G'day Steve
Too bad you didn't have a tape recorder with you as I would love to hear
what he said.
Sadly the Scarab GP cars were outdated when they were new, however they
were technically interesting. The sports racing cars were very much a
different thing again.
Also technically interesting was when Lance Reventlow was in Australia
in the early 1960s along with one of the front -engined Scarabs. While
everyone looked at the car, many blokes just couldn't keep their eyes
off Mrs Reventlow who in other circles was known as actress Jill St John
(sigh!).

I had the pleasure of sitting next to Ak Miller for about an hour at a
wedding reception in Whittier, California in the mid-80s.
He was a friend of the bride's family, but was by himself and seemed on
the
quiet side. He said overhead cams and other exotic stuff weren't that
important compared to cubic inches. He had some interesting stories
about
working with Lance Reventlow on the Scarabs & Scarab GP car.
