Oh haha yeah i guess he must have ripped the wing off the front midrace. You must just have piles and piles of old magazines and videos and photos and stuff do you? or where do you get them from.

yeah i been talking to john anderson who owned the car on and off from 82 till 89. and he has given me alot of history and information on the car. BUT I AM STILL CURIOUS AS TO THE WHERE ABOUTS OF THE LOG BOOKS??????
Hi,

Watched it on Ebay nearly bid on it but I have enough unfinished projects. I was a quick car in 79 and 80.
I think someone Donnely owned it in late 80's early 90's and then went to a bloke Silvo for a couple off years. Then went to another guy, who I will ask around where he is. He should have the log book?

PM me your email address and I have some things about the car. Google will help you. I spent a few nights looking before the Ebay aution ended.

i am very curious about these other guys that owned the car after 1989. As they did not much racing as the car has more or less gone off the rader......

i was watching that car aswell, it was also raced/owned by silvestro silveri in the 90's. he fishes with a mate of mine, i will ask if he knows of the logbook and some photos.

when he had it it was bue and flouro pink, at the time he was sharing his workshop with bill nabhan from Rotaction.

the car also raced over in indo when some nsw sports sedans went over to sepang to race against one of the leaders sons, name escapes me

regards

Hey Steve,

Good to hear it is progressing. I found a couple of other clippings and the car actually went from Mike to Mark Gibbs of GIO GTR fame and then I assume it was to Steve Anderson.
