Another era gone, a definite legend in Australian motor sport & big reason we have the "hot" cars of the 1970's

I believe Harry and co won Bathurst in 1967 driving the 67 XR falcon gt.
Which our family has one of the 150 made in our garage
This Gt started the proceedings that led to the phase 3 monster.
I managed to chat at the last muscle car masters at eastern creek
with Harry and snapped a pic and gave his signed poster  to hold with our car.
Where do you start with this great Australian..sadly missed
