I know this car spent a bit of time in the classifieds section of Auto Action, but I don't know what happened to it after that.

Steve built the car up out of a shell that he purchased from Barry Graham the the car was caged in 1987 and a lot of Terry's spare parts were used to assemble the car it was then painted in the Silver and White like the CIG Gases car of Finnigans ( I was told that the reason for this was that both Steve and terry were going to run 2 cars but it did not eventuate) the silver top was then repainted to floro orange in 88, Steve sold the car in about 1993 to a guy in Melbourne who used it for club stuff before it was sold to another club racer a few years later he used the car for many years before he sold the car minus engine and getrag gearbox( engine and box are now in the Peter Champion owned and recently restored Brock 05 VL. The car was sold minus engine and box to another melbourne racer were engine and getrag were replaced before winding up in my garage in 2003 the car is still how it raced when Steve had the car except for the Original Engine and Getrag, drivers seat and steering wheel apart from that it is still the way it was.
As the car has a very limited history this is why i am trying to get as much info and Photo's from people as possible so that it makes my apllication for a Historic Certificate of Desciption a lot more detailed.
Any help would be fantastic.
Cheers
