Especially the patience. I have abandoned a few models before completion over the years.

Some of the history in that article is a bit iffy.

 

Harry Firth designed the Monaro ??

 

Peter Brock won the 1986 Bathurst 1000 ?? in a GTR-XU1.

Page 3, "Australia's own car rolled off the assembly line in 1952"

I suppose it did, but it also rolled off the assembly line between 1948 and 1951 before that. The report remains an interesting read in any event.
