Another George Fury Dr30 Is Back Racing In Historics

[cazz]

The race sheets on my car and Gavins car say that his was the 1986 car, and mine was the 1987 car. Gavins car was originally in the old Peter Jackson colours.

Years ago, pre 1996, I saw this car and another heading North towards Gympie. There had been a press report of their sale.

Exactly my point!

Have you got video footage of this car other than at Bathurst, because I have The Great Race Turbolent Era DVD & The Great Race 1987 video and I cant see this car in anything other than Oz delivered S2 tail lights.

And the promo brochure for the '87 #30 car shows it with a front strut brace.

Cheers, D

My car has never been fitted with a front strut brace, coz the roll cage extends into the engine bay and bolts up to the strut towers. My car has a completely different roll cage in it due to it being the only one that ran on radial tyres.

I have seen footage of my car with hotplates. The books on the car (handwrttien Gibson Books) have listed in early 87 when the bootlid was reinforced (the bootlid had the reinforcements cut out for the refuelling spots, and CAMS said it had to have reinforcement when it was scrutineered), and at the same time the lights were changed after a fairly major rhs tap at Amaroo.

Cazz,

I have the promo brochure, with the car in 87 livery & it has a picture of the motor including an strut brace. It may be the year befores picture along with engine specs, but why would FG do that. I don't know, you have seen the pics with your car with hot plate tail lights, but was it your car or Gavin's car, because it is Gavin's car that competed up to Sandown and then Bathurst, as I'm led to believe.

You have all the records, what does the log book say, when did your car compete prior to the Sandown 500 enduro that GF won.

Didn't think they would bring good stuff to Perth.

[R34]

Once apon a time they did

Now that the V8 taxis aren't coming to Perth shouldn't it be renamed the Two Thirds Australian Supercar series ? (by area)

I forgot to say they were on the back of a truck. I remember the Peter Jackson decor.

Doing what you could be doing around Wakefield and enjoying it???????

Must have been a dry day for the GT40 to come out, as it doesn't like the rain. You need a rain coat or umbrella to sit in it when it's raining to stay dry, coz it leaks like a sieve.

And haven't seen an 105E Anglia for years. I used to race against them with 289 V8's in them at Warwick Farm. Was this car V8 powered?
