-->To add to Scott’s interesting link, here is one that covers a lot of Nevil Shute racing his XK140 in the 1950s.You can easily ‘join the dots’ and see why he based his novel around Melbourne, and the racing at Phillip Island. http://delarue.net/racing.htm MarkArdmore, NZ From: J.

Subject: Re: [Healeys] On The Beach - 1959As you’re aware, the film was based on a book of the same name by Nevile Shute. I’ve always been a great admirer of this novelist. He was plainly a very talented aero-engineer as well as being a best-selling(?) novelist.See:-https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nevil_ShuteA slightly understated biography. Rather like the man.“On The Beach” is a great book. Or try “A Town Like Alice”.Simon  Virus-free. www.avast.com_______________________________________________
