RECOLLECTIONS ON GOGGOS m

Dale,
Not long after flogging off the Itala in Melbourne, father decided to buy two Goggos - a dart and the almost pretty coupe (double lunacy).
The coupe was purchased first in a semi disassembled state - some idiot had cut through the main wiring loom, which wasn't a major problem for a normal car, however, this particular model had an electric solenoid actuated gearchange (little knob/gate on the dash triggering a very quick gear change by virtue of a motorcycle type constant mesh box).I recall father spending an interesting morning sorting out the gearchange wiring ie switching on the indicators and the car changing gear etc!

The dart was a big hit on the air base (except with the CO) - as it was the only car on which could slip under the boom gate without the driver taking his hat off!

Brett
