Awesome! Some legendary cars in there. That Thomson Merc was something special, although it was plagued with issues when in twin-turbo guise. But what an ambitious project it was. I liked it as its seen here too, with the big box flares. Thomson ended up buying that Monza off Bob Jane to finally win the championship in 1985. I think he ran a two car team in 1985, and got Brad Jones to drive the Merc from memory?

The Tino Leo Monaro is another ex-Bob Jane car.
