Linsey Griffin's
black rotary convertible
We think that this
is the Hot Rotary Morris Minor Convertible that was
built by Peter Todd
from Mentone Smash Repairs in the late '70's.
MMCCV Inc. founding
member David "Pretty Boy" Floyd described
(at a MMCCV club
meeting) having a ride in this vehicle at the illegal
drags in the Melbourne
suburb of Dandenong one Saturday night in
1978/79..... Richard
Milligan has met Peter Todd, who described the
car in detail to
Richard at the time. Richard has since had a good
look at this Morrie
and is sure that this is the same car!
It has a 12A Mazda
Rotary motor with 5 speed g/box, complete
Marina front end
(incl. Marina discs & rack) and Marina rear
end with telescopic
shockers all round.
Previous owner Joe
Aquilina, keep this car under wraps for about
20 years, and it
(unfortunately) rarely saw the light of day.
Linsey purchased
this Morrie from Joe in 2006 and has since spent
a lot of time and
money getting it back on the road on Club Plates.
Linsey and his wife
are attending lots of events, including Hot Rod
Club Cruz Nights
and displays.
