I think the car was red when my uncle first got it.......which would make sense with the TTA bit.......But i think it was red all over? |

Psumably then long time Toyota tuner Mike Quinn's Phoenix Motorsport operation would have had some connection with the car. |

The only all-red AE86 hatch I can think of is Richard Stiegler's Alltoy-backed car. IIRC, that might have been ex-TTA. Mike Mortimer ran that car at Bathurst in '88 but I'm not sure what happened to it after that.

The Quinn/ Ratcliffe car was running in the red and white colours....#78 in 90.....so i guess that means it wasnt that car.....i think that is the car that Geoff full and mike conway ran in 91 was it?.....cant remember......i was only 6 yrs old.....lol...
And i thought they were sprinters not Levin's........I know some will say no difference but there is......but the parts are interchangable too....... |

Ratcliff's team always referred to their car as a Levin and Bob Holden's team called their's Sprinter, even though all three of them were Sprinters which had been built up to Levin specification. |

The Mike Conway/Calvin Gardiner car from 1991 was Bob Holden's car, it was the first Group A car in Australia and i believe it holds the record for Bathurst starts, 10 of them!!!! That car is currently being restored by forum member terryO. |

Mortimer/Ratcliff Sprinter was all red in 1988 Bathurst 1000. Verheyen/Searle Sprinter was all blue in 1990 Bathurst.

Greg Whittaker in Queensland ended up with the original Group A TTA Sprinter, having campaigned a 1974 Twin Cam celica rally car for many years.
He campaigned spasmodically over the next seson or two, but where it is now, I have no idea. |

Richard Stieglar or "Biggles" to his mates would be stoked to see his name and former business talked about. Years ealier he also had a very succesful FFord team sponsored by Bracks Slacks and his team mate was one Wally Storey...
