Without any research Henry I'll have a guess.
Torana. Raced early in his career
Escort. Rally car, early 80's
FJ. That what started it all
Cargo. I think DJ won the first ever truck race in Australia
EH. Raced in Qld before Torana
Thunderbird. Raced in US & at thunderdome
Alfa. Raced at Amaroo park.Remember DJ giving Bond the finger?
Monaro. ?????????????????
Commodore. ?????????????????
Monza. Sandown 84
TR-7. Amaroo early 80's
Cortina.?????????????????
RX-3 1980
Laser. 12 hr Bathurst
Mustang.85,86
Maserati.??Targa Tasmania??
XY Perth against Brock a couple of years ago.
RX-7 12 Hr Eastern Creek
XR-4 ??????? Have a feeling he raced one in NZ.
Camaro ?????????????????

I'll say the cars he has'nt raced
Commodore, although he came close
Cortina,
Camaro,
Monaro, though he had one as a road car, I don't believe he raced one.

I don't remember Bondy getting the finger, but I know that the Alfasud series WASN'T the first time DIck drove an Alfa -- John French's car tried its best to immolate him at Bathurst in 1974 too! To my knowledge, Dick has never raced: a Commodore, a Monaro (like Rob says he had on as a road car, but traded it on a Statesman - gasp - as the Munro was a pain with the kiddies!), a Camaro, or a Sierra XR-4. He punted a mate's Mk 1 Corty at a meeting recently (shared it with the owner -- it was one of his longtime friends from way back when, but the name escapes me

Sorry mate! forgot about the Corty, that was last year wasn't it.
If you remember the Alfa series at Amaroo Henry, early 80's, DJ & Bondy went into the last round pretty close on points, Dick was leading on the last lap and Bondy gave him a touch just as you crest Bitupave hill which put Dick on his roof. Needless to say Dick wasn't amused.

I knew that he rolled the TR-7.. one of several worthwhile things to do with a TR-7 :D I can think of one more rollover Dick had in his career... when? where? how? Anybody?

Surfers enduro, leading on corrected time after Brock was given a 60sec penalty, only a few laps to go when the brakes failed on the old XD & she slid off the track & gently rolled on it's roof in a ditch.
Also of note was that they had the XD repaired & raced at the GP support race at Calder the following week in which he finnished 2nd to Brock.

That's the one. It amazed me that it came back from that little bingle with no real dramas: while cars these days can be repaired to good-as-new condition from some horrifying shunts, back then once they were dented, they never seemed to come back the same
