Our esteemed Secretary Dean Bryant has always had a touch of heroic madness and a thirst for adventure. Which saw him take an ancient Land Rover Dormobile with the pop-up plastic top through the Simpson on the 50th Anniversary of the Land Rover’s first crossing – “Leaf Springs Across the Simpson”. What has this to do with historic touring cars? Under the bonnet lurked a Holden red motor that was basically an XU-1 race engine breathing through a single Weber for economy (read on!). When rebuilding the engine hot bits became available and it kinda just grew from there… It was a great adventure – here’s what he wrote on his return. Dial-fiend Deano in his element.

When he married in 1964 and had Jamo lines up in his first Healey children he sold this Healey to purchase the obligatory family car. Nineteen years later the revival of Appendix J racing fired him up and he dusted off the trusty Holden to do battle with his old mate Ken Zinner. “Jamo and I were side by side down the back straight at Calder one day. Anthony Mann and John Virgo came up to lap us in Mustangs,” says Ken, “So we parted, they went through the middle and we went back to racing door to door and stayed that way.” Jamo bought the familiar black and red Austin Healey in the mid-1980s and gradually weaned off the Holden to sprints and hillclimbs. His battle with cancer was short and his death in June took many by surprise.
