Good old days at Taupo. The original track. Jones Commodore, Brennan Escort and Willis Mazda. All Chev powered. Good racing.

The Lancaster Volvo had some European history to it didn't it? What happened to this car? Seemed to have come and gone pretty quickly.
A few random photo's of 1980's Aust. Sports Sedans.

The Lancaster Volvo came south with Wayne Ross and was then sold to Dave Agnew who basically built a space frame car with later model Volvo body and using the engine and box etc. The car won the GT3 title (old B class) a number of times.Originally Posted by Steve Holmes
Hey Rod, this last batch is fantastic! Do you have any more of Brennans Escort?
More great photos Timbo. What ever happened to the Mike Ceveri Chevy V8 Sierra? That car started life as one of the two OXO Supercube Group A cars in 1987, and was rolled, before it was re-appeared as Ceveri's Sports Sedan.
Mike Ceveri's Sierra is still alive and well, and up for sale if your interested.

Wow, look at that. it looks just like it did 20 years ago. Thanks for the link.
Good old Escort wheel lifting shot,thanks to Spears for this one
I met the owner of this car recently Bob. He gave me his card, but now I can't find it anywhere. Does anyone have a contact for him? He flew over from the UK to race the car at Hampton Downs, and is very enthusiastic about it. I'm sure he'd enjoy this site.
i think you may be referring to Mark Dwyer he told me he had bought a kiwi mk 1 escort when he was down racing the F5000 series
Some shots of Eric Jordan in the day car changed colour a few times and had a different or new sponsor every race i like the beverage no breathtesting in those days
Not very good shots but history never the less

Maybe wrong post but a great car
Great to see the Addis Charger. Brings back memories of an encounter on the Auckland motorway. I was heading home to Thames when the Charger went past me at a great rate of knots. A wonderful sight and glorious sound.
Great photos Tony, Unreal. the Pink and White commodore is a Mossman but is Jenny, she was a very good peddler. The car was actually one of the cars that Lindsay Willis built, I think this one was originally for Toms but Jenny ended up with it. Not sure but it may be the same car that Mack Workman ran later.
