb!  I'd convinced myself it was an FJ - that'll teach me. Well solved TT.
