Thanks Bentley - I certainly hope they're good for our health, if not for keeping money in the bank!
I was fortunate enough to meet Bob when the car was first displayed after the restoration was completed, he would've been nearing 80 at the time but travelled to quite a few major Motorsport events with the car, and evidently very happy to talk at length about it. I also spoke at length then and later to Myles Johnson, who supervised the restoration of #33 (and coincidentally had a hand in sourcing my ex-race car from Merle DuPrey, but that's another story!). I posted a thread some years ago over at Team Camaro with some of the photos I took in 2007 of the newly-debuted car at my home track, Bathurst NSW, here: https://www.camaros.net/forums/35-co...-jane-zl1.html A member kindly added a picture of the #52 ZL-1, which I hadn't seen before.
