Just wondering if any of you guy's can help me out? I want to add to my collection, and i would really like to track down a VL Walkinshaw Group A tourer not to worried if it is only a shell,roller or complete willing to look at any option.
One that i would like to know the whereabouts of is the EX Lansvale Dulux car last i had heard was that someone in Sydney had the car and it had road car running gear in it. Any clues guy's?????? Cheers Dylan |

GNXU1,
Was that the car that was used in the Grand Prix and Indy Rally events? All done up in 'Strathfield Car Radio' livery. |

Yes Steve, mine is one of the first two built. One was a 325 they had in progress and converted to an M3, and the other was a new M3. I can't tell which I've got. I've emailed BMW Germany and am waiting final confirmation from them.
If you lift the boot lid seal you can still see remnants of yellow paint in places from the Sax days. The ECU bears a handwritten name Trevor Crowe on it as though it were put there whilst it was out of the car for identification during repair. I'm not sure of the connection between Trevor and Sax if any. The car was white when owned by Kiwi Motorsport and run by Sharpe and Spurle under Castrol sponsorship. Any pics or Kiwi motorsport magazine articals anyone can supply of my car in different liveries would be appreciated. I'm preparing for the day when I apply for an "Historic" log book and will need these sorts of pics and magazine articals to prove the heritage of the car (plus it would just be interesting to read and have) and it's hard to track down any NZ reports. My email is djtowe@pnc.com.au Allan Cattle also owned the car and ran it NZ this time with some stripe down the sides. Trevor Bills of Dominator Garage Doors restored the car I believe before it was sold to a UK collector (for the parts inventory) then on to Jim Searley in OZ who bought it from. Perhaps you could help with some contact details for any of these people. |

David, was it Trevor Crowe who drove with Peter Janson in (I think) the '88 Bathurst in an M3? I think they finished 4th outright & 1st in class. I think that was an ex JPS car too....

I am not sure which is which... the Great Race discussion seems to make it more confusing.... The Great Race book for 1988 says (p73) "One of the unfulfilled entries for a Schnitzer car, Australian entrepreneur Greg Siddle having been unable to stitch together a deal, went to New Zealander John Sax, who already had himself entered with Graham Lorimer in an M3. Thus No. 53 went to teh first JPS M3 built - the Jim Richards 1987 ATCC car in which the 44 year old Trevor Crowe has won the 1987 NZTCC - and No. 54 the 1987 Longhurst car that Sax and Lorimer had raced four times in Australia in 1987, had entered for Bathurst, then shipped home in disgust because they were on the bottom of the lost of reserves for Bathurst and seemed certain not to get a start..." I presumed that the car you have is the M3 with the Autocolor paintscheme... which was crashed at Bathurst 1988 with Mr Sorensen at the wheel.... the pic on P217 of the Great Race book shows some of the damage... |

Does anyone know how many Sierra's Glenn Seton ran?
Bob Tweedie shows up in one now and then and another is in Tassie. The one in Tassie turned up with a 2Lt NA motor in it,but had all the bits to go back to the Turbo motor. Has fronted for a race meeting about 5 years ago but had engine drama's in practice and hasn't been seen since. Did Ellery have 2 of the old seton cars?

I thought there were only 2 GSR Sierras... that the one crashed at Lakeside was pulled straight again.... Celette (apparently a brand of smash repair equipment) appeared as a team backer at one stage..
Mr Ellery bought one, converted to 2 litre spec, and run by Mike Quinn in the enduros with Garry Gossati in 1993(?) in Tisco/Chelgrave colours, and in the ASTC in 1994... Mr Tweedie bought the other, from GSR, in turbo form.. and apparently later bought the ex-Ellery chassis too.. after Mr Kratzmann had a run with it in Data #3 colours |

So both cars may have run in 2Lt form ?
One of the cars would have been low milage as Seto only ran a one car team for a while. |

Tweedie was supposed to run the turbo car at Speed on Tweed last year but did not show for undisclosed reasons.
Ellery, funnily enough, crashed the Sierra again at the same point at Lakeside and missed the round. |

Henry, taking to Barry on the weekend, IIRC he said it was the 72 Bathurst winner, but other than that, the story seems to be on the money.

The 24 C Bond 1972 car as I mentioned in a earlier post has been reproduced as a very good replica! I actually saw the both cars at the Torana Nationals at the Gold Coast last Easter they looked fantastic racing around on the track at the Driving Centre! Its a credit to the current owners of those cars! |
