Good on you Roger, it will be great to see your car run as I dont recall seeing it in the past. It would be great if we could get Alan Fergusons Marley sponsored Torana back as well. Anyone know where that car went. Apparently it was sold to Asia but was brought back here??
He sure did, it was when he first bought the car and he also had it black with JPS livery, now Mike Dias who is kindly going to run the Mustang I was forced to buy because of the slackers who were pulling out after saying they would run has painted it black and we are getting it signed up to the JPS scheme but the signwriters need some better shots, so please has anyone some good photos of the JPS car. These are the only 2 I could find on the net.
Well,bugger me. It was always green from my recollection apart from when croaky Crichton secured JPS sponsorship for the Welington and Pukekohe rounds of Nissan Mobil. Did Dick ever race it in white as I believe he only used it for two seasons prior to his Sierras arriving. A stop gap measure I think he called it.He sure did, it was when he first bought the car and he also had it black with JPS livery, now Mike Dias who is kindly going to run the Mustang I was forced to buy because of the slackers who were pulling out after saying they would run has painted it black and we are getting it signed up to the JPS scheme but the signwriters need some better shots, so please has anyone some good photos of the JPS car.

White car only practiced @ Bathurst 84, Johnson used XE for race, following year (85) mustang was green with Larry Perkins as co-driver. That is why frosty5 wont have seen it run in white.
Well done Jac mac, there arent many photos of it either. Have you finished the work on the T44 housing yet as I would like to buy 1 or maybe 2 for some projects, like a mk1V or G7-A replica and also for my Pantera Sports Sedan project as I had come to the conclusion back in 84 that the DG300 that I got with the rest of the Pederson/Radisich M18 bits that I bought off Kelvin Camerons widow wasn't going to be strong enough for an injected 366 in a car probably twice the weight of a F5000. Could I have your details please or could you send me them to George at sheweiry@slingshot.co.nz. Thanks.
Patterns/Housings still require some work yet George, like you Ive got too many projects on the go at moment & as some of those belong to other folk Im trying to get them out of the way first before creating another headache. Dont worry, I have your details & will contact you when I have some good metal bits.
Absolutely. Give my regards to Clive, met him during my time at A&G Price when he was endeavoring to sell me BOC products but unfortunately the boss had locked us into his competitor.Hey Dave, Here is the car at the end of conrod straight. the only difference is that instead of Johnson /French on the windscreen banner its going to say Sheweiry / Johnson .

Dead right Jac Mac. I crewed for Robbie & John Bowe in the Volvo from 85 and Dick's car was definitely green. 84 was the last year of Group C so missed it by a year and that's what threw me about the white car. Cheers for that info.

Here are the JPS Mustang shots that I have saved;
I think these were taken by the late Southspeed? Please correct me if i'm wrong.
And a couple more;
This one scanned from the 1986 Bathurst Program I think;
And another from when it first arrived back in aussie after the Nissan Mobil series;
Hi George, is Clive's Mustang one of the genuine DJR Mustangs or is it a replica? The photo you posted looks awesome by the way and I hope to get to HD to see it!Hey Dave, Here is the car at the end of conrod straight. the only difference is that instead of Johnson /French on the windscreen banner its going to say Sheweiry / Johnson .

Wow superford those shots are just awesome, thanks for that , now I think the signwriter will have enough shots to be able to dress the black mustang up. Yes, Clives car is a replica. He always does a good job of getting things right with good attention to detail. He did a Greenstuff falcon that he was going to run in production muscle cars but sold it when he did a stint in Australia for his job. Paul Urquhart raced it in PMS then Justin Butcher bought it from him and races it in Northern Muscle.
No worries George! - I should also have noted that the first two shots had been posted in other Roaring Season threads in the past.
I've also just found some more shots of the 1984 DJ Mustang in its white clothing - will need to scan them first, but i'll do that this afternoon. One particularly good shot from the rear so will help with the sign writing should you not already have that angle.
By the way, I love what you've done to the Sidchrome Mustang. My all time dream car and the sole reason I'm trying to get to HD next week!!
These are my shots taken at the 1986 Nissan Mobil at Pukekohe.
