RCR Australia Photos

I attended RCR Australia's Open Day last Sunday, and appreciated the friendliness and enthusiasm of the staff and visitors alike. It was great to talk to Craig, and to meet Fran who had arrived in Oz the day before.
Attached are a few of the pics I took on the day.

Wow! What a great showing of auto-art! The red SL-C will have Ferrari owners scratching their heads wondering what model is that?
 
A few more shots of interest.

Photos of Interest.... A bit of an understatement there Dalton.
That looks like Bill D's old car (as has been hinted at previously). Also, is that a Lusso fibreglass body?
Great photos, post more if you have them please.

I'm on the verge of touching myself inappropriatel
Most of the steering wheels are on the wrong side guys, ya'll might wanna fix that before final delivery!!

Great looking shop guys. Looks like ya'll had a great time!
 
Dalton,

what kind of shifter is that in the 4th photo from the 12:32 PM posting? Looks like the interior of the SLC.
 
Thanks Dalton!
That black SLC appears to be a high quality road finish car, I have not yet seen a road version with a higher level of finish than this example. Is it a complete car? (I cannot tell from the pics). Do you have any more to share of this car?

:p
 
Nice spread. I too would love to see more pics of the black car, particularly of the interior if you have any :)

Is this a Mendeola transaxle?

When I get back to my home PC (I'm at work) I'll post some more photos.
Tom, the shifter is related to an Albins gearbox, which seems to have a cyclic power shift. On the floor nearby is a plate which mounts in the steering wheel to give button controlled shifts.
The black SLC is not registered, but appeared very complete. The doors stay open on gas struts, the front can be raised 50mm at the touch of a cockpit button by hydraulic pistons integrated into the front shock absorbers. I believe the intent is to obtain road registration with this car. Perhaps Craig can advise us.
The yellow GT40 out front, owned by another visitor, is a DRB. The blue GT40 inside (near the fibre glass 300SL) is a DRB with trick doors that spring out then hinge vertically upwards like a Countach.
 
The only other photos I have of the black, complete, SLC.

Some photos of the orange and blue RCR GT40 outside the factory. Apparently this had just recently been shipped out here to Oz from the US, but I don't know its provenance.

Sorry if this is getting boring, but I thought I might as well post these photos since I had taken them. Here are some random photos of the unfinished SLC's.
