No, someone in another thread had indicated that car was built up out of a spare shell in the WPS shed. Presumably one of the shells that the team was always just about to finish off building up into new cars..............

There was a guy in Sydney who had the '05' car in that fleet, the one Mr Brock bailed from to get into this '45' car... wonder where the 3rd one is?

The value in this car is that Mr Brock stuck his bum in it... they didnt win the class in the B12....

pete60 · 16 Apr 2009, 09:58 (Ref:2442057)

The ex BFR VP has travelled a long and winding road. However, it was owned for many years by Richard Mork, who upgarded it to VS guise. He sold it a few years ago to John Bourke, who ran it a few times in the (then) TCC.

pretty sure it wasn't.....It's finished it's life as the GIO car. I could be wrong though.

William Dale Jr · 19 Apr 2009, 08:11 (Ref:2444412)

Neither of the GIO VLs finished their Group A lives with the Bob Forbes team. One went to Stuart McColl to become the Kart Mania car, whilst the other went to father & son Donaher. Not sure which car the Holc car was.

David Towe · 19 Apr 2009, 10:39 (Ref:2444545)

If I remember correctly it was the Donaher car, but I'm waiting to hear back from David to confirm this.

David's car is the McColl Car, The donaher car is also in melbourne in a horrible state of neglect.

Word is....

The Gulson/Geoghegan Commodore went through several owners and is now in the care of Kevin Heffernan.

The Cooke/Brown "Citizen" Commodore was owned by Citizen. From Cooke it went to Charlie O'Brien for 1981, crashed at Bathurst and CO'B purchased the spare Roadways car for the weekend. Greg Toepfer then repaired the crashed car and ran it as "Citizen" again in 1982 with Ken Mathews. Mathews then purchased the car from Citizen and ran it through 1983 (Mathews/Toepfer - Bathurst 83 Ignis Fridges?) and into 1984 when mid-year Mathews crashed it at Amaroo. Mathews then purchased "Elvis" from Roadways and ran Bathurst 84 again with Toepfer. The original (Cooke/Brown) car may have surfaced recently in southern Qld.

The CIG - Bridges/Ransom Commodore was converted back to a road car and is apparently still a road car in Newcastle.

The 1980 Wingston/O'Brien Roadways Commodore could have been the one sold to CO'B (see above) for 1981. This car then went to Terry Finnigan.

I've got the Benson-Brown Commodore.

Haven't been able to find out about the Geissler/Rogers Commodore. Anyone know???

I'm not too sure that there have been any (previous sales) ?

But I agree that it "seems to be a little more realistic compared to previous - Advertised Asking Prices"

This may/may not have been covered earlier, but where are, or what happened to, the Roadways Commodore's?

I won't guess anything, but the range of Commodore's would be from 1980 obviously until the end of 1989, i can't recall any 'Roadways' (under its then Les Small guise) entries after that

Roadways had sold chassis 6 at the end of 86, the team planning on contesting the WTCC in a Nissan Skyline. When this fell through, an ATCC campaign was hastily arranged and the 86 Bathurst winner leased for Grice and the Graeme Cameron car for Graham Crosby for the first 2 rounds. The VL debuted at round 3 and after renegotiating the Bob Jane sponsorship the team reverted to a one car operation.

One of the 2 88 built cars was sold to Bill O'Brien and raced at Bathurst in 94 & 95.

can you clarify the cameron car at all?
i thought that the car he owned and ran as a vk then vl (Bathurst 87) was the grice agp winner.
he does seam, possibly, to use another chassis at an early nissan mobil round, as this is prior to the AGP

( i think any way, i will go and look at the dates)

Add please what you know

Cheers
