Garry Rogers Torana NZ Visit

[Steve Holmes]

Mark, you might enjoy these pics. These were supplied to me by Vern Muller, and taken by his brother-in-law at Pukekohe in 1980. They're part of a collection we'll be showing on this site in the near future.

Rogers looks to have been given a whack at some stage. Jim Richards would be driving the Brock HDT car.

Yes, i wonder what became of the 1980 Grice Torana. Does it still exist?

Was this not his 1979 car?

That's fantastic Steve i can't wait to see the rest of the photos, and that first one explains when the damage was done to the quarter panel. It had simply filled with body filler and was quite thick but when doing the resto it was shrunk back and filed near perfect.
Please thank Vern for me Steve.

I recently located 2 photos of my car in sports sedan events. The first one is Garry at Amaroo Park and the second is the next owner David Langman who painted the car red and this one is at Sandown and both are from Autopics. Sill searching for others.[ATTACH]22894[/ATTACH][ATTACH]22895[/ATTACH]

Gricey won a round in 1980 and the car was involved in a big crash, Waneroo IIRC, maybe written off ?

I discovered these recently and thought they may be of interest in this thread
