Hi, my name is Kerry Horrell. I am the current owner of the ex Ebett Motors / Jim Palmer XU-1 Torana. I am currently researching the original racing scheme of this car to be able to recreate the livery (decals) that it wore when it won the the Glenvale 100. I have the Sept, 1971 Motorman magazine with the cover featuring the XU-1 & the August issue with photos & article of the race. The June/July 1971 AutoNews also has photos & article. I have good photos of both sides & front of car, but nothing of the rare. A photo on page 14 of the AutoNews magazine of a Mazda Capelia shows my car in the background of the rear but we are unable to blow this photo up clear enough to show what is on the back Spoiler. I have been in contact with Jim Palmer & he sent what photos he had.
I am hoping that any one out there can help with photos that don't already appear in the above magazines. PLEASE study other photos of that period of racing as you never know the rear end of my car might be there.
I am finding this forum very interesting eg. As a kid I used to watch Neil Doyle race his Corvette Anglia at Ruapuna & I got to know Neil in latter years through my Business. I hope to spend a lot more time looking through the threads.
I reconise a few names eg. Gary Price whom I purchased an A9X Torana off a few years ago, but more on that later.
