I'm hoping you or Rowan can fill in the details and histories etc of the Australian Monza's in the Monza thread just started Myles: http://www.theroaringseason.com/show...ies-And-Photos
There must have been nearly as many raced in Australia as there were in the US?
The Whincup Monza, sorry but I know nothing of its history.

Very nice images there.
Lusted after Bob Stewarts mustard Gordon Kebble for years. Rob Bartleys OSCA Cortina
Thats a car that came and went very quickly and never lived up to its potential. I think Bruce Robertson might have had some involvement with it too. Bruce was a very successful stockcar driver for many years, and raced the first Tank. He is now the promoter for the Palmerston North Speedway.
this was another interesting short lived project
Rotorua built and still around down south way i believe.
Good old days at Taupo. The original track. Jones Commodore, Brennan Escort and Willis Mazda. All Chev powered. Good racing.
Hey Rod, this last batch is fantastic! Do you have any more of Brennans Escort?
The Lancaster Volvo had some European history to it didn't it? What happened to this car? Seemed to have come and gone pretty quickly.
A few random photo's of 1980's Aust. Sports Sedans.

More great photos Timbo. What ever happened to the Mike Ceveri Chevy V8 Sierra? That car started life as one of the two OXO Supercube Group A cars in 1987, and was rolled, before it was re-appeared as Ceveri's Sports Sedan.
Mike Ceveri's Sierra is still alive and well, and up for sale if your interested.

Good old Escort wheel lifting shot,thanks to Spears for this one
I met the owner of this car recently Bob. He gave me his card, but now I can't find it anywhere. Does anyone have a contact for him? He flew over from the UK to race the car at Hampton Downs, and is very enthusiastic about it. I'm sure he'd enjoy this site.
Some shots of Eric Jordan in the day car changed colour a few times and had a different or new sponsor every race i like the beverage no breathtesting in those days
Not very good shots but history never the less

Great photos Tony, Unreal. the Pink and White commodore is a Mossman but is Jenny, she was a very good peddler. The car was actually one of the cars that Lindsay Willis built, I think this one was originally for Toms but Jenny ended up with it. Not sure but it may be the same car that Mack Workman ran later.
Thanks Rod. Corrected the name in earlier post. Now that you mention Jenny Mossman it all comes back. Yes she was a very capable steerer indeed.
Any idea who ran the Mazda in post 72 pic 4. I can not remember for the life of me. I guess beauty was in the eye of the beholder with that one.
Wow! These are absolutely magic! Thanks Tony. I never get tired of seeing these types of cars.
Whose is the black #98 Viva in post 74?
Nice shot there of Jim Short's Porsche. I just love the PDL II and Dawson Monza.
