No pics, 0 feedback, no mention of viewing or anything. I wouldnt believe this at all. I personally reckon that if it was for real he would have gone to much more efforts advertising. But if it is for real, shame on him from profiteering on brockys death...

" PETER BROCK’S ORIGINAL RACE CAR DISCOVERED
As a 12-year-old, Peter Brock’s desire to become a racing driver became closer to reality with the creation of a ‘homegrown’ 1938 Austin 7 race special for use on the family farm at Doreen.
Purchased as a road car by his father, Geoff, Peter dismayed his parents by taking an axe to the car and chopping off the body completely!
He and his father subsequently welded a steel frame onto the chassis, inserted a seat and Brock’s first ‘race car’ was a reality.
The original chassis, missing for over 40 years, was recently found stored in a roof at a Moorabbin factory and is being refurbished for display at ‘Brocky’s Big Day Out’, an annual presentation of the best in race and road cars, motorcycles, boats and trade displays at the Hurstbridge Pony Club on Sunday, 12 November.
It was recently purchased by long time Brock sponsor, RDA Brakes, and donated to the Peter Brock Foundation.
"It’s a truly amazing vehicle," reminisced Peter’s brother Lewis.
"Peter drove it everywhere around the farm with me sitting on the back, most times holding a battery!
"He definitely caught the motorsport bug as a result of that car – it was a bit like a 1950s style of go-kart. It’s where he learnt his early race craft as the thing had no brakes – Peter would have to throw it into a huge slide just to stop it!"
The Austin 7 Club is helping out with spares for volunteers to rebuild the engine and gearbox and return the vehicle into ‘original’ going condition, where it will feature at the Winton Historics next May."

I like all the comments blasting him asking if it real and the fact of him cashing in on Brocky's death.
