Russell Kramer now lives in Brisbane and fabricates and assists the Smith Rover team.
Most parts from the XW Falcon made their way into the space framed XD Falcon that Russell raced for some years before crashing at Oran Park. It was the first XD Falcon to race ever as Russell had backing from a Ford dealer at the time. The car was repaired and rebodied to EA Falcon and sat around for a while before Phil Crompton purchased it from Russell in 1994. It became the Pacific Performance EB Falcon that won Qld sate C'ship in 1995. He raced for about 8 years mainly in the National series and that car was crashed at Mallala in 2003. Some parts from that car made their way into the transam Mustang that Phil races now. Believe it or not there is a relationship between the Kramer XY and the Crompton Mustang Trans-am....however slight!

The badly bent Falcon space frame chassis became a resident at Sims Metal (probably now part of a Hyundai) with all the body molds gifted to the Donnolly's who run same body shape as the Kramer made Falcon EB.

Does anyone know the whereabouts (or anything about) this Mercedes?
Incredible looking car. It was for sale in 2003.

I remember at the time it was in Auto Action it caught my eye. 08 numbers I think are SA, WA & NT. Could Barry of been Barry Lock perhaps?

the merc is still in Perth owned by the same bloke.

car was built for a merc v8 but ran out of funds.

car is still brand new and just needs an engine to race.

someone should buy it and race it.

think his name was Barry Keene?
