Muscle cars arrived in producer Veronica Fury’s life by accident. Her husband won a shiny red SS VE Commodore in a promotion, then built a special garage for the car and turned the whole man-pit into a shrine to Peter Brock.
One of Australia’s most successful motor racing drivers, Brock was a genius behind a steering wheel, who could take some crappy has-been Fifties jellybean of a car like an Austin A30, shove in a Holden engine so big it sat next to him in the cabin, and flog the thing to victory.
