Nissan Mobil Brock Sierra Pic's Required

Post by Les Laidlaw »

Hi Guys,
Just wondering if anyone has photos of the Brock Miedecke Sierra from the December 1990 Nissan Mobil series.
I have a project happening at the moment and wanted images of as it ran in Wellington and Pukekohe.
Any angle shots including the door Nissan Mobil signage would be great as I only have a newspaper attached to go on so far.
Thanks in advance for any assistance

Hi Les, this is great! Good luck with the pics. I'm sure someone on here will have something. Would you like me to post this on our Facebook page?

I've seen very few images of the car in it's 1990 spec, and I tend to save every image I see of magnificent Fords like this one, but I recently find this one somewhere on the net - apologies to the unknown photographer, but thanks!!

Foot in mouth department : I was going to point out that I'd seen that Andrew Miedecke is restoring just such a car, then it dawned that's probably why you want the pics....

I'll get me coat.... :cool:

I had a bit of a dig through some old magazines and scanned these for you. I hope they help!

There were some differences from Wellington to Puke;

And lastly, this two page spread scanned from the NZ Speedsport 1991 Annual - I'm sorry I don't have an A3 scanner, but I figure you're looking for some detail;

This is as good as I can do for you - hope it helps.

Please keep us up to date with your resto - I love the fact there is going to be a car of such significance restored to "Nissan Mobil 500" colours - not just another yawn Bathurst livery.

Thanks once again Superford, the car is now sitting on its wheels for the first time in about 25 years, we have the signwriter coming to take photos of the car then he scales it to the signwriting of the photos of the car in the day....... doing this livery as its the last race for this car with both of them driving together and winning the Puke race and series over there.
