And I wrote the question
JC i thought the first XD was sold to John Donnelly. John English's XD was the ex Allan Moffat XD.
1 Mustang was sold to Ian Love?? in WA which I think is the one DJR bought back & the other stang was sold to NZ. The JPS Mustang was raced at Wellington before the 1986 ATTC so I presume it come home as a spare for for the 86 series & was sold after Bathurst. But I'm not sure if you can count them as a DJR chassis as Dick bought at least one Stang as a race ready package. Remember when it practiced at Bathurst 84 as the #71 white car it still had the old race rubber on it from it's previous life.
Sierras, at least 5
Eb's, I would say 5. The 92 Neal Lowe built EB showcar. The two Ross Stne built EB's for the 93 series, which the #17 car was written off at Bathurst & now sits in the DJR museum as the 94 Bathurst winning EB replica. Was rebuilt by TAFE. So there had to be a new car for the start of the 94 seies which makes 4 EB's & then JB was given a new #18 EB at Eastern Creek I think half way through the Shell series which went on to be the 94 Bathurst winner, so that made 5 EB's from my calculations.
Both EB's were converted to EF's for the 95 series & I think there might have been a new #17 EF somewhere in 95. Bowe wrote the 94 bathurst winning chassis off at PI 1996 & then reverted back to one of the older cars for the rest of the series. They totally rebuilt one of the EF's "The MEGA CAR" for the 1996 Sandown 500 & then they built one new EL for DJ which he debuted at Lakeside 98 in THAT race where he tried to lap Paul Weel. That chassis was sold to Cameron McClean for the 99 ATTC which he won the privateers cup. Was then sold to Terry Wyhoon & is now for sale for about $50000 in Auto Action the other week.
Two new AU's for 99 for the rat & DJ. New #18 for Sandown round of the 2000 ATTC which Paul won and went on to finish second at Bathurst with Jason Bright. Another new #18 for Paul at THAT Adelaide race which Paul tried everthing he knew to try & destroy & Steve was built a new chassis for the Qld 500 which he won with Radisich and as far as I know that was the last AU, so that would make 5 AU's. Last DJ#17 was sold to Andrew Harris (Blue roof AU) after the 2000 Qld 500 & then was raced by Dale Brede in Gulf Western Colours for the 2002 Konica series.
BA's-2. But surely due for a new one.

Sorry.
You are correct about the XD. My Mistake
Mustangs:Correct again.
As far as I can tell Ian Love brought the JPS Mustang and the other Stang went to NZ where DJ crashed it.I remember it T-boning a BMW.
It was rebuilt as I saw it race in NZ in the WTCC in 97 on a tape I have at home.

I've put a bit more thought into it JC. The first #18 Shell EB was sold to John Trimbole, remember the 'Daily Planet' Falcon which I think was then sold to Mike Conway who ran it in 'OAMPS' colours for a couple of years before crashing it heavily at Phillip Island. There was an EF-EL sold to Neil Shemberi who ran it in them awful Bettergrow colours. This was a deal done by Curl Orr who sold Neil a Perkins chassis when Curl was working for Larry. That DJR chassis I think was sold to the UK where it raced in a Thundersport series over there.
I mentioned the first #17 AU chassis was sold to Craig Harris, the first #18 AU, the one that should have won Bathurst 1999, was sold to Ross Halliday & raced by Greg Crick in the Konica series & I think it still races now in the Konica series but who peddles it I'm not sure.

Dave Bowden has a Seirra.
Not sure which one it is though.
For Bowden to have it, it must have some signifigance
I think the Sierra is a classic to a lot of motorsport fans just 12 years after it finished it's motor racing life. Imagine how much of a classic it will be in another 10-20 years. Would that be the latest race car in Dave's collection Bigcol??
Not to sure on that onequote:Originally posted by Rob 18

love to know henry,would be nice in the museum.
Speaking of the museum, Dick now has a FJ to add to his collection which will need a bit of TLC. It will be painted in the same colours that DJ made his racing debut in so many years ago. A Bloody Holden in amongst all them classic old #17 Fords. Wonder whose great idea that one was??
