BJR have had a number of cars that have ended up upside down. Brad rolled the 1st Ozemail AU at turn 8 at Adelaide in 2000, John Cleland rolled after colliding with Jason Plato in then in 2005 Brad ended upside down in 2 meetings in a row.

Not many details though.

Single wheel nut = 1985 (Bathurst at least)

Were these Zakspeed built? (There were two DJR Cars?)

So did This Story idea come from this thread?

What colour was the car in in that pic?

I presume that this is also the 'JPS' DJR Mustang that Mr Crichton shared in 1985 in the same series?

The JPS Mustang was from the '86 race.

There were two Wellington 500's in '87.

The crashed Mustang was from the Jan '87 race.

Dick drove the Anderson Bros XE Falcon in the '85 race.

Your right it was Johnson who crashed, he got tangled up in an accident between Longhurst and Lamont, was in practice for the 87 race.
Car was painted in the normal Greens-tuf colour (doesn’t look like that in the black and white photo) but with Ker's sponsorship.
This is the same car that was in JPS colours the year before finished second at Wellington co driven by Crichton.

IIRC DJ used to have a column in Chequered Flag, which is where I recall reading about the 87 Wellington hit.

As best as I can figure, the Donnelly car is that car, and as was mentioned a page or so back, would be more correctly displayed in its current livery as #18.

It was JPS'ed for the Nissan-Mobile Series in 1986, and advertised as being for sale there at that time. DJR repainted it green and used it as the T-Car at Bathurst 1986, and were in the process of delivering it to new owner Robbie Ker when DJ fingered it at Weelington 1987.

racer69 · 19 Jun 2010, 06:38 (Ref:2714605)

The other Mustang of course went to Ian Love in WA for 1987, made one last ATCC start at that years Wanneroo round in his hands.

I wonder if the upside down Formula car, painted in Ferrari knockoff livery is also for sale, or whether the AU nosecone from the Rod Salmon car comes with the BJR Ford?

The girls behind the bar still wear the same shirts Mr Salmon's race team did back in the early 2000's...

Do you have any photos of the Formula car by any chance?

I bet those uniforms made it worthwhile staying for 2 or 3 Diet Cokes!!

Ghost Busters RX7 is on the Gold Coast, was being restored, this was a year or so back, not sure what stage it is at now.

Bathurst Volvo!

racer69 · 29 Jun 2010, 01:29 (Ref:2719599)

Considering the historical significance (supposedly the last 'stocker' to race in the 1000, held up Peter Williamson, provided great RaceCam etc), 20 grand is not a bad price for the "rotten Volvo"

Hi all, my first post & have just finished reading the entire Group C / A thread (playing catch up!), fantastic reading from many knowledged writers.
Great to read about the re-emergence of both the #10 & Moffat/Rouse Sierras, does anyone know where Moffat's first Eggenberger chassis is & it's post Moffat history etc? Also I am on the hunt for pics of the car as it raced as #39 in the 1989 Intertec Fuji 500, Moffat's last drive (& win) in Group A. I've seen some grainy youtube footage which shows it carried some minor logos on the front & rear quarters for that race only but can't make out what they are (rear bumper as well).
So if anyone out there has some pics of Moffat's last ride, or where else they could be found, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, O.P.F

G'day OPF and welcome to the forum. DrBob owns both the #10 Rouse/Moffatt Siera and the #9 Eggenberger/Moffatt Sierra. They are both for sale too!

Numbers other way around David. #9 Rouse/Moffat car and the #10 Moffat/Eggenberger car, Eggenberger not for sale.

A bit more history on Sierras here

http://tentenths.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2554248

Don't know the history of the 2 Eggenberger Sierras post 1992, but when Moffat built his EB Falcon in 1993, it was stated that he retained both although one had been stripped with some of the components ending up in the Falcon while the other was still complete.

Thanks for all the quick info, so from this it can be assumed that Eggenberger #9 is no longer a complete car, with all it's running gear being "Falconised". Makes you wonder where the shell/engine/wheels ended up & if they're still in existence somewhere. Of the two Sierras, it certainly had a deeper history. Now, if only I can find pics of it's '89 Fuji 500 victory!!
BTW, very nice purchase DrBob, #10 looks as though it's had a charmed life!

racer69 · 30 Jun 2010, 06:12 (Ref:2720178)

Perhaps an obvious question, but are these two Jaguars both the same car?

Garry Wilmington - 1986 Amaroo AMSCAR round (car now restored to 85/86 specs)

Garry Wilmington - 1988 Amaroo Sports Sedans (top left of picture)

David Towe · 30 Jun 2010, 08:22 (Ref:2720221)

I believe they are, I seem to remember hearing that Garry was busy returning the jag to Group A spec a few years ago.
Isn't there an Eggenberger Sierra in NZ?

Could that white XJS be the ex John Clinton groupA car that raced once,right at the end of the Jaguars group A time zone?

**chunterer** · 1 Jul 2010, 20:39 (Ref:2720927)

Did I read somewhere once that once of the Group A ATCC XJS's (not a TWR car though) was in fact a revised Group C car?

I can recall standing in the Oran park dustbowl some years ago, when the announcer across the crackly PA confirmed that the sports sedan was not the Group A Jaguar, but another chassis entirely. They never confirmed where it came from however.

At the time, Mr Willmington also had the ex-Group C Commodore (the Roadways 100 mph car from memory) for Mr Awadallah (boss of Blue Haven Pools) to drive in Sports sedans
