From a more reliable source, I was told your car and was like every 2nd L34/A9X in Sydney, at some stage of its life it was for sale at Barry Thompson's caryard.
Thats where Tony got it from, so I doubt you would be able to find out who traded it to Barry Thompson, if he is still alive? But the guy sold more 2nd hand torana's in a year then ebay has in the last 10 years.

I'm not sure how to get hold of one of these.Try doing a electoralroll search with the names you have.
I figure it would be private information.
Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for that A9X,I will have a look.
In regards to Barry Thompson's car yard I cannot find any thing with Google search or in the white and yellow pages.
Would be fair to assume he no longer operates after all this time.
Does any one remember where his yard was?

Thank you DD.
I guess there's no where to go with this then.
I wonder what has become of him...

Look what sticker is in the back window of my A9X.
l was told by the previous owner that he thought it was some sort of Performance Engine mob and that there were a couple more cars in the Qld club that had the same sticker. Maybe my car made it way through the yard too at some point, l havent really looked into the early history of my car but it was sold new in Sydney
Good luck on the hunt.

Mondie like I said, nobody has sold more Performance cars of that era then Barry Thompson.
You think of the rarest colour combo A9X, L34, XU1 and they have all been thru that yard. If you wanted a performance car you went to Parramatta rd and there they would be in his yard.

HI, I went to a guys place in canberra in the late 80's or early 90's (First name Roy, ill get back to you on sir name) who had just painted (What I thought was a L34 from memory but could of been a A9X) in the same colour as yours. Took it to the summernats just after finishing it and sold it there. Wonder if it is the same car? any How will see if i can get more details on this Roy it you think it could be the righ one.

do you know what the number plates were when new ? ive got heaps of uniquecars magazines from 1985 to 2000. and all the torana pages are dog eared.
even if you know a month and year the first owner sold it. it may have been for
sale in uniquecars. cause if i knew that i can have a quick look for ya.

Unfortunately I don't know the rego number. NSW of course.
I can't pin point when Tony bought it either. Only guessing but it would be 1987/88 when he sold it.
Not much help I'm afraid. Could you see if Barry Thompson Performance Specialists had any adds in there for me?

I gave 02 97451000 a call for interests sake but it rung out.
Googled John Thompson and have found John Thompson Prestige Gordon. Rang them as well but they have not heard of Barry Thompson.
I appreciate you looking for me lx5008, well done.

Thought I'd give this a bump along and see if any new members may be able to help.
I am still trying to locate Barry Thompson at the moment.
Apparently he moved to Queensland and did the Celica Sunchaser conversions for a while.

Just another bump and update.
I have been able to locate and have spoken to Barry from
Barry Thompson Performance Specialists.
He has not kept any details of cars he sold unfortunately.
He operates from Queensland now. I didn't pry too much but it sounds like he is still in the vehicle industry.
The first owner of this car used to be following the show car circuit apparently. I say apparently because I am only going on what Tony the second owner has told me.
Its a lead I am currently chasing up.
Is there any one here who may remember a Flamenco Red /Chamois interior A9X sedan that was doing car shows in the early 80's ?
I know it was in Summernats but that's a different owner / era.

I have been through all the info I got when I bought this car and have found a receipt that may be from the uni student I have been chasing.
It is from the era that Roy bought the car and he says it could be the receipt for the deposit.
All I have to do is decipher the signature.
It looks to me like J Barringh--
Could it be Barringham?
That's all I can find in the white pages that is close.
Any suggestions?
