ian beckett should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Good morning Alex,I am looking right now at a letter I received from Greg Siddle who was team boss at Goold Motorsport who ran the car with chassis number 55 in Australia. In the letter, he confirms thar this car had not run since Adelaide'85 and had subsequently been on display around Australia.The car was then rebuilt to'86 spec and was then raced by Charlie O'Brien/Gary Rogers at the Sandown 500,Bathurst and then ran in the South Pacific series before being shipped to Fuji where Pirro/O'Brien drove it to second place.The car retured to OZ and was sold to the Bob Jane Corporation.He finished by saying there were no plans for the car to race again.The letter was dated 11th November 1986!
