Would have been nice if they got the graphics right. And the rims. And the performance. Coming onto the front straight at Wakefield was a shocker

mt panorama the asian car was never a winfield car, it was the works 91 winner.

The thing I found interesting was the number on it... If they wanted it to be a replica of the GMS/ATCC GT-Rs, it would be #1 or #2... But #6...?

Did you ever stop to think that in IPRA, the #1 would be reserved for last year's winner, and there is usually a class stalwart who keeps running #2?

Oops.. silly question

Why was it painted red then?

jc1965 · 15 Oct 2007, 00:35 (Ref:2040398)

Perhaps they have spray painters in Malaysia! Does anyone have a photo of the GMS car in Asia
It was the 91 Bathurst winner sold to Asia at the end of 91 Before the Winfield deal was done. (the 91 winner had a white cage).
The 2 Winfield cars can be accounted for, Terry Ashwood has Car 1 and Lindsay Fox has car 2.

According to the 1992 edition of Australian Motor Racing Year, the 1991 Bathurst-winner was driven through the early part of the 1992 ATCC, with a new car being built up in time for the Eastern Creek round. Therefore it would have raced in Winfield livery for about five months before it went to Asia.

EDIT: As you can also see in the photos in the following post from earlier in this thread, the cage was red when it came back to Australia: http://tentenths.com/forum/showpost....&postcount=883

Yeah, that's what I thought...

Earlier in its career in Asia it still had the yellow front and rear yellow strips on it. Definately ex Winfield scheme.

A piece of history Here...

Bathurst pole sitter in the driver's rookie year....

Would need a full resto to the old colours....

If its worth $120k now.. and given the prices of the Group C & Group A cars, what will it be worth in 10 years time... when the driver may be a Sprint/Nextel cup frontrunner?

Noises can be deceiving, but not in this case. This will be the first of the Godzillas to return to the track. Terry Ashwood will bring the Richards/Skaif one out next year, brave men considering the value of the cars and the red mist that sometimes descends on other drivers in a race.

Bullett · 28 Oct 2007, 08:23 (Ref:2053061)

Will be a great race gor Group A/C...Mike Roddy bringing out the TWR XJS as well to race.

LOL...that is my friends car. Its a bitsa with soem gear on it for track days...he has a IPRA car that he runs when he doesnt have a spun big end. It is definitely not a GMS car or any other sort of race car. It was purchased cheap and is a play car

OZ_HCR32 · 29 Oct 2007, 05:55 (Ref:2053780)

Next year could be an interesting year for the series. Recent sales of the Ashwood R31 so he can drive the R32 GTR, the Sizzler R31 being handed to a sibling to drive so that he can punt Ashwoods old R31. Marklands R31 still running and the owner of the final R31 finishing a side project.

So its possible that 4 R31s could be running against two GTRs, then there is the DR30 should it find a good home. The ANZ Sierra that returned to out shores earlier this year and the final R32 GTR that returned from Asia this year with a view to running next year.

The smell of hot rice will be overpowering (said in jest), now if we could just get some unity in the categories we could be BIG.

OZ_HCR32 · 29 Oct 2007, 06:42 (Ref:2053797)

I want to buy the Caltex Sierra, but finds are obviously a problem

Hi David, I'm new to the Historic Group A scene, what is the disunity you speak of?

Probably easy to find....money might be a problem though

**GTRMagic** · 31 Oct 2007, 07:40 (Ref:2055601)

A Triumph Here

No wonder they werent the quickest things out of the box, with ~185bhp....

**GTRMagic** · 1 Nov 2007, 04:59 (Ref:2056535)

This is the one I would love to have sitting in the garage

Here

Wonder how much Mr Richards wants for it...

Sultan · 1 Nov 2007, 06:21 (Ref:2056551)

I thought he was converting it to JPS specs & racing it?
