78 Bathurst 1000

[Rob 18]

One of my all time favourite DJR cars, the 1978 XC Irish Cobra as I've always called it, had a fair dent in the front at the end of the race (remember all the race tape), who was the driver he hit at the end of Conrod? CH 7 used it on the promo's for years.

I think it was peter Williamsons Celica, and the resulting chaos saw a team member attcking Willo's boot lid to get to the fuel filler

That's the one Doug! And with an axe of all things. Imagine them doing that these days.

That's what you get when you whistle down the inside of a brakeless Falcon at the end of Conrod and move over on him

DJR entered 2 cars for the 78 Bathurst 1000, who drove the 2nd XC Coupe?

 

[Henry]

John French and Warwick Brown.

From where was the 2nd coupe sourced?
