Hello all,
I am beginning the restoration of a Palliser WDF4 (WDF4-73-007) Formula
Ford. I'm keen to restore it to as near as original as practical.
As far as I can tell it's had some modifications over the years. I'm
reasonably confident that the mechanicals are mostly original, however,
it has been converted to a side-radiator configuration and the original
bodywork has been replaced. What once was an attractive car is a little
ugly and sad now 8-<
I'd like to correspond with anyone who has this model or can supply any
info, original technical specifications and photographs would be
excellent. Original body moulds anyone?
I spoke to the original owner some years back who said he had bought the
car as a kit of parts from the US (around '74/75). This ties in with the
info I've received from Renny Watt at the Winkelmann Register. The
original owner, by the way was a Barry Green, ex Australian and (from
memory) at the time an Indy car team manager. There can't be too many
Barry Green's involved with Indy *and* Australian 8-> So I'm almost
positive that the Barry Green I'm looking for is the owner of Team KOOL
Green. I'd appreciate any ideas on how I can get in touch.
Thanks in advance for your time,
Steve Gibson
