Two more historically significant Australian touring car racers have joined the Biante ranks, namely Colin Bond and Bob Morris.
These men achieved fame in both Holden and Ford products, as did Brock and Moffat; even Dick Johnson got his start racing Holdens.
I suppose the logical Bond model cars would be the 1969 Bathurst winning HT Monaro, and some version of his Caltex sponsored Ford Sierra.
In the case of Morris, I'd vote for the now controvertial 1976 Bathurst winning Torana L34, as well as the 1979 ATCC Championship winning ASL/Breville Torana A9X and the infamous race- shortening 1981 Bathurst Bob Jane T-Marts XD Falcon.
The moulds for these car models already exist - the Monaro road car prototypes are on Biante's website - so the future remains expensive for all of us !!!
