Gibson Gt-r

[gtrtech]

Just scanned this out of old car magazine, thought it may be of interest to fellow admirers of the Nissan/Gibson cars.

I have a few more I'll post up in the coming weeks.

Apologies for the crappy image joining.

Cheers

Great to read that again Thanks for posting!

Nice read

the R32 must have been a revelation when it was released in 1989.

it pisses me off when people compare the earlier GTR's to more modern performance cars without realising how revolutionary they must have been at the time of their release.

even when the R33 was released, it was as fast if not faster than the lower end porsches and ferraris of the day (infact there's an old top gear video doing the rounds which compares said cars).

Anyone remember the Winfield Racing Super Team posters? wouldn't mind seeing that again.

I had this poster as a kid, wouldn't have a clue where it went.

Is that Skaifeys Championship winning Formula Holden in the fore-ground centre?

[R338OY]

Ground-breaking stuff. Great to see the Gibson team pressing hard to learn what we all take for granted when we mod our cars.

Sure is....might be for sale at the moment as well!

Is the collection being broken up? Does Terry still have the cars on display? Haven't spoken to him for ages.

As far as i know the Formula Holden had been de-commissioned as a race car.

[Jetwreck]

Don't know about him completely breaking the collection up, but his R31 the #5 car has been sold to Chris(who also owns the Sizzler Car). The Exa has also been sold and I think the Gazelle might go as soon as it's finished as well....the Gazelle would be a great buy for the 2Lt class...wish I had the money. As for the Formula Fordon I think your right about the de-commission...still alot of people who would like that car though...me for one....pity I'm not a short arse like Skaife though so I can fit in it(punt).

That's a fair bit of the Gibson stuff gone (or going) from Terry. Still has more than enough exotic road/race cars than most of us could imagine and a true gentleman to go with it.

Here's the front cover report from AA from Bathurst '92. Those were the days.

[Rocket_Rosco]

I wonder if Mike Steele ever sold the $100,000 GTR????

looking at the ad on the second page...

[Trust33]

cool.

[gtrtech]

I believe this is the car that was just sold by Terry Ashwood. Would have been a bloody good buy at the time.
