Well done Australia, you are doing a great job of looking out for each other. It won’t be long before we have this virus beaten. With all this extra time at home, we can help you update your car, or find the parts and accessories to upgrade or just get your maintenance up to date. Let’s come out of this hibernation in style. What is happening with JUST? We are relieved to say that it is business as usual. We are distributing our magazines to every corner of this great land. Our printers (IVE Group) and distributor (Ovato Distribution) are working hard to ensure that Australians have access to JUST titles throughout Supermarket, Newsagents and Service Station networks around the country. And in conjunction with AustPost, directly into homes via…

As the name suggests, Young Veterans is focussed on our younger ex-servicemen and women, offering activities, social opportunities and support – ultimately empowering them to succeed in life after their service. Founded in 2012, Young Veterans’ group of volunteers have been there for recently demobbed ADF members from all branches, regardless of where they’ve served or their length of service. Normally, the charity’s activities are focussed on the mental health and broader wellbeing of those who’ve recently served, but with the spread of COVID-19, Young Veterans have broadened their activities. With the support of Classics for a Cause, Young Veterans volunteers are preparing and supplying care packages of meals, canned food, medical supplies and toiletries for elderly Australians – not just veterans - so they don’t have to go through…

Following the electrification of a classic Beetle cabriolet last year, Volkswagen have given another classic model an electric conversion in the form of a 1966 Type 2 Microbus. Dubbed the ‘e-BULLI’ (‘Bulli’ is the German nickname for the Type 2), the electric concept is the product of a collaboration between Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles and eClassics, who developed the ‘e-Kafer’ electrified Beetle and are currently offering both electric conversion kits for Beetles and complete cars converted to electric power. Unveiled in March, the e-Bulli uses an electric drivetrain from VW’s current range, with the motor placed in the conventional engine’s compartment at the rear, while the lithium ion battery pack is placed centrally for even weight distribution. Beyond the drivetrain conversion, eClassics also upgraded the suspension, brakes, lighting, instrumentation and entertainment…

Introduced in 1962, the Cortina was Ford UK’s replacement for the Consul Classic. Over the next two decades, the Cortina went through five distinct generations before being replaced by the Sierra. For the Australian market, the first two Cortina generations were largely the same as the UK versions. But when the Mk3 Cortina – known better locally as the ‘TC’ - was released in the ’70s, Ford Australia began fitting the 200 and 250 cubic inch inline six-cylinder engines out of the Falcon to remain competitive against local rivals, whilst still offering the UK-based 1.6- and 2.0-litre four-cylinder engines. There were a number of performance variants available across the generations, including factory-built Super and GT versions, plus the iconic Lotus Cortina (produced in-house at Ford after the Mk1). While it…

Recently imported after spending most of its life in California, this car was treated to a full body-off restoration eight years ago. New chrome, new weatherstripping and body rubbers, an upgraded electric wiper motor, disc brakes, new sway bars, new control arms, etc., are on the long list of items replaced, refurbished or upgraded during the thorough restoration in the US. Running gear now consists of a rebuilt 350 V8, matched to a 700R4 auto transmission for reliable, carefree cruising, but there’s plenty of ‘go’ from this combination, too. Fifteen-inch Centerline wheels with new BFG tyres have been fitted all round. A highlight on this car is its stunning Neptune Green metallic paint - which is an authentic Chevrolet factory colour from 1955 – and complementary white roof. Impressively, the…

The idea of writing a story on Harrison 'Harry' Draper, the HTCAV’s young new champion, Rookie of The Year and Under 2 Litre Champion, seemed easier than trying to compact the decades of race history from the old and bold. He’s just a kid, right? He’s only just popped onto the scene, yes? How much could there be? But it didn’t take long for a story to evolve of a young man who must never be underestimated… TRAINING WHEELS Twenty-two isn’t young for a driver these days and like so many of today’s F1 stars, Harry has history. Unlike the F1 wunderkinder, however, his story doesn’t contain years of topline karting. Young ’Arry was astride a dirt bike from the time he could walk, giving him a fine sense of…

One of the most iconic car brand names ever created was MG – Morris Garages – based in the city of Oxford initially, and later moved to the nearby town of Abingdon where they stayed until Lord Stokes made the regrettable decision to close it down! One of the nicest cars to carry the octagon MG badge on its grille was the Magnette sedan designed and engineered by Gerald Palmer in the early 1950s. Palmer had returned to Nuffield from Jowett and his first assignment was to develop two new models–the Wolseley 4/44 and MG Magnette–that would share a wide range of components for manufacturing expediency. The ZA Magnette was to introduce a new level of refinement for MG enthusiasts who had a need for a family car. Built on…
