    Cherry "B"

    Someone on this site owns,or did own this classic.Loads of history that needs to be remembered.The more I learn,the less I know.I,m finding in my twighlight years that all these historical pieces need to be relived.This rod has moved on,and a new rod is being brought into play.Lots of pictures and information needed to fill in the gaps,there were not many when this was about,I believe it got 1 or 2 trophies
    Speed Freak #2 in the background,and Rob Whitwell deuce

    Yes, it`s JBs Super Prune at the 1977 NASC Nationals at Bisley, his Graffiti coupe clone and ex Roy Fystadt 5W coupe are both at the end of the line-up next to the sedan...
