Has anyone got any pics of the machine?

One of the Toranas went to Charlie O'Brien early in the piece, but I believe it was an ex-Zupps car.

The ex-Nixon-Smith, ex-HDT car - variously reported as being the car Bond rolled in the wet at Bathurst in 1972, although I believe that there are those who would contest that - was campaigned by DJ into 1976, until he took up a drive with Bryan Byrt. This was the car that the HDT called "Old Flexible" IIRC.

There were reports that DJ had, as late as 1984, one of the Toranas under his Mum's house in Mt Gravatt, along with all sorts of other stuff, I would assume that it all got cleaned out at some stage between then and now though.
Hi guys, the ex HDT LJ that Dick owned was sold to my father (Kerry Cox)in 1976 when Dick got the Byrt ford sponsorship, Dad went on to win the 1977 QLD touring car series in it.. came runner up to Dicks falcon coupe in 1978 though.

The story that Dick told Dad at the time was that the car came from Nixon-Smith, ex HDT, Dick told Dad that it was a Colin Bond car, but a LOT of people say that this car was actually the 72 Bathurst winning 28C Brock car, which was used as a T car at bathurst in 1973 after upgrading to 73 specs (big DCOE's running one choke, massive sprintmasters etc), and was run by Nixon-Smith in 1974. apparently he rolled it? Dad said it'd had the turret replaced before he bought it..

This car (28C) is now owned by Glenn Amos from lismore i believe, i REALLY want to have a look at this car at some stage, as dad has told me some identifiers that would confirm it was dads old car..

here's some pics of when dad had it:





Dad sold it in late 1978 and went on to build a Gemini sport sedan with XU1 running gear and suspension.. we lost track of the torana and the last we heard it had been converted into a road car and written off in townsville.. who knows...

$42,500 for a rolling chassis. Would have made a great Shannons series car, or a full resto job back to VX spec as the 2000 Championship winner... and sale for 10x the price

Both the early JPS M3s ended up in NZ by late 1987. One went to Trevor Crowe, the other to John Sax. The Crowe car was repainted a very dark metalic blue, the Sax car was red/black/yellow. The Crowe car was entered for Bathurst 87 but was dsq, but with Jim Richards teaming up with Crowe for the (second) 87 Wellington Street Race which was part of the WTCC, the car qualified an impressive 6th against the squadron of works M3s, plus the two Texaco Sierras which were first and second (from memory!).

I have a couple of photos of the two M3s taken at Manfeild around 1990/91, by which time both were painted white. But Sax still had his car, while the other was owned by John Sorenson. So, to make a short story long, the car pictured would be the same one JPS sold to Crowe.

I think you'll find that the car in this picture is the Crowe car. Motorsport shell #17 it had no external fuel fillers in its' JPS days, the rear airjacks are behind the rear wheels and the harness is secured to the rear parcel shelf whereas non motorsport shells had the harness secured to a crossbar in the cage. It was the sister car to my first M3 (ex Longhurst/Finauer) and it was used by Jim at Calder and Symmons Plains then it was sold to Crowe. It's the first M3 to set a pole winning lap time. I believe the car is now back in OZ.

No, currently Zukanovic. Hoping to be ex-Zukanovic very soon.

And "completely original"? Other then the massive rebuild during 2009 perhaps..

Incredible!

Makes you wonder what other significant James Hardie 12 Hour cars are still kicking around. I think Mazda mostly kept or sold theirs to private entrants. What happened to Fitzy's Porsches? Did Ross Palmer hang on to the Dogbone Honda NSX? And what of that lovely Maserati Shamal?
