LOT 6 BRAIN TEASER

What modifications appeared on every Ford Lot 6 ‘works’ race car driven by Allan Moffat that none of the ‘works’ cars ever received?

These were deliberate.

One in particular was very unique.

Requiring a major change that would still be evident in every ex-Allan Moffat GTHO that has survived today!

These Lot 6 mods have remained largely undocumented… until now.

All will be revealed in the upcoming Ford Special Vehicles: Lot 6 book.

ps those with a sharp eagle eye for detail will notice something significant in this photo.

☀️ Good morning Bulla community ☀️

With today’s heatwave conditions, Bulla CFA is on standby to help keep our community safe.

🚒 What does “standby” mean?
It means our firefighters are either based at the station or within 2 minutes of responding, ensuring we can get appliances rolling as fast as possible if an incident occurs.

🔥 Hot, dry and windy weather increases fire risk — even a small spark can escalate quickly. Being on standby allows us to respond faster and strengthen protection for local homes, families and farmland.

🕛 A follow-up post will be shared at 12pm today with an update on conditions over the next 3 days, including what this means for fire risk and community safety.

🙏 You can help us today by:
• Avoiding activities that create sparks
• Following fire restrictions
• Reporting fires early via 000

Thank you for your continued support — stay safe, stay informed, and look out for one another.
🚒❤️

Heatwave conditions have triggered a total fire ban for Melbourne, Geelong and Victoria's Wimmera, South-West and Central districts on Wednesday.

Strong north-westerly winds are expected to develop over parts of the state, in what will be a dry and hot day.

Maximum temperatures are expected to reach into their 40s in Victoria's north and south.

The CFA is reminding a total fire ban means no fire can be lit in the open air or allowed to remain alight for 24 hours.

Ford Australia's Lot 6 was sited on Mahoneys Road, just east of the Merri Creek. This will be a fascinating book, an excellent addition to anyone's library on Ford or on general motoring history in Australia.

Wishing a Merry Christmas to everyone who has supported us throughout the year, from the members of the Broadmeadows Historical Society and the volunteers of the Broadmeadows Museum.
