lotus1 Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Thanks Roy No in NSW. You might be thinking of Clive Smith. The second photo looks to be at a different time to the first. Not sure where it was taken This is how the car looks now Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/105747-hr31-wins-all-3-races-at-phillip-island/page/4/#findComment-2108781 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Do you have the log books? Le tme know what year photos you are after and i will hit up my friend. So its been converted to a Sports Sedan...looks cool. But if youwant to restore it to its former condition then you have soem fun weekends ahead DR30s are cool! Maybe even cooler then R31s!!! But they dont have RB20s so the R31 just pips it accross the line Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/105747-hr31-wins-all-3-races-at-phillip-island/page/4/#findComment-2108826 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotus1 Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Got the log books All numbers check out It's the real car. It had a number of parts from GMS incorporated into it over its Group A history First log booked on 17.9.85 Owned by Murray Carter then Murray Carter and Bill O'Brien then Murray Carter, Matt Whacker, Clive Smith then me First race 12.4.86 at Sandown. I'll post my prelim research on race history when I get to work on Monday if anyone is interested Looking for 1987 or 88 photos in Netcomm colours Any anecdotes or stories about the car would be welcome or comments on its history At Bathurst probably 1987 it was the subject of quite a lot of in car footage I think because the communication system was fairly new. Does anyone have a copy of that I might be able to obtain or know where I can get a copy It was also featured (I guess the communication system) in Beyond 2000 Not sure when Does anyone have any info on that programme Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/105747-hr31-wins-all-3-races-at-phillip-island/page/4/#findComment-2108896 Share on other sites More sharing options...
