Congrats. That's fantastic news. The only person happier than you would be your dad I'm guessing.

Are you guy's coming to SA for the Skyline Nationals?

If you don't mind me asking, who bought the 31?

Cheers

yeh pretty sure we will be there.....Terry will have his R32 there as well and Caz with her DR30....not sure about the R31 yet.

Local Sydney buyer.......does not post on here.....his a car fanatic so the car should be kept pretty much how we kept it.....he plans on racing it as well which is a big plus.

Couple of pictures from private practice on Sat at EC.

P.S. It's the DR30's for proper shakedown since 1987.....awesome car...it's like driving a go cart.

i would luv the opportunity to see the godzilla in action (gio or winfield)

steve, i missed out the last time as well when u called me out @ oran park

It's great to know the GIO car has been retained in good hands and will see some track action. I was due to fly down and go to the PI Historics but the arrival of a first born focusses priorities somewhat.... Nonetheless, it'll be great seeing the GIO car out on track again. Congrats on the purchase!

So he new owner of the 31 is the current owner of the Sizzler car....which are for sale ????

The owner of the Sizzler car(Chris Larrosa for now ) owns the last of the R31's as well. Our 31 has gone to a guy by the name of Cary Mc??????. Should have his first race at Lakeside.

FYI, Lakeside should be getting the Winfield and GIO R32, R31, DR30( ) and possibly the Bluebird this year.

I heard it reported that Terry thought AUD$2.5 million was what the #1 Winfield was worth to him due to the car's notoriety as well as success as a Bathurst winner. Doesn't matter how much it may or may nnot worth - the car is irreplaceable (as are all Bathurst winners) and I'd never have enough money to prise it out of his ownership anyway! The GIO car was on ebay before it was bought by Jetwreck. I hope he got the GIO 'transporter' as part of the price because from memory, the transporter was not going to be let go as part of the cost, but required extra.

[Marko R1]

I can see u have a group a gtr in your signature...do u own the gio gtr?

[Marko R1]

Jetwreck - what did u pay for the gio gtr

[Jetwreck]

Mate I don't own it.....sort of......Dad has the title atm....sort of......but if he met with a sudden accident ....lol......I just get to look after, work on and race the toy's with him.....sort of a father son thing(yes we are both absolute car nuts).

This year though it looks like I will be racing the DR30 for an investor....still pinching myself on that one.

The price of the GIO car was about half way to a 7 figure digit with a brand new crate motor and crate gearbox with transfer case plus a whole load of other spares. We set up the sale of his transporter and tow car to the new owner of our old R31(I am going to miss the R31 )so we didn't have to take that.

As for the price of the #5 GMS R32....I guess that comes down to if Terry Ashwood wanted to sell it....atm moment he doesn't so the price would be quite high.

[Marko R1]

I envy your position...your family is sooo lucky to own such a piece of history

1 of my mates who is a mechanic @ at bmw knows of a guy who owns a r32gtr, I think he said it was a pace car painted red and the guy lives in bowral, loves his piss and in his 60's (maybe this is you dad)?

He parks the thing under a carport as he has no space

[Jetwreck]

Ok just a quick post.

The Winfield and GIO R32's, DR30(finally finished ) and Bluebird will be racing this weekend coming at Phillip Island.

If you there come down and say hello.

cheers
