Thanks Retro for posting that article.
Would be nice if someone did a biography on him. Don't know if one exists? I coulda swore that Australian Muscle Car had mentioned months ago they had planned on doing a feature on him. |

There's a great appreciation of Frank's life out there somewhere, which I'll post as soon as I can rediscover it!

What an amazing gentleman,gifted race driver and engineer, just
finished reading the tribute in Australian Motor Racing Magazine. Always remember the Corvair and then his association with BMW in Australia, but what he achieved overseas was absolutely amazing. |
