Description
1955.
Paul England and his friend Paul Hickey built the Ausca in their spare time at Repco Research in Sydney Road, Brunswick. The clever, light car has a ladder frame chassis and a fibre glass body. The pair made the moulds themselves. Holden front suspension was used, England narrowing the track by cutting 6 inches out of the middle of the cross-member and a Holden rear axle casing also shortened by 3 inches, suspended by quarter elliptic springs.
Steering was by Peugeot rack and pinion, Repco subsidiary Patons provided the drum brakes. The car was powered by the very first Repco Hi-Powered cross-flow head for the ubiquitous Holden Grey Motor, the engine good for around 115bhp @5000 rpm using 2 1 3/4in SU carbs 1956. Gearbox was a Fiat 521 using straight cut gears, the car first raced late in 1955.
