Jeff Carter’s stagey portrait of late 60s mod surfdom puts an oddly British spin on Sydney beach culture…in fact the roof racked mini deluxe made a few notable screen and print appearances around the time, most memorably in the opening bush bashing sequences to Bob Evan’s 1967 movie High on Cool Wave, alongside a mighty Morris 1100.
