Those who know him will be fully aware that Russ Duce is well and truly stuck in the ’70s – and why not? Russ has been part of our scene since that decade and, for the last six years, has been a regular sight at shows up and down the country driving Silhouette, the ’67 Camaro built by Mick Cooke, which burst into the show car scene over 40 years ago.
In 2012, Russ was instrumental in organising the ‘old show car’ display at the NSRA’s 40th anniversary Fun Run at Billing Aquadrome. Finding he had to transport more to the show than he could fit into the Camaro’s boot, he borrowed a friend’s Transit and towed Silhouette to Northampton. Not only did the Trannie provide the carrying capacity Russ needed, with an air bed in the back it also doubled up as sleeping accommodation. Recalling his vanning days in the late ’70s, that was all it took to convince Russ he needed another van in his life.
