Its a shame they are looking to sell the car as it will probably be DJR's last championship winning car (wish it werent so but it looks that way).

It is an Expression of Interest, so they don't exactly have to sell the car. Could just be a value estimating exercise by the team to add to the asset base.
Then again, with Beam pulling out, good chances there's a hole in the budget that needs to be filled by the sale of this car, or it wasn't a nice bust up between Beam and Dick so he wants everything gone..... |

If it is a genuine attempt to sell the car then things must be pretty desperate for DJ as i can't believe that he would want to sell the weapon that brought him his one bright light and sense of accomplishment in an otherwise very ordinary period for results.
JC should put his hand in his pocket ? |

Can't wait to destroy everyone in the Kumho series in that.

Read the ad closely and you see the car is yet to be restored... So... a punter rocks up with his/her $450,000 and work commences

Why not buy it in a rebuilt state, and race it in DVS?
A bit too new to mothball for sentimental reasons in my opinion. |

Man you guys jump to all kinds of conclusions!!!
As I read it, it was the championship winning car in 2010, and James Moffet's car for 2011 in JB colours and 2012 in yellow / black Norton colours ( and Tru Blu at Bathurst ). The car will no longer be eligible next year with the introduction of CoTF, so they are advertising it for sale and it will be restored back to 2012 JB colours at the conclusion of this years' championship. Pretty simple really, and pretty logical from the teams' point of view - old car no longer eligible but still worth a chuck so flog it to the highest bidder. |

I'm sure some cashed up, Courtney loving fan will buy it, but with probably a proviso in the contract that says DJR can call up any time and ask for the car back for promotional reasons or display it long term in the workshop. |

Unless I missed something, this 'car' is actually a gutted shell, the bits and pieces of interest made it into the previously unused FG shell which Mr Moffat is now running in Norton colours
So.. the ad saying the car will be restored when someone wants to buy it likely means the team has to source new bits to finish the resto job Not saying its good or bad, but unless I missed something, the 'car' is currently incomplete.. |
