Rover P6B with chrome moly roll cage. Painted in Shell racing teams colours. This car is essentially rebuilt from the Camel/Shell Rover as constructed in 1972 at Manton Motors in Melbourne. The original car was modified extensively over the years to the extent that too much metal was removed from the structure, therefore it was necessary to donor A, B and C pillars and base unit but retaining all of the original light-weight panels, F5000 front suspension, framework in engine bay to hold the motor in place including a thick alloy engine plate as used in F5000 cars of the era. This car was one of the first sports sedans built to the new 1972 regulations and is the forerunner of the current V8 Supercars and during its racing life was a top 10 car. There is an extensive collection of photos and motoring journal write-ups to accompany the car.
