He is open to any genuine offers considering this is one of two GMPA Bob Forbes factory lightweight race shells. It's the sister car to the Janson/Perkins car.
PM me for further details

Gets the vehicle a good wide audience, the audience have the funds available thus increasing the chance of scoring a record price. And should be safe in saying that the vehicle wil be looked after by the new purchaser/collector ...

Not if they have been around these forums for awhile.some might suggest it's the only thing I know lol
You should have been a Police Detective, not only you know about the history of toranas but you can spot a flaw or bullshit story soon as you see it.
Maybe thats what makes you a GURU, knowing what is truth and whats not.

Those mags would be a bit brittle now?..Bob Forbes was going to go to LeMans and take 2 Torana hatchbacks. They were going to have turbo carged 253's at one stage with big flares. The drivers were going to be Bob Forbes, Peter Brock and Alan Grice (what a combination). Funding died and the project got canned. One car was sold to Peter janson and became his 79 car. The other was sold to a drag racer and has passed hands a few times since. Niether car was completed. It's a shame as a lot of money was poured into the project. Holden even had wheels specially cast in magnesium in Italy for the project. Bob Forbes still had them along with a few other parts up till about 10 years ago, still brand new.

It worked out the fueled used by the A9X's and the amount of fuel/stoppage etc. The A9X's would not be able to finish the race.
Forbes is a local in our part of town and a few of the old guys grew up with him, so not sure if this is a made up story or not but i'd say its come from that crowd.
