19.01.2022 When you think of high-performance Valiant Chargers, you think of those triple webered E49's. Did you know there was an E48? Ours is one of only 16 VJ charger 770 6 packs built and has less than 12,000km on the clock! The 265 CI 248BHP engine features triple webers and 4 speed box and a suregrip 3.27 heavy-duty differential. ... Our version is super original and we hold the original sales invoice and rego label. Our car was featured in Survivor Car Australia car magazine. She is a real sleeper!

18.01.2022 RIP Peter Brock. 14 years ago taken from us in a crash in WA. We celebrate your legacy.

14.01.2022 Next Sunday the 18th of October will be a special day for Holden fans. The last day officially that Holden races and sat Bathurst too. Racing has always improved the breed and we can't help but think that next week we will lose just a bit of our national identity. Thank you Holden for your wonderful cars.

12.01.2022 Our Escort is one of the ultra-rare "German" RS 2000's. Our example is a personal import and has had a nut and bolt restoration. 25 were imported to Australia in 1976 by Ford to homologate for racing and rallying, with many enjoying class wins and Bathurst and wins on rallies. The Australian RS 2000 sold from 1979 was not specified like the German examples. The car was originally delivered in Scotland.

07.01.2022 OUR 1985 500 SL MERCEDES BENZ ROADSTER CONVERTIBLE Why would you want to spend more than 10 times the cost of a Holden SL Commodore top of the range car in 1985? Also, why would you want to travel to the other side of the world to take delivery of your new car? The answer would probably be because you couldn’t get one in Australia, you appreciated German motor vehicle technology, you wanted the best two-door roadster that money could buy and you could afford it! Since being ...collected by the original owner from the Munich Daimler Benz factory on the 24th June 1985 this RHD version travelled through Europe with its first service in Paris. From there it was driven to the UK where the pride and joy vehicle was shipped to Papua & New Guinea. What an experience that would have been for the business owner who later imported the car with their return to Australia in 2007. From 2014 two collector enthusiast owners have realised the collectability of this high-end luxury and performance classic and have driven the car seldom for maintenance purposes only. This is the story behind this very original gold convertible that has now only travelled 50,000 km and would arguably be one of the lower kilometre and better examples today in Australia, if not the best. The original invoice describes the roadster hardtop fitted with a 5000cc fuel injection petrol engine matched to an automatic transmission, finished in champagne metallic paint with MB Tex Leathrette Trim. Options are exhaustive and include Becker Mexico Radio Cassette, limited-slip differential, anti-lock braking system, sump guard, left exterior mirror electric to adjust, paint set, glove lock, electric aerial, rear seat with 2 belts MB Tex, air conditioning, tinted glass, alloy wheels, tropical battery high capacity and fire extinguisher. Being capable of 220 kmh, this gem was ordered at a time when the only Australian delivered SL Mercedes convertible was the smaller 280 SL six-cylinder or smaller V8 380 SL litre version with a top speed of 195 kmh and 205 kmh respectively. SL stands for Super Light and the lighter aluminium boot lid and bonnet contributed to the weight being retained at only 1540 kg. Later years saw the 560 SL produced which was also made available for Australian delivery. Despite it having a larger capacity due to a slightly longer stroke it was detuned for emissions and was less powerful than the 500 SL. The car has had a very protected and sheltered life demonstrated by the excellent condition of its original paint, glass, and trim. It is a true survivor with its documentation and books. It is one of a kind pagoda with a removable hardtop and soft-top convertible. If you are ever questioned about why these cars are so expensive you should be aware that when the top comes down the price goes up!
