oh yeah it does drive but not well. has no brakes and doesn't idel. i don't think it has the race engine in it, looks like a stock 3K but it definitely is a ex Bathurst race car it's owned by Toyota Australia

 

thanks guys enjoy the pics and feel free to pop in a take a look.

ex bathurst with that interior?

sweet to see but i think the motors were't modified due to the rules of bathurst

They were very different times.

 

Where is this?

Oh very nice!

This would be in Adelaide and I think its in the new Toyota showroom on West Terrace yeah?

As you see, they were basically standard cars.

 

Interestingly, when you read the article in that post, they keep going on about problems with pre-ignition, harshness of ride and so on, so you have to wonder how standard they were.

 

I hope this gets exhibited in Melbourne. As usual, bloody Adelaide get everything....

I'm guessing you're not too excited about the see through service area Matt?? I drove past a week or so ago looks pretty wanky what they are doing :hmm:

Think it used to be displayed at the museum at Bathurst.

 

Yeh kiddies, back in the day, Bathurst racers were meant to be showroom stock, although there seemed to be some interesting interpretations of "stock".........
