indeed. Excerpts from an article:
Murray Frew has a big red rowdy mystery on his hands, but he is determined to solve it. The former Windsor man, now retired to Ashburton, bought the Special about six years ago when he saw it advertised from a Kaikoura private collection. He was the only one who phoned about it. Little was known about the car's early history. It was built in 1929, has a Chrysler flathead six (P25) engine and it was obvious from the design the Special was originally designed for dirt track speedway, pretty much the only car racing available before World War 2. Over the years, it has had bits added and removed and undergone design changes. In typical Kiwi fashion, a mixture of bits has been used to make it up, including two kitchen sinks bolted together to make the fuel tank behind the single seat. The radiator is from a David Brown tractor and the front axle from a 1934 Dodge.
