Thanks. No good collecting dust in my cupboard. May as well share with those interested.

Might just be my eyes

But is the scoop on the Seton car not as tall as the Brock car ?

Does anybody know if the breville morris torana is still in W.A.

[Ice]

Yes i thought so but wasnt sure gee i havnt seen that car for at least 25 years

[Potta]

It was at Freo motor museum but that was closed and all of the cars were sold.

As far as I am aware, most if not all of them went to York motor museum but I'm not sure because I haven't been there since.

I have a pic of it at the museum in Freo somewhere.

Great pictures, you can see where the O'Brien Wigston car had a diff leak.

One of the Morris cars is in the York museum, the other is owned by the Hinton family. The car that raced Bathurst 79 is the Hinton car.

The Seton car dropped off the radar about 25 years ago when it was around Wagga. It was still all painted up back then.

Any better photos of the black HJ (or possibly HX base) van behind 05?

after alex managed to borrow it from peter briggs
and had it at home over his pit
very original car and very very battered underneath
all bolts that i could see were wired together
like we did on the loco engines at westrail
when i did my apprenticeship!
was very impressive

Thats a while ago, when they put the engine into the road car and Lowndes and Murphy took them out for a bash at Wanaroo

don't know a great deal about that but alex had a 355 stroker in his chamois hatch that
more than kept pace with the rebuilt negus no 4 that paul kramer had
maybe even faster over the hill at wanneroo!
and all with standard brakes!
brave man that alex
or stupid?
great car that one at the york motor museum

Easy Dave,

Just use the Persons request Key words in Google, and in this case, a thread had been done about it. Dave I

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?

Didn't he have some stupid Porsche Brembo calipers on the chamois hatch for awhile ?
