Class A, 0-2000 cc

Mike Minear
Volvo 360 GLT
Car used for a number of records trials set at Surfers Paradise in 1984. Converted to Group A for 1985 making 10 appearences over the season with Mike Minear driving. Paul Elliot partnered him for the Sandown 500, both having been part of the '84 record run at Surfers.
The Minear Volvo apparently went on to be converted into a rallycar for 1986- it appears to have still been around in the early 2000's
