Unsure that era BTCC cars started as production shells? They were pretty hi tech race weapons

They were supplied by the manufacturer as a complete bodyshell, presumabley sans sound deadening, seam sealer, and other unnecessary bits and pieces.

Will gladly stand corrected, but I thought the Grice ute was 1990, a VN sponsored by Akubra, with a Bluey in the back . . . am I close???

Perhaps the question is actually three questions?
1. What was the last Bathurst 1000 winner that started life as a complete, standard production car? 2. What was the last Bathurst 1000 winner that was built up from a standard production body shell? 3. What was the last Bathurst 1000 winner that was built up from a manufacturer's specially produced body shell? |
