Equus Godhead Bonzer
Friend of Surfy Surfy Mark buys and sells lots of unique vintage surfboards. A couple of years ago he came across this incredible Campbell Brothers Bonzer Light Vehicle. Glassed and airbrushed by one of the original Bonzer test pilots Cliff Collinge. It’s a safe guess the art is a tribute to the famous 1973 play or 1977 film adaption of Equus (I confess to have never seen Equus and knew little about it before looking up the linked Wikipedia page. The story sounds a bit creepy but I am digging the equine godhead theme art).
