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

Was down racing at Bathurst on the weekend and dropped into the Motor Racing Museum between races. Unfortunately only one Sierra there, one of Longhursts cars.

This is the 1988 Bathurst winner.Built by Longhurst/Gardiner with parts sourced by Mezera as Frank "still had Eggenberger scalps hanging from his belt". Was Freeport livery for ATCC and Amscar that year then subsequently Ken Mathews Caltex car run at Simmons Plains (closest car in workshop photo). (CXT #3). As stated was purchased by B&H repainted in their livery and donated to Museum quote:

Got wireless up yesterday as Telstra reckon I am in the sticks.
Good news Mezz is on a truck somewhere between Cardiff and my yard and Ned is chained to the drill press ready for cleats to arrive. Has YB bolted itself together yet?[88]
Will have another crack at uploading pics in between blur of green nappies and bottles, but i apologise for spending less time on the porn and more time swinging spanners.

Does anyone know if Rob Tweedie ever sold the ex Tim Harvey car, or is it still for sale? http://www.ibcholdings.com.au/cars/sierra_1990/index.html

Unfortunately the MY105 site can be woefully out of date at times and I know that Labatts car has been for sale for ages.
It's a shame that Brett is selling his car, he's only done the one event in it since it was put back together. If I had the money, id have any of them. Still wish I had of bought your old white car Matt to turn into a track car :(

Id love all three aswell!! The Sierra is the first racing car I remember seeing. I remember in primary school there was a shell service station next door & Dick Johnson had one of his Sierra's on display there. It would have been around 1992 & I was around 7 But I still remember having a look at it after school. Heres a few pics
