Harry has always been a Holden racing legend with the great will to win races. It brings back great memories whenever I am reminded about the stories of just how Harry (even when given unsuitable parts) worked his way into making them hang together and win races. I was just reminded as to Harrys push to try to produce an A9X that was 35% lighter and 15% more power. That sparked another memory of what I thought (at the time) was some sort of scam in an advert I had read. Many many years ago (can't be sure when ..... probably late 80's early 90's) I got a hold of a unique cars or unique parts magazine looking for Torana bits (as is/was normal for me). Now its been a needle in a haystack trying to re-find that advert in my piles of old mags, but it had LX aluminium bonnets, nosecone, fenders etc for sale. Have to remember at the time no internet or great wealth of easy accessible knowledge it was all pub talk and wives tales. I remember thinking the ad was just wishful thinking .
Yet another time I should have followed through and made a phone call because they did exist and where produced. You have to wonder sometimes what if Holden had the balls to back Harry.
