The original 318 SS (which I believe was originally run in Craven Mild colours by Oil Can Harry) was written off in 1983, in the prang casued by Brock's Bob Jane Monza breaking an axle off the line IIRC... the crash also involved the ex-Richards Falcon Sports Sedan.
Also IIRC (think I read it in Barry Naismuth's "Jim Richards" illustrated bio from 1985-ish) the replacement 320 featured an F2 donk.
Ludwig Finauer burst onto the scene in 1987, apparently after doing a fair amount of testing at Amaroo, of the cars he spannered on for Frank Gardner... Frank noticed he was getting quicker, and coached him , ultimately slipping him a drive... his fade from the category seemed to coincide with the decline of the M3's competitive life - the original's anyway...
