The Original Willment Escort Twin-Cam
What a special car this is! Part of the incredible John Willment Ford fleet, this was the first Willment Escort Twin-Cam. Mike Crabtree raced the car in the British Saloon Car Championship before it went to New Zealand, to be driven by Jim Richards. This cars story is amazing!

Old Blue Datsun 1200 Restoration - Part 8
Просмотров 373Месяц назад
I honestly can't think of any reason why you'd actually watch this one. Basically, I remove some old paint from a striker plate and show you some wiring that looks like a vipers nest. But I make it all appear a little bit interesting by dubbing some music over the top.
The Long Lost DTV Viva GT
Просмотров 36 тыс.Месяц назад
This is a bit special! This is one of two factory Vauxhall Viva GTs that became part of Dealer Team Vauxhall. The brainchild of Bill Blydenstein, and driven by the great Gerry Marshall, these cars contested both the British Saloon Car Championship and the B.A.R.C. Osram Special Saloon Championship. Two were built, but only one survives

Grimie's Historic MkI Escort

This incredible MkI Escort has race history dating back to the mid-1970s, and was owned by the same person, Rod Grimwood, for nearly 40 years! In addition, Robert van Gisbergen, father of current NASCAR driver and former V8 Supercar driver Shane van Gisbergen was also an owner. This car is an amazing time-warp, having sat in storage for 30 years, but is now back on the track, cutting laps. Than...

Real-Deal Group 5 Zakspeed Escort
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.3 месяца назад
This mega-machine is a genuine Zakspeed Ford Escort, as raced in the German DRM. It began life as a Zakspeed Group 2 car in 1975 before being rebuilt to Group 5 regs for 1977. It is a rare beast! And really special. And crazy! The DRM produced some epic machinery, and this is a real-deal survivor.

This Car Won The 1972 New Zealand Saloon Car Championship!
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.6 месяцев назад
This incredible Mini won the 1-1000cc class in both the 1971 and ’72 New Zealand Saloon Car Championships, as well as the outright championship in ’72, driven by Rod Collingwood. It has amazing history, and was saved in 1984 by Gerald Fogg, and now owned by Gerald’s son Angus. And while it’s a rich piece of Kiwi racing history, as you’ll see here, its no cream puff. Angus drives the wheels of t...
The Most Important Super Tourer Of Them All

This beautiful BMW 318 was campaigned by Vic Lee Motorsport in the 1992 BTCC, driven by eventual champion Tim Harvey in every race except the dramatic season finale, where his team mate Steve Soper took the reigns. The story of this car and the excitement it produced must surely make it the most important 2 Litre Super Tourer of them all? Thumbnail photo by Jarod Carruthers: jarods...

1971 Trans-Am Two-Five Challenge Championship Decider
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.7 месяцев назад
From the documentary Against All Odds, this is the championship deciding race from the 1971 SCCA Trans-Am Tw-Five Challenger, that went down to the wire between the factory Alfa Romeo GTA and Datsun 510. The two leading factory drivers were Horst Kwech and John Morton, and as the manufacturers all left the popular 5.0 Trans-Am, so the Two-Five took off. So fierce was the contest, the result was...
Le Mans Movie - Musical Scene
Просмотров 5 тыс.8 месяцев назад
Steve McQueen's Le Mans movie was one that placed racing accuracy above dialogue, and reviews from non-racing viewers were mixed. But the racing scenes themselves were ground-breaking. And more-so, adding music to further dramatize the racing action, and mixing music with raucous 12-cylinder sports prototypes of the era was pure genius. Once you watch this scene, the music stays in your head fo...

    My fathers best mate was Brian. Nightingale a Bathurst car racing legend. He drove a RX 7 with Tony Mulvihill and had a famous self dig out, kick the car door in the sand pit moment in I think 1984 or 85. A large man he was great fun to be with me and my brother were 8 amd 9 years old. “ NIGHTO “ was very close with Peter. Rock, we used to sneak in at Oran Park and get kicked out of a Rocky’s tent I remember meeting Alan Grice on a cold Bathurst winter mornings at Bernard’s Bakery in Bathurst. At primary school you would hear all the cars, practice all week. The best memories no phones , BMX’s , swimming in the river and enjoying Ife. Go Bathurst . My father was Colin ( Col ) Preston

And yes the Porsche Salzburg 917 Langheck was faster on the Mulsanne than the Gulf Porsche 917 Kurz. "What do you think of Michael Delaney?"

    hey the car looks amazing, I'm following the restoration since the beginning and it's nice to see progress ! 167hp seems like a lot especially at the wheels. During the heyday in japan they achieved 170bhp on mechanical injection and a12a block, and they were turning to 10000rpm. I reckon you have a a12a block aswell ?

    The race was won by Peter Brock and Larry Perkins of the Holden Dealer Team driving a Holden Commodore. It was Brock's sixth victory, a record, the Holden Dealer Team's sixth win and the first win in the race for a car carrying a Racecam unit. Holden Commodores filled the top four positions, but only after Dick Johnson was disqualified after originally finishing in fourth spot. Brock and Perkins finished a lap ahead of Allan Grice and Alan Browne. It was the second time Grice had finished second but had yet to win. The second Holden Dealer Team Commodore of John Harvey and Gary Scott finished third, equalling the best previous performance of the HDT

I'd suggest (budget be darned) having it disassembled, tanked and having all the internals REM polished and Cryo treated to ensure that little jewel of a transmission lasts another 50 years.
