There was no specific event for Group U at last years event, although there were a few cars there, The ex - Colin Bond HDT Torana ran in regularity
105Angria's car..note the Group U decal on the rear window ;)
I think your right ,and i think its a historic
In reply to sports sedans being rebuilt I bought a few years ago a mk1 escort.I traced its history back to wayne sutton of south aust.I believe that it was also raced in nsw by tony herbert by photo's i've seen on the internet.I am trying to find the original style of wheels for the car which i'm not to sure what make they are.The car has a 13b rotary in it at present but in talking to wayne he sent me some photos of it with a turbo pinto motor in it.If anyone has any photos or infomation regarding this car it would be greatly appreciated.I hope to have it on the track in the near future.
got any shots roids what type of wheels are you looking for
Here is a photo off the net with the wheels I'm looking for. I believe this is Tony Herbert driving the car.Not to sure what engine it had in it at this time.I have other photos of the car as I own it and as Wayne Sutton had it.Will post them if I can get this first attempt to work.
Thats a photo I took for another website forum, I think it was on autosport.com's nostalgia forum.
At least it means I don't have to dig through my archive and find it again.
From memory, the car was running a mazda rotary engine at the time.
Its the best photo I've seen of the car so far.timbo have you got any more in your archives? Do you have any other info like when,where, etc that would help me? Or if anyone else has info it would help be great
Wheels are Rebels. Where made in Sydney.

Ok went to the VHRR wednesday lunch and joined the club,with a view to sound out the where we can run our group U sport sedans in Vic. Hillclimbs,club trackdays and sprints is the short answer! VHRR organise Sandown ,Winton revival and Philip Island historics Philip Island is basicaly out as regularity is over subscribed ,and the fact we may run with group A [ CAMS idea]was news to the gentlemen i spoke to.I need to clarefy but they dont run sedans in Philip Island regularity.so it looks like until we get a group of good cars together PI is out,However Sandown and Winton would be open to us ,but it would be regularity.I intend to sound out Ian Tait the club Pres to see if we could put a display of existing cars on show at November Sandown to gauge public interest ,maybe flush out some other cars ,so we need to find some cars to make an attractive display so please let me know of any cars !

Considering group u is a cams class. U r all well to come up too Morgan park qld to race in the historic events. As I have said before we race with the groups a & c up here without any dramas. I also race mine in the state championship events up here. Group u is one of the classes that r included in the sports sedan qld champs. In the historic event we even have a perpetual trophy for group u 'the Fred Sayers cup'. Mark trenerweth races the jag up here with us.
I got a bit excited when the recent Muscle Car Masters at Eastern Creek advertised Sports Sedans as being on the program.
Given the type of meeting that it is, I was expecting to see Historic Sports Sedans going around, but no, it was all the modern stuff. Thats not disappointing, as I love sports sedans, but there weren't even any Historic Sports Sedans doing non competitive demonstration laps.
It seems that until there is sufficient cars to form a complete grid at Historic races, they will be on the outer. And when there are sufficient cars to have their own race, there will probably be cries of too many classes in Historic racing, and why should my group have to miss out on running at a certain meeting.
Historic Formula Fords have their own class with the modern F-Fords at State Championship rounds, so perhaps there a chance historic sports sedans can run with the modern cars at State championships also.
Timbo I had contacted the organisers of MCM asked about taking up my Anglia, was nicly told Nice car not applicable ! i found the advertising misleading and was expecting to see at least a couple of historics You can be sure if we could 10 or more well presented cars in one spot then we would get momentium and a lot more interest Fed Sayers name keeps poping up does anyone have his contact details?
