Thank you for your cooperation.
Firstly, it was the 2nd LC GTR delivered anywhere in Qld thanks to connections with DJ's father & secondly it was the first GTR to race anywhere in Australia. He won the 1970 Qld Touring Car Champiomship in this car also. (where would we be without The Unforgiving Minute??) She's my motorsport bible when it comes to the early days of DJ.
I bought "The Unforgiving Minute" virtually as soon as it hit the shops, as a wide-eyed schoolboy. A mate and I pored over it at the time, and I have just about worn it out since. Another school friend is the nephew of the late John Hough, who is pictured sitting in the 17 Cooper-Maserati which killed him at Lowood (Bill Tuckey dedicated a couple of lines to the incident, and back in the school days, the car was still under one of the family houses).
