Australian Midget Racers


Recommended Posts

Thought I'd share some pics of some historic Australian Midgets built by Andrew H, who is passionate about these cars, and who owns Jack Brabham's first race car.

They may not be of the picture perfect examples that are usually shown on here, but I think they are pretty interesting just the same.
