In this episode of Classic Restos, Fletch explores the enduring legacy of Peter Brock’s legendary first race car, by tracking down an incredible 1956 Austin A30 replica.
First & main in this episode, Bruce Shaw takes Fletch to Fitzy’s Fabrication workshop in the Sutherland Shire of NSW, where the Austin A30 work is being carried out.
Fletch gets a first-hand look at the massive engineering challenges of modifying a tiny British classic to handle Aussie motorsport DNA, powered by a healthy 12 Port, Holden 202.
Fletch then incorporates Peter Curran from Junee in NSW to spotlight his 1956 Austin A30 Peter Brock replica car.
By contrasting Bruce’s bare-metal mock-up, with Peter’s near completed masterpiece, this episode celebrates the passion, sweat, and fabricator magic required to keep “King of the Mountain” folklore alive, in tribute to the late Peter Brock.
