Yup. It is an ex-Canberra car, but has a black bonnet, where Yella doesn't. Wondering why I hadn't seen it for a few years. Nearly and identical twin to Yella.

Looks unbelievable with the Neales wheels on it. Woulda been painful to retire it from road use but I guess it belongs on the track... :(

FLY AGAIN XU1 did you have any idea what you'd bought or was it during the resto that you found out the background on the car.

When i purchased the shell in 1985 i had a rough idea what the car was, with some further research it was confirmed as being BPR-01. This was confirmed further during its resto.
Today BPR-01 is owned and raced by Michael Ward.

Cheers.
