Given that Biante and CC now have excellent moulds, is there any demand for the following cars (even if they are in low quantities)?
Grice Roadways '84 Bathurst
Kmart '84 Bathurst
Cleland's Vauxhall Thundersports #1
Personally, I would buy the Kmart version as I liked its livery (I can display it next to my favourite KMart livery, the 2004 ATCC version) and the Cleland version, as it is a 'works' livery (and has the Gr. A grille).
Am I going mad being stuck indoors in the rain or do others agree?

I'd love the Grice Roadways SAAS car - always loved that one. Plus it would be good to get more Gricey cars!!!

No, no and no. But I only collect PBs cars so my opinion isn't reflective of the real world

Wouldn't hold my breath waiting for next release, but I would surely think that Biante will get the maximum possible return from the molds for that model car....From memory there's several possibilites with regard for other examples of the same vehicle ??

There weren't too many VK Group 3 race cars from memory.....not including HDT I think Roadways & Kmart were the only other contenders

Lets see,
VK's with Group C Bodywork
Brock, Harvey, Cullen and Grice (5 VK's ran @ Bathurst 84 although Constable Lestor Smerdon's ran Grp C Mechanicals in Grp A Body)
Sports Sedans current, Simon Copping although his car runs a wing
and in the 80's, the Leon Burdon VK although this was a 6 cylinder
There was also the ex Graeme Hooley Grp A VK that in later life sported Grp C bodywork... and currently in NSW a ex Cullen VK with Grp C kit.....

Lester Smerdon...now that's a name from the past. He bought me a beer at the King George one night during the 1984 weekend

Remember the following items are not part of the main mould but 'add-ons'.
Front and rear bars
Grill
Bonnet
Boot
Rear wing side pieces
Now produce the add-ons for a VB, VC VH and just how many GrpC cars can we do?

The VB - VH will have to be done from a whole new mold due to the VK having the extra window behind the passanger doors would they?
