Audi A4 Jones / McConville

[ferrari fan]

I would like to ask ,If someone out here on the forum can tell me some info on a model that I have but seem to not be able to find out when and where it raced and what happened to it.
The model in question is a UT 1/18 #39871 Audi A4 Jones McConville#01 1998
It seems that this actual car never raced in the 2 litre series
This one is all silver and not silver/red
It has got yellow mirrors and ORIX fleet&finance ,BOC ,snap on tools ,Biante and the number has AMP above it.
This indicates that it was a car for Bathurst 1998 but I do not seem to be able to find a result for it in that year
the paintjob is also not as the normal racing Audi's from the Jones stable
most intreging to me
thanking you in advance for your reply and effort to awnser my maybe silly question:confused:

Well ferrari fan,
This car finished third in the 1998 Amp 1000 behind Jimmy Richards/Rydell in the Volvo and Steve Richards/Matt Neal in the Nissan.
Also it is a interesting model because it did run a different colour scheme for Bathurst.
At the start of the year they changed from a red/black colour to a silver with the Audi logo on the side.
For more references get the:-
1998 2L championship video and
1998 AMP 1000 video
Cheers

From memory the car was a European factory race car which i think had been driven by Frank Biela & was leased to Brad Jones specifically for Bathurst, it was not one of his own cars
