Thanks COS086.

I found my photos of the DJR and Longhurst cars on the weekend, just need to get them off my laptop. I never really noticed that Longhursts car was a left hooker before.


Of all the B&H cars only the first car was RHD. It started out as the white Freeport car, then B&H with white interior, Bathurst winner. Sold to Ken Matthews and run as Caltex car. Sold to B&H, restored and donated to the museum.

The next 2 cars were Wolfe built and a 3rd car was built in house, all LHD.

I have never seen a photo of TL or AJ driving a yellow interior car.

Yes that's DJR6.

The other car was owned by George Nittis at the time, and is car that was once raced by Damon Hill and has since been restored.

Both these cars were at the Power and the Glory meeting at Lakeside in November 2009.

There's a very informative thread about the Group A Sierras over at 10 tenths if you have a hour to kill :)

A bit more info I found about the Moss Security / Damon Hill car:

That car is a Graham Goode car, rather than Rouse. I think it's Goode's 1988 BTCC car, originally raced in white Listerine colours (I'm guessing George Nittis has had it repainted fairly recently, as I'm sure it was in Listerine colours when it first went to Australia). It's now wearing the FAI/Moss Security warpaint from the 1989 season, when it was the Goode team's 3rd car, driven by Sean Walker. Damon Hill only raced it once, co-driving with Walker in a 1-hour/2-driver race at Donington early in the '89 season. Like a lot of Sierras it was later modified for Thundersaloons before later being restored to Group A spec and Listerine livery.

It did come to Oz as the Listerine car. I can't recall the guys the name at the moment, he also has BMW's.

He let Paul Morris run the car at Eastern Creek at MCM and it gave nothing but trouble all weekend, head gasket.

The car did not surface again till Nittis brought it back in the Hill livery.

Here are some photos I have of it.














Martin Johnson desearves a medal for the cars he restored.

Does anyone know where his ANZ car he restored went? (I thought here) freak he had an awesome collection.

That is the car Ingram owns that you have the photo's of.

The car was converted to LHD to compete in the French TCC.

Ingram had to put it back to RHD and put the 7 1/2" diff back in.

Ingram also has the ANZ EGGMO car.

Paul has done a very nice job of this car, he has got a lot resources at his disposal though he is a Cossie wreaker and the RS500 registrar.

Hopefully Kosta will go to as much trouble when he pulls the real one back?

I am lucky enough to have seen pauls car in the flesh twice and source some of the stuff for it.
One thing none of the photos ever show up is the absolute perfection of finish and detail on this car,even his 3 RS500 road cars are on another level
