Pin left the HDT at the end of 1983 to set up The Brock Shop in Queensland.

Not sure the best source would be someone who wasn't there when they were made, and subsequently sold/donated?
What should be interesting is the new info Lloyds say they will be releasing closer to the sale - might help shed some further light on the subject. |

Christmas at the Brocks? Plenty of opportunity to discuss over a tea with Peter over the years before his untimely death.

Wouldn’t Mr Perkins be best placed to share this information given that he led the team that built them both?

The Mort (who also built the VK's) did speak out about it in AMC magazine though: https://www.pressreader.com/australi...82192239175497 |

It seems an open and shut case to me, the credible people have all said it is the right car, albeit a grandpa's axe now.
Also logically, it makes ZERO sense to donate the real one to the museum at the behest of Holden. |

This has got me thinking. Do any pre V8SC Bathurst winners actually exist in or close to unrestored / as raced condition?

Harvey, from memory, has said that #05 is in the museum. The Bertie St investigation leaves little doubt, as does the AMC one.
The Chickadee Commodore was raced into 1987 by Grice, and was later raced by Derek Bailey in the late-80s and early-90s in Sports Sedan events in NSW. Not sure how original that makes it from it's Bathurst win |

All this doesn't help the mystery much though?

According to a V8 Sleuth article. It did the Adelaide F1 support races after Bathurst and then retired by HRT. To this day retained by the Walkinshaw family.
Probably about as original as you'll get, compared to the others. I think GRM retired their 2000 winning VT straight after the race and it remains exactly as it crossed the line. Although its post 93. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk |

The cars Mr Perkins has restored, and in the process of restoring, are as close to original as possible. Matching numbers engines, gearboxes, even un-modifying the rollcage in one chassis.

The issue I have with Lloyds is their guy on Gold Coast 9 News saying " this is the race car (XU1) that Brock won his 1st Bathurst in". Champion's display clearly had it as a replica (albeit a genuine XU1) |

The Australian newspaper have an article on the Brock car auction, and the doubts over the 1989 Mobil Ford Sierra.
