Also....Tassie's Bruce Gowans got his old McCormack built Toyota Celica Repco V8 back a couple of years ago or so.
Some work has been done and an engine sourced I've heard.
I'm interested as well. I've got 10" & 13" centres that I was going to copy via CNC if I can find somone to do it at a reasonable price. The original centers were cast. I've just had some new rear rims spun up in 6061 Al by Whitehorse Industries in Melb. Manager Craig was very helpful. I'm saving up at the moment to get some new dies made for the correct offset for the front wheels.
nice collection

Hey those models are cool Bondy. Whose is the HQ Monaro supposed to be? Is that a TCM car?
I am racinging the EX Terry Corbett MK1 Ford Escort in Qld. (I have a group U log book issued for it) Only one of about three (3) that has the CAMS log book isssued.
This car raced in Qld from 1983 till the present. The o'l girl is still going around ok.

Nice one Bry, that was cool. Some real classic Sports Sedans in that field. The old Geoghegan Monaro looks monstrous in comparison to the newer machinery. Was the Bob Tindall Torana the same car raced previously by Garry Rogers? I think the Neil Brain Monza might be the car now owned by Rowan Harman??? And wasn't the old Amaroo Park a neat layout.
Thanks Bry. I'm sure you're right. Thinking about it now, I have a copy of a 1982 Aussie motorsport annual somewhere and the Tindall Torana has larger versions of what look like Group C flares on the car, so these box flares must have come later. The Rogers car already had the box flares well before 1982.
good thread here on the Torana's

A perfect gentleman? ;)
Bob Tindall's Torana was his own creation. The Rogers car went to Robin Dougherty, then the Lusty's and then Ceverie.
The Neil Brain Monza featured is in fact the ex-Moffat DeKon 1005. Brain (and a partner) bought it off Paul Jones who had bought it off Moffat. Brain crashed it at Amaroo and it then went to John Tesoriero, patched and has since gone to the US where it is awaiting resto.
The Rogers car in the hands of Robin Doherty,

Thanks for those pics timbo. So what happened to those two Torana's? Does anyone know their whereabouts, or did the Tindal car become his Commodore?
Tony Hubbard raced a black Torana hatch during the 1982 Aussie sports sedan championship. It had Group C style flares, though much bigger, and Zakspeed Capri/Escort style stripes. What happened to this car?
