More great photos Timbo. What ever happened to the Mike Ceveri Chevy V8 Sierra? That car started life as one of the two OXO Supercube Group A cars in 1987, and was rolled, before it was re-appeared as Ceveri's Sports Sedan.

Mike Ceveri's Sierra is still alive and well, and up for sale if your interested.

The Lancaster Volvo came south with Wayne Ross and was then sold to Dave Agnew who basically built a space frame car with later model Volvo body and using the engine and box etc. The car won the GT3 title (old B class) a number of times.

Good old Escort wheel lifting shot,thanks to Spears for this one

I met the owner of this car recently Bob. He gave me his card, but now I can't find it anywhere. Does anyone have a contact for him? He flew over from the UK to race the car at Hampton Downs, and is very enthusiastic about it. I'm sure he'd enjoy this site.

Some shots of Eric Jordan in the day car changed colour a few times and had a different or new sponsor every race i like the beverage no breathtesting in those days

Not very good shots but history never the less

Maybe wrong post but a great car

Great photos Tony, Unreal. the Pink and White commodore is a Mossman but is Jenny, she was a very good peddler. The car was actually one of the cars that Lindsay Willis built, I think this one was originally for Toms but Jenny ended up with it. Not sure but it may be the same car that Mack Workman ran later.

Thanks Rod. Corrected the name in earlier post. Now that you mention Jenny Mossman it all comes back. Yes she was a very capable steerer indeed.
Any idea who ran the Mazda in post 72 pic 4. I can not remember for the life of me. I guess beauty was in the eye of the beholder with that one.

Wow! These are absolutely magic! Thanks Tony. I never get tired of seeing these types of cars.

Nice shot there of Jim Short's Porsche. I just love the PDL II and Dawson Monza.

Thought it may have been Ralph Mossmans.
