The John Player Special BMW 325i Group A

I think a lot of you will remember the JPS 635CSi's and M3's, here the 325i that was raced by Tony Longhurst in the 1986 Australian Touring Car Championship. A great battle with Dick Johnson. Here his car is the previous season, the BMW Motorsport 323i. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcFRpcBnBlg |

Those were great days in the ATCC. Plenty of giant killing.

This (black) ex JPS 325i is now owned by me. It's the third of the three pre-M3 Group A 3 series BMWs built by Frank Gardner's JPS Team.
The first car built is the white 323 also linked above, which was Tony Longhurst's primary car for the 1985 season. Then came a second 323i (later upgraded to a 325i) which Longhurst used for two rounds late in the 1985 season, then Garry Rogers drove it for two rounds early 1986. This car raced as #23 and is currently in Australia. Finally the #25 car in the video above which Longhurst used for the full 1986 season, now based in NZ. An article reuniting Paul Radisich with it https://www.pdf-archive.com/2016/05/...paul-radisich/ Another great video of it in action here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npTb8vTL0ws The '7 Sport' race cam was fitted into this #25 car for some of the following 1986 Amaroo rounds. |

David Towe, another tenther, also owns and regularly races one of the JPS M3 cars.
From the Heritage Touring Cars website the history on his car: Quote:
