Historic Sport Sedans

[ERC]

Have you noticed that all these cars pictured have real character and individuality? These are the sorts of cars we want to see on the track, not todays bland identical stuff. Keep this class and thread going. Great work guys and especially you John.

I just love Graemes sense of humour when asked about special pieces....International haybaler donuts, Kenworth truck warning lights, Morris 1100 gearlever.
Great post-well found

Amazing just how many Vauxhall based cars in this thread!

I have a feeling, the yellow RX3 of alan Montgomery, started life as Alan Grices "Craven mild" car. Not sure if he still has it, but had a feeling it may be back in Aust.

Looks like Jon and Bob Hyslop at it again, Jon says he cant wait to do it again with the RX8

Hi,
New here.I have the ex Doug Clark Toyota Celica Sports Sedan that has been fully professionally restored to original spec.It won 3 Queensland Sports Sedan Championships in the early 80's as well as running in the National Series.It has a full Space Frame front fabricated by John Wright (Avante) and has a Mid Mount High HP Holden 202 with a Duggan Head that is dry sumped.All running gear and mechanicals historically correct and brand new.
Car is running but needs glass and bars etc fitted.New period sympathetic FIA compliant cage just fitted by Paul Morris Motorsport as well as engine cover.I have the original Logbook and full documentation.I have spent over $80K on this project and as I am not going to race again I would sell it for $40K.Car is at PMM Gold Coast.Kindly PM me or call+61 (0)433112599 for further info on this Historically significant Sports Sedan.Thanks.

At last,- as promised -Barry Algies Monaro is featured in the latest Australian STREET MACHINE magazine, February edition.
Hoping it would make the front cover,it didnt, you will find it page 112-118
However great pics from at Hampton Downs, and a great advertisement for Historic Sports Sedans .
It takes a special car to be there , and thanks to Street Machine for wanting this iconic NZ car featured
Also extra special thanks to Andrew Metford and Scott Campbell- Fast Parts- for helping this photo shoot and article to come together.
