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.
Bob Tindall's Torana was his own creation. The Rogers car went to Robin Dougherty, then the Lusty's and then Ceverie.
The Neil Brain Monza featured is in fact the ex-Moffat DeKon 1005. Brain (and a partner) bought it off Paul Jones who had bought it off Moffat. Brain crashed it at Amaroo and it then went to John Tesoriero, patched and has since gone to the US where it is awaiting resto.

Thanks for those pics timbo. So what happened to those two Torana's? Does anyone know their whereabouts, or did the Tindal car become his Commodore?

Tony Hubbard raced a black Torana hatch during the 1982 Aussie sports sedan championship. It had Group C style flares, though much bigger, and Zakspeed Capri/Escort style stripes. What happened to this car?
