Holden VB/VC/VH/VK Commodore (Group C)
I am surprised that this one has not already been started here.
I have some of the history for the HDT cars but not much else. AFAIK, there were cars made by: Roadways/Les Small HDT Warren Cullen Peter Janson Re-Car Craven Mild Citizen Watches Phil Lyon Any information on Chassis #'s, Owners, racing history and current where-abouts. |

HDT4 VH 1982: Brock's AEC ride and Bathurst Winner 1983: Continued as Brock's car during the ATCC, Became Harvey car for AEC, Won Bathurst again, Sold to Andrew Harris for remaining races 1984: Raced by Harris during year and at Bathurst 1985: Was this car then raced by Wayne Clift?? HDT5 VH 1983: Brock's AEC car that seemed to fail often 1984: Driven by Brock in ATCC and AEC till debut of VK's at Sandown 500 HDT6 VK 1984: Brock's Sandown and Bathurst Winner, won the remaining AEC races, then came second at AGP support race at Calder HDT7 VK 1984: Harvey's Sandown and Bathurst car As you can see, I have alot of race history but not much of an idea where they are now. I am aware that Peter Champion and the Bathurst Museum have the two VK's and there is a debate raging still as to which is which. But what about the other cars? And does anyone know anything about the Roadways cars? |
