Does anyone have any photos of Murray Carters Group A DR30 from 1987 especially Bathurst and including rear views I already have the photos from Autopics Grateful for any help

This is how it will be restored

[lotus1]

Sorry, this is how it will be restored

[lotus1]

and this

[Roy]

G'day Lotus1, and welcome.

So you are restoring the DR30...awesome. Wouldnt happen to be in Vic wold you?

A friend has photos of cars from Vic rounds of Group A races, i will ask

[lotus1]

Thanks Roy

No in NSW. You might be thinking of Clive Smith. The second photo looks to be at a different time to the first. Not sure where it was taken

This is how the car looks now

[Roy]

Do you have the log books? Le tme know what year photos you are after and i will hit up my friend.

So its been converted to a Sports Sedan...looks cool. But if youwant to restore it to its former condition then you have soem fun weekends ahead

DR30s are cool! Maybe even cooler then R31s!!! But they dont have RB20s so the R31 just pips it accross the line

Got the log books All numbers check out It's the real car. It had a number of parts from GMS incorporated into it over its Group A history

First log booked on 17.9.85 Owned by Murray Carter then Murray Carter and Bill O'Brien then Murray Carter, Matt Whacker, Clive Smith then me

First race 12.4.86 at Sandown. I'll post my prelim research on race history when I get to work on Monday if anyone is interested

Looking for 1987 or 88 photos in Netcomm colours

Any anecdotes or stories about the car would be welcome or comments on its history

At Bathurst probably 1987 it was the subject of quite a lot of in car footage I think because the communication system was fairly new. Does anyone have a copy of that I might be able to obtain or know where I can get a copy

It was also featured (I guess the communication system) in Beyond 2000 Not sure when Does anyone have any info on that programme

Murray Carter was at Sandown today in his Corvette, it lloked as though the car was gaving probs...i was keeping an eye on the guy for the chance to hit him up, but too busy changing springs on the wet muddy ground
