    Sometime in the early 90's I rang a guy in the lower north island who had a Skyline Dr30 advertised, he told me the car had a white bootlid on it from the racecar that was written off. I might be wrong but I think he said it had "sleepyhead" on it

    Didn't Kent Baigent and Graeme Bowkett run a couple of DR30 Skylines with Sleepyhead signage? I'd actually completely forgotten about those cars. Wonder where they got to?

    That's great so did it do any more events after 1987 Wellington?
    Nice to know that the Sleepyhead cars are still alive as well, were they built in NZ or Aust?

    The Sleepyhead Nissans were actually entered as Team Nissan Racing New Zealand and had this very unfortunate end to the 1987 Bathurst
