Looks nice!! Need the grille though.

The following are the IRS cars: 3500 (Red World Press Car / Director) - Currently in Sydney who also owns 3512 3512 (Blue World Press Car / Director) - Currently in Sydney 4000 (Director) - The one that Brockie launched at his official unveiling 4117 (Red Director owned by Blair Warren who recently had for sale for around $300K...and you guessed it...no takers....) 4136 VL Sport (Medium Mulberry in colour and currently in bits at a panel beaters in Melbourne) The Monza I don't think counts as it came with standard IRS anyway from OPEL.

I'm sure there's also a white aero with IRS too...? Corsa?

Anyone have a build number for this Bathurst magazine car at all? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Correct but that car started life as a Sport. there were a few Sports and also a Bathurst Aero model with the IRS.

I believe that it may have been documented under a different model name. Corsa

I think it might of been a 5.6 stroker Bathurst, there was a couple of white ones and a couple of them were called Sandowns but that's not one of them.

Out of HDT 12-04-1987 - Started its life as a White N/A Executive then converted to a White Director as a development car. It's now is a Silver Slate AERO. On another forum it's known as "The Chameleon" given its had many identities. Dropped off my list when I filtered on my spreadsheet. Can't forget this one! I.R.S decal on the boot from my reference pic. As a side interest point Dave Whitehead (Brock's right hand man if you don't know the name) has mentioned in the past that this was probably Brock's fav car and "considered it his baby". She underwent three engine and transmission swaps, then had IRS added and finally a change of colour. ---------- Post added 21-06-11 at 06:18 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by Boyracer [View Post] Anyone have a build number for this Bathurst magazine car at all? Same car featured in Modern Motor as well. It's after 4200 for sure as it's a VL Bathurst. Signatures came in the 4100's during late 1987. Then after that in 1988 came the Bathursts, Sandowns, Bathurst Aero's and I'm also assuming the Mt Panorama. 4230 is a VL Bathurst (blue) so I reckon around this number for sure. I of course exclude CUG395 from this statement. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

some real nice cars in this thread. hope to own one, one day.

the pics of the i.r.s, what engine is in that car? cause by the looks of the high pressure fuel pump its injected, thought the only injected vl was the walky

it's a 4.9 V8 and 5 speed. not injected but for some reason has the EFI style fuel filter under there.

Is more likely that Sin was referring to the Sport that i mentioned earlier rather than #3530 as the Sport was the car well known in the Club scene for many years. The Plus Packs and some other Brock VL V8's had upgraded fuel systems that used some parts from the fuel system of the injected cars. Corsa
