It's actually a repeat of the story run a year or so ago. When I saw it come up again I thought the worst ... fortunately wrongly.
I never met a horsepower I didn't like (thanks bwob)

Maybe that's why I can't find it on Iview.

Not on iview but you can watch the whole thing from the ABC website.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

From August 2009, for the 50th anniversary of Sir Jack's first World Championship (after pushing the car over the line at Sebring, to learn he'd won the championship).

Here's the transcript from that link. http://www.abc.net.au/austory/content/2007/s2659460.htm

To be fair, when I posted the iview link, the ABC website had a comment on it saying that the full episode was available on iview. They've obviously updated it soon afterwards and now the full episode is on the Australian Story webpage.
