You know, with all of the discussion about tow hitches on another thread, some details on this spare tire mount may be useful:

Love the black hard top!
The spare tire (tyre) carrier is "interesting".

[mattywood]

One of the other aussies can answer about the spare tyre. Not sure how it attaches. Several cars had them as many had driven over 1000 kilometres from QLD.

The hardtop was off an ex US car imported to Oz.

The Pic of the U20 in the red 2000 with the double air cleaners is one of Lou Mondellos latest engine builds. Car has 118kw at the rear wheels.

Hi I am the winner of Victors roadster, I was not there, I will be importing the car in the next couple of months if everything goes well.
I look forward to coming along to some events after I get it registered.
The roadster will be a new experience for me, I am a Zcar guy with a project car in progress, although in the 70's I owned a couple of Sprites.
I have a lot to learn.
