Well it's a bit embarassing to admit that I had trouble sleeping last night - kept thinking I might be seeing THE BATHHURST coupe today! It's amazing how these cars get into your blood.
The present owner - top bloke too - has had the car since '88 when he picked it up as a rally car (well done Stirling). He converted it back to hard track and had much success with it. It
did originally pull 11000 down Conrod Straight at 129mph. It is apparently pretty unscathed despite being barrel rolled at Surfers Paradise before present owner got it. He is going to
restore it back to original 1973 specs and doesn't plan on racing it as intensively as he did due to its history. The only thing he noticed was that the rear was definitely widened -stuck a
back seat in it and there was plenty of space either side - again well done Stirling! I'm wondering if they did the front as well? The chassis and driveline were blue printed at the
factory.
Unfortunately I didn't get to see the coupe as it was at another location. I told the owner about this club so hope he'll check it out and post pictures etc.
