great read this post.
Where would one find out about the dealer team cars Foley ran?

The Foley dealer team cars are pretty easy.

Tim Schenken wrote off the original John French GTV at Bathurst 75 when it broke a wheel at McPhillamy Park.

Gordon Rich wrote off the LHD Autodelta GTV at Forest Elbow in practice for the 77 Bathurst race.

The Bell/Leggatt Bathurst 77 class winning car (the orignal Christine Cole/Gibson Chesterfield car from 73) almost met its end in a Targa Tasmania crash by its current owner who lives in Melbourne. It is currently being restored to its 77 Bathurst livery up here in NSW.

The remaining Foley car,I bought that of Jeff H in about 1982 and sold to Tim B who in turn sold it to his brother Chris.
had some nice features like,
the tacho on the lhs dash pad.
Close ratio gearbox I bought in West Aust.
had only ever raced from day one,no heater or sound deading.
large brakes on the front
Auto delta panhard rod
Even when I had it ..every panel had been hit but there was no rust.
fast little car,Hugh and Vin did an engine for me,coming back from an Alfa national rally in South A.,I blew off a Montreal in a straight line near Robb and saw on the flat just on 130mph,which i think was the speed Bell had it doing on Conrod in '77.
I ran it with a set of gold Simmons 15x8 all round as the wheels with it were worn out .
