HOLDEN CV6 MONARO My old work colleague purchased a CV6 Monaro brand new! At the time we would stir him up, claiming that he could not afford the V8 version. The irony is that he eventually sold the car for a new black Clubsport R8, but you just never see the CV6 Monaro on the road in 2025.

FORD SIERRA RS500

So often when investigating the fate of old racing cars we find a sad ending to their existence. Fortunately for the car known almost universally as the Caltex Sierra, this one didn't die at the hands of some backmarker with more money than talent. It even found an owner with the vision and resources to fund a full restoration, which was completed in 2019. Even without competition history and this car's famous driver pairing of Colin Bond and Alan Jones, RS500 Sierras have become valuable, with good ones starting from $250,000.

JOHNSON'S TURBO VISION

It's a reasonably well-circulated theory that the mighty XE Falcon Grand Prix Turbo was a fairly desperate attempt to give Ford a chance at fielding a car in Australian touring car racing, moving forward from the axing of the Falcon V8 with the end of the XE model.

ALFA ROMEO SPIDER 1966-94

THE SHAPE introduced at Turin's 1966 Motor Show survived 28 turbulent years with just one significant restyle. Appropriately for a twin-cam, two-seat car it was called 'Duetto', and the man who won the competition to choose its name was rewarded with one of the first-built examples.
