The three different cars used in Bob Jane colours that year (one 956 for Brock/Perkins at Silverstone 1000km, a different 956 for Brock/Perkins at Le Mans, plus the Bond/Miedecke 962 at Sandown 1000km) were just leased from John Fitzpatrick Racing. They would have been used afterwards for different drivers in different colours, so could have ended up anywhere.

Does anyone know where the old Seton Ford Serria Cosworths and Nissian Godzillas are?

MRJUCY · 7 Jan 2007, 14:42 (Ref:1808858)

This one has been for sale for a while now.

Is there much of a market for them in Australia, particularly if it was converted to a road car??

I'm interested. Care to PM me?

Seton Fanatic · 9 Jan 2007, 10:22 (Ref:1810263)

I've heard that there were only two or three GSR Sierras built in the four-year period between 1989 and 1992. One was definitely destroyed at Lakeside by fire. Another one appears to be in Bob Tweedie's hands. If there's a third one, where is it?

mtpanorama · 9 Jan 2007, 11:22 (Ref:1810301)

Wasnt one of Seton's sierra's turned into the 2lt super tourer that ellerey drove? That car then went to Peter Hills, and then I think David Krause may have had it a one time.....

David Towe · 9 Jan 2007, 12:43 (Ref:1810346)

Tweedie turned his into a Supertourer for a year or two, he still has it. Eddie Sansil in Melbourne has one in nice cond.

Speaking of Sierras..anyone got the Bathurst program from a couple of years back when Murph set the record?? In the back of the program (which I gave a way) was aterrific little piece on a fella from Berri NSW who was ex-BMW F1 trained and I think prepped the Moffat Sierras....would appreciate a name

**GTRMagic** · 10 Jan 2007, 05:34 (Ref:1810973)

Ludwig Finauer? He isnt ex-Moffat but ex JPS...

Sultan · 10 Jan 2007, 06:11 (Ref:1810984)

Was Eggenberger himself originally BMW trained???

Ludwig had a few drives of that wicked 320i tubo S/Sedan, then got to drive the 3rd JPS M3, mainly in the AMSCAR series at Amaroo (I used to enjy watching that as much as the main series!)

Whatever hapened to him - or that S/sedan for that matter!!(remember it being for sale a long time ago - about 10yrs???)

Ludwig (Goofy as he was also known), had a few drives in the M3 and tested the 325s. He later moved to Berri and became the local milkman and now runs a workshop from his house. He builds a prepares a couple of cars for BMW Club members and is well respected by club members.
I visited his house once and he has a poster on the wall of the workshop with the entire Brabham BMW F1 Team from 1983 and he is about fifth from the left in the back row from memory, he also has the "Rookie of the Year" trophy from Bathurst 1987, all my motorsport memorabilia pales into insignificance now.

I don't recall him having driven the 320. The 318 was the turbo and it was written off at AIR in 1984?? That was followed by the spare shell that was built as a normally aspirated 320 (not the same fire breathing performance by any stretch of the imagination) and I don't know its whereabouts.
Ludwig drove with Radisich in an M3 in 1988.

Driver TBA · 10 Jan 2007, 22:19 (Ref:1811833)

Hey guys going a bit off current topic. On Nicholson street Brunswick (Melbourne) there’s an automotive workshop between Blyth Street and Brunswick road. Sitting up on a hoist just inside is what looks to be an old Glen Seton EL Falcon, does anyone know anything about this car? I used to drive past it everyday about 18 months ago and when I last saw it was covered in a lot of dust. Is it still there and does it get used at all?

Wow, that's amazing info David, has he had a look at your M3? Amazing how he didn't go further in the motorsport world? From memory there were two 3 series sports sedans, I must admit I didn't know if the 2nd one was naturally aspirated or not, merely presuming... I was only around 12 at the time remember!

275 GTB-4 · 11 Jan 2007, 06:15 (Ref:1812040)

Mercy brocolli fellas..my head dosen't hurt anymore

Henry · 11 Jan 2007, 06:17 (Ref:1812041)

The original 318 SS (which I believe was originally run in Craven Mild colours by Oil Can Harry) was written off in 1983, in the prang casued by Brock's Bob Jane Monza breaking an axle off the line IIRC... the crash also involved the ex-Richards Falcon Sports Sedan.

Also IIRC (think I read it in Barry Naismuth's "Jim Richards" illustrated bio from 1985-ish) the replacement 320 featured an F2 donk.

Ludwig Finauer burst onto the scene in 1987, apparently after doing a fair amount of testing at Amaroo, of the cars he spannered on for Frank Gardner... Frank noticed he was getting quicker, and coached him , ultimately slipping him a drive... his fade from the category seemed to coincide with the decline of the M3's competitive life - the original's anyway...

Tweedie at one point had two Seton Sierras. The Ellery Super tourer (rather overweight for the class) went on to Tweedie, then leased to Kurt Kratzmann for a year. Tweedie I believe also had a full house Group A Seton Sierra.

The Hills Sierra was the ex-Bryan Sala turbo Group A car. I don't know where Sala got it from.

William Dale Jr · 20 Jan 2007, 11:42 (Ref:1820178)

The Sala car was one of the ex-Longhurst, ex-Paxton, Wolf-built cars.

I guessed it might have been a Longhurst car, but when two went to the Bolwell, I didn't think there were anymore.

racer69 · 20 Jan 2007, 16:18 (Ref:1820382)

Longhurst had at least three in 1990. At that years Wanneroo round of the ATCC they ran three B&H cars, the two regulars for Tony and Alan Jones, plus #62 for Neville Crichton.

GROUPA · 20 Jan 2007, 21:32 (Ref:1820513)

Bryan Sala still has the shell I beleive and picked up plenty of parts from DJR
