Ive been up there recently, for those that have been there in the last two
years not much has changed except for a second shed that Tony has placed
the GT's in so that in turn gave him a little more room for the Fords in the
other shed.

You cannot just turn up & have a look, you must book in a date & go as a
group or club. Usually $5 per person, money goes to P.M.H.

I could try & organise if we can go there at the end of March if enough people are interested? Will post info in WA section.

I've been told that the second shed is now finished, so some more cars have been moved in.

Some very nice gear up there, can't wait for the 27th....

I've known Tony for years as he used to sponsor me when I drag raced my XY van 1976/77, which I eventually sold to him and it's now on show

There's an article on it and pics in Vol 15 Issue 2 of Perth Street cars.
