Title: Pic of Allen purvis's rally reek?
Post by: Gravelsandwich on Sunday, 18 October, 2009, 06:45:45 AM
Hi,
Has anybody got a picture of Allen Purvis's Repco rally Eureka? I'm sure it was a Sports, And the picture i'm thinking of is a close up from the front in black and white. You can clearly see the driver and co-driver with helmets on. It also had various sponsorship signage on it.
If i can remember the picture was in the old MSN forum under "Bruce's rally reek" or something like that?
This picture was the only other evidence that Allen produced a rear visor higher than the roof line mainly for directing air into the engine bay.

Thanks,
Liam

Thanks!
I might be wrong but i'm was sure Bruce ownes/owned the car. I think it's just painted red now.

Liam,

If this is the Reek you are talking about then it belongs to Rossco who also lives up in banana bender land and as far as I am aware he still owns it.

Enjoy the pics;

That's it! And there even a picture I didn't have. Not that I can find them at the moment anyway.

Dean, I do have some photos of your beast. Not sure if Liam passed them on or not. Do you want me to email them. or just post them up?
