They had a great collection there when i went 3 years ago

Good to know people are still going there, museums need all the money they can get

Well done Dan, you've taken some great shots of some really nice machinery.

Cheers guys.

Dick Johnsons Sierra, the Duke and the Norton were my favs.

I still remember watching Bathurst seeing Johnson spin that Sierra around down conrod and was still doing almost 300 in reverse (Edit going backwards).. AWESOME!

Johnson and Bowe had those Sierra's hammering back in the day at Bathurst.

Bring back those days

I never saw the F40 there but there is a guy in Tassie who owns one. Saw it just out of Devenport once (he's not afraid to use it apparently). I assume theres only one in Tassie.

F40 on the roads that Tassie is fortunate to have = Maximum WIN!

That's Chas Kelly, his son races v8's from time to time, that was Gerhard Burgers car originally and Chas wrote it off at Targa Tasmania one year (1992 if i remember correctly)

It had to go back to Italy for a full rebuild!

The DJR Sierra belongs to ACL they also have a Brabham and some other cool stuff at thier office in Launceston!
