Dad sold the car to jack beedham at redcliffe. I don't know the sons name but they told me they raced one, I thought it was speedway ???

The guy was Andrew Bartholomew and he was only 18 back then. I don't know how long he had owned it or where he got it from.

did a brisbane sporting car club sticker belong to the rear bumper when you owned it rosco?

Yeah iv'e been a member on and off for 35 years. Not so much now as i don't compete any more just build and maintain cars for others, although i am almost finished a '74 SAAB 99 for myself.

Hi Rosco
This is it as she sat 26/09/10 at the Jap nats, It won 1960/69 best restored at the jap nats a few weeks ago. It has a twin cam isuzu engine now and still runs the original g/box and diff untouched. The interior has been redone with saas front seats. All original engine mounts seat mounts remain so it can return to stock if needed. When it returned to us it had rust in the sills and they were replaced in the early 90s when late model tail lights were fitted and it was painted. It sat in storage incomplete and the resto was back on track in 2008. It was in top condition when it hit the road in 2009 but it had a few chips in the paint ect from sitting in sheds for eighteen years so I had it resprayed a couple of months ago. It was rubbed back only to find 1 small bubble of rust.

The GT in question was always parked over the road from Maxxum Motors,next to Perry park near Newstead, is that when you owned it Rosco??

Yes, i worked for maxims all those years ago.

forgot to mention i would not have belived it is the same car, you've done a fantastic job!

Nice one - congrats on the trophy.
