Cheers for that. I thought it might have been a HJ Sandman by the headlight surrounds and grille but it doesn't have fluted guards, and looks like the front bar has been changed too so the grille and surrounds ould have easily been changed too. Looks like it has rally rims though. Looks like a bench seat, so probably a HJ or HX stocker with fancy paint and a big ding in the driver's quarter. Anyone know what car is on the trailer?
My guess is HJ, because all HX had black wiper arms.

As Red said there are 2 Morris Breville Toranas. The WA one and the Hinton owned one and one of them (but not sure which one) was the Bathurst 1977 stars and stripes car driven by Johnny Rutherford and Janet Guthrie both well known from the Indianapolis 500. If memory is correct Rutherford crashed the car early at the bottom of conrod and Guthrie didn't run any laps in the race.
I spoke to Barry Seton a couple of years ago and he told me he sold the A9X to someone he knew at the end of the season and that same person still had it.
