Brabham BT43-1 was a one-off F5000 car which I believe was eventually destroyed in an accident.

The Nissan Fairlady 432 was a Japan-only version of the Fairlady (240 Z). The engine was the S20 version of an earlier racing engine and boasted a twin OHC 2 Litre with 4 valves per cylinder, aluminium head and three twin choke carbs..and this was 30 years ago.

The 432R was the quick one..the engine was suitably tuned whilst the body shell was extensively lightened. The radio was binned but you did get full-harness belts. This version was provided with skinny steel wheels, the theory being that prospective buyers would want to fit their own favourite racing wheels/tyres..crafty !

And then they did the 434 van, with neat corrugated side panels. But no more. Mosky have finally been declared bankrupt. Tony Lanfranchi must be very upset.
