On the finish podium, George Shephard said the drivers thought they could bring the cars home 1-2-3. His reply was "you do that and I'll drop me daks on the podium." Well they did and so did he. On the Podium, he whipped a pair of shorts from his waistband and dropped them on the floor!

Well, I guess we lowered the average cost. All preparation and all running costs for our Civic #117, was about $8,000. 2 man crew and zero service crew, Just us and whatever we carried. We were aiming simply to make it back to Melbourne and that is what we did. The bonus was we didn't come last! We were the smallest capacity car to finish, 1235cc, and came 87th of 92 finishers. The down side was we hardly remember any of it. We were simply exhausted for about 13 of the 14 days. Must have been young and crazy. 4 flat tyres, a broken speedo cable and a blocked fuel filter were our ONLY mechanical issues.

The toughest rally I have ever seen, and I have attended many of the world rally championship rallies in the 70s as part of a film crew. I hate to think how much the factory teams must have spent on recceing and all the other costs associated with the event - but I admire the privateers most.

Great stuff ! gold. I had a VB and VC Comm both were 202 engines. They were both the same color as this car and had driving lights just like this car lol. and you could take them almost anywhere unlike todays modern cars with their big rims and low ground clearance. I cant u/stand why they chose a 4 cyl for this trip but it did the job well by looks of it.

Nice to see railways built BEFORE homes were built to encourage homes to be built , unlike these days. These photos make me realise how much I hate crowded cities. Beautiful homes in a beautiful landscape.
