Started on pole position. Including pit stops, no-one got in front of Peter and Jim throughout the whole race. Finished 6 laps ahead of the nearest competitor. Set the lap record on the last lap. A lap record that stood until 1981 and a race record that will never be beaten. Kept by Peter Brock until 1992, purchased by us in original, unrestored condition in 1996. This beautiful survivor exudes spirit and is the reason we started making car care products based solely around vehicle preservation.
