Any idea on the going rate of a fang? Looks a hell of a lot easier to get registered than a caterham and about as quick.

I think I went to the Nota "factory in 1965 or 1966. I think they tuned a set of twin carbies on a Morris Major Elite.

Was it a wooden older style of workshop that backed onto the upper reaches of the Parramatta river - west of the weir. ??? Built cars in twos and threes and did general mechanical work ???

Mike

Yep it was at the end of Smith St, near where the rivercat terminal is now.
I used to hang around the factory in the late 50s (1st year high school).

a new caterham would be alot quicker and handle better but as said.. fang is probably pretty good value for money... ive only every seen one.. by the time you find one you may have saved 50k
