GB2Aus Update#2

What a result!!!... My very good friends Sina & Sohrab got a chance to spend an entire evening with John & Barry in Tehran! I received these pictures from them yesterday, they had a great time together discussing many things. For dinner they went for some famous Kababs also! Yummy stuff! ;) It is great to see their Hunter made it all the way to Tehran, and I wish John and Barry lots of luck for the remainder of their Journey all the way to Australia!...

Special Thanks to Sian & Sohrab!!!... Daametoon Ghaarm Agha!!!...

Red Arrow

Fresh pictures from Tehran, sent to me by my friend Kamshots. I can't believe the condition of this Paykan Taxi! Kudos to the owner who has chosen to hold on to it rather than joining the sea of mediocracy full of Kia Prides & Peugeot 405s.

GB2Aus Update#1

I had an email from John & Barry, they are in Turkey now, and getting ready to cross the border into Iran this weekend! They had to stiffen the rear leaf-springs somewhere in Italy, but except that their 1968 London to Sydney Hillman Hunter replica is running like a champ!...

Good Luck to you John & Barry, Travel Safe!...

Nice try mate! But I'm afraid your hiding scheme won't work, you will be crushed sooner or later! ; (

Heavily modified Paykan Javanan. All I can say is this: BTCC be scared, be very very scared!!!... ;)

Special thanks to AmirPaykan.

Tasmanian Hunter

Dan from Tasmania has sent me these beautifully aged Polaroid pictures. I absolutely LOVE them! This is a 1968 Hillman Hunter MKI and was Dan's first car when he was 18 years old, he loved the Hunter and now regrets selling it.

A very special thanks to Dan for sharing his Tasmanian Hunter with us!

Mom Always Liked You Best

This is not a joke, believe it or not, it is an actual Chrysler advertisement for the US market. You see, Chrysler back then really tried to pitch the Sunbeam Arrow as a sophisticated European sedan. The biggest kick is that they even mentioned the devaluation of pound! At the end, as far as I could gather so far, they only managed to sell few thousands Arrows here in the US, from late 60's to early 70s.
