Also....Tassie's Bruce Gowans got his old McCormack built Toyota Celica Repco V8 back a couple of years ago or so.
Some work has been done and an engine sourced I've heard.

I'm interested as well. I've got 10" & 13" centres that I was going to copy via CNC if I can find somone to do it at a reasonable price. The original centers were cast. I've just had some new rear rims spun up in 6061 Al by Whitehorse Industries in Melb. Manager Craig was very helpful. I'm saving up at the moment to get some new dies made for the correct offset for the front wheels.

nice collection

A few more from Models 56





and an extra that was created from a HQ and a Jane Camaro

[Steve Holmes]

Hey those models are cool Bondy. Whose is the HQ Monaro supposed to be? Is that a TCM car?

Hi Steve,

It was a bit of a hybrid Janey car, but Brett Youlden was building his TCM car and used the model as a Sponsorship proposal weapon hence his name on it.. It now just sits in the shop as a display.

I am racinging the EX Terry Corbett MK1 Ford Escort in Qld. (I have a group U log book issued for it) Only one of about three (3) that has the CAMS log book isssued.
This car raced in Qld from 1983 till the present. The o'l girl is still going around ok.
Cheers Gary Goulding

Nice one Bry, that was cool. Some real classic Sports Sedans in that field. The old Geoghegan Monaro looks monstrous in comparison to the newer machinery. Was the Bob Tindall Torana the same car raced previously by Garry Rogers? I think the Neil Brain Monza might be the car now owned by Rowan Harman??? And wasn't the old Amaroo Park a neat layout.

Thanks Steve,,Yes, Amaroo always seemed to produce some great races,,I think I remember reading somewhere that Bob Tindall built up his Torana from bits he found in wrecking yards..

[Steve Holmes]

Thanks Bry. I'm sure you're right. Thinking about it now, I have a copy of a 1982 Aussie motorsport annual somewhere and the Tindall Torana has larger versions of what look like Group C flares on the car, so these box flares must have come later. The Rogers car already had the box flares well before 1982.
