It is not exactly something you would miss if you spotted it! Anyone recall seeing it?
This car was built by Rod Hadfield who owns a custom rod shop in Castlemaine, Victoria about an hour and a half from Melbourne. I did get a look at this car a few years ago and it is a pretty neat bit of gear. I thought that the car was taken to the USA and sold. I was told that Jay Leno had purchased it, although I can’t be sure of this.

Here’s the link to their site.
