Bathurst Winners List

[BAM1]

Just having a look for a list of which Bathurst Winners models (Bathurst collection) in 1:18 that have been made, but can't find one
I did find on http://www.biante.com.au/faq_6.htm lists for the Allan Moffat, Peter Brock and Dick Johnson collections - is there a list for the Bathurst cars that I've overlooked somewhere else ?
If not may I suggest adding it to that FAQ list please

Thanks :)

P.S. Does someone know these cars and could list them here please ?

Then you would complain that there was too many models coming out and you could not afford to get them all.:D

[troym]

brock's 1980 Bathurst commodore was a VC not a VB i think, he started with the VB but updated during the year when they fitted a rear spoiler, you can see the original VB on the development approved for 1:43 scale,

[BAM1]

Thanks Terry,

[LC Torana]

troy i think you will find mate that was a vb the vc didn't come out till 1981:gear_wink2:

Brock’s 1980 Bathurst winner was a VC….

There were 13 Commodores in the 1980 event - 8 VC’s and 5 VB’s
All 8 VC’s finished, filling places 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 9th and 10th
2 of 5 VB’s finished, filling places 3rd and 22nd.

the VB that finished 3rd was the lan Geoghegan/Paul Gulson entry....

[LC Torana]

Also there was also a 6 Cyl. VB that was in Class B (2001-3000cc) in 1980, the Alan Taylor/Kevin Kennedy entry that finished 27th, all other commodores were in Class A (3001-6000cc) -

[mick78]

troy i think you will find mate that was a vb the vc didn't come out till 1981:gear_wink2:


No, not so, the VC road car was released in early 1980. Brock and the HDt debuted the VC racing car at Sandown in Sept 1980. Brock in 05; Moffat in 25.

[GTR XU-1]

Can anybody give me an update of the biante bathurst winners list in 1:18 scale please. I know this is an old thread but why start a new one when there is one already started.

I can gaurantee you that all of the above listed cars will be produced by Biante in the future in 1:18 scale. Don't ask for dates as refusal may offend. ;)

The earlier cars are maybe's.

Don't worry; if there's one thing I've learned from the German Consortium of Diecast, it's that scheduled release dates are about as useful as asking Tony Cochrane his views on competitive motorsport...

[Leigh]

That should be enough distraction for Tony for tonight;)

Richard, it would be a crying shame if the earlier cars were not done:cry2::bigcry:

[jar jar binks]

I can gaurantee you that all of the above listed cars will be produced by Biante in the future in 1:18 scale. Don't ask for dates as refusal may offend. ;)

At least we are likely to see these before the Skaife VP!I'll be a pensioner by then.:p

[V8SS]

At least we are likely to see these before the Skaife VP!I'll be a pensioner by then.:p

Skaife VP or VR???

I'm sure there will be some VP's done at some stage. I listed some in another thread on what could be made. I reckon they'd make great looking models. Love those big deep front splitters.

[vikings100]

Cheers,

[sad]

troy i think you will find mate that was a vb the vc didn't come out till 1981:gear_wink2:

No,it was a VC the Vh came out in 1981.

[HDTHSVHRT]

I dont know if this has been mentioned here before, but does anyone know why the 1967 winner, which is IN Transit, is selling for only $124!!!

http://www.biante.com.au/product_16674.htm

[Leigh]

no sponsor royalties;)

Same reason the road cars are generally around the $130 mark.

[fomoco04]

no sponsor royalties;)

Same reason the road cars are generally around the $130 mark.

Hmm, I honestly never thought of that. :o

[Richard Poole]

The website was listed incorrectly. This car has extra royalties applied as both Fred and Harry have signed the certificates. The regular 1:18 race car price applies.

[Oh Five]

Says $179 on my page

[sleepy]

i notice there has been a price change on the firth gibson xr bathurst winner.....

[not happy jane]

i also noticed a change from around the $120 upto the $179 ???

[215i]

Check out the "bathurst winners list" thread fellas. Richard gave the reason there.

[spolyhronidis]

I did a search of the posts and I take it no one has heard yet if the 1985 XJS is going to be released any time soon.

[spolyhronidis]

it's interesting to note that only 3 cars have won bathurst after qualifying outside the top 10. well, upto 2004 anyway. the bathurst history book doesn't continue after this year.

A XJS Grp A car in 1/18th is just about to be/has just been released in Europe. Apparently one of the Spa cars. It can only be a matter of time before a Bathurst version is done.

I can't wait to get the Goss/Hahne 1985 JRA XJS! ......when and if it's made of course :)

[HQGTS74]

hi all just wondering which 1987 bathurst VL are most going to get...the no 10 winner or the 05 car?
chris

[VE II]

I'll be getting the no.10 only, as it was the won. However i believe most will be getting both as they both are equally important. The no.10 doesn't have Brocks name on it, and as much as i'd love the no.5 as well, i only collect one car of each livery and i see no.10 as the winner and the car Brock drove to victory. I don't think anyone would be just getting the no.5 by itself?
It'd be nice of Biante could make an awesome twinset of these two... but i don't believe thats on the cards.

[Skaife fan]

Definately getting both .

[HQGTS74]

i like to collect a few of my favourite brock cars and the 87 VL is one of them along with the 79 a9x and the 84 vk so i will probably get just the 05 car as that was brocks car being the 05 car...i dont know about having the 10 in my collection although its a bathurst winner it wasnt brocks car..but he drove it to victory...:rolleyes::rolleyes:.its a tough one!!!!!

[VE II]

I'd almost get the no.5 as the no.10 on the side isn't straight and it annoys me all the pics!

... HQGTS74 - not all brocks cars had the no.5 on them - like the 72 car and things like that - just a thought.
Whatever car you get is going to be important to you and have a lot of meaning - i guess half the fun... and half the frustration will be choosing which one...

[HQGTS74]

yes i understand that but having two other brock 05 cars in my collection i would like to get 05 brock cars only and since that was the car with his name on it and the car he drove first i may get that one...need to think about it.....

thanks

[VE II]

yeah the no.10 doesnt have his name on it. i was thinking that too when i made my preorder... so only you would really know that he drove it to victory. It definitly is a tough one. Id go no.5 in ur situation (imo) as brock did race it at Bathurst in 87 (it didnt win/finish) but it was still the car brock entered the weekend in and it has his name and number all over it.

[Oh Five]

Spoke to my dealer yesterday and he mentioned that the majority of his pre-orders are for the #10. I ordered 2 x #10 and 1 x #05 months ago.

[HQGTS74]

yep im leaning towards the 05 because i have unknowingly started putting together a brock collection:Dhehe and i dont think i will ever have a bathurst collection as there is so many cars and too expensive although i now have 4 bathurst winners:D
i think i will get Brocky's 05
cheers

[SS Mick]

I'll just get the 1/64 twin pack :)

[HQGTS74]

thanks for that 0h Five...i will probably get the "oh five":D:D...this car means more to me and suites my collection better

[VE II]

Sounds good HQGTS74. At the end of the day the car has to mean something to you and 05 obviously does - so definitly get it!
Im getting the 87 as it was a bathurst winner and i was born that year and brock did drive it, but i do wish it had his name on it...

[Skaife fan]

but i do wish it had his name on it...
It does, across the top of the windscreen. :p:D

[Oh Five]

You mean alot to me too Chris:love: :D
You may have the same problem when the 83 cars come out. 05 only lasted 8 laps then into #25, but at least it still has Brock on the car (phill!!)
Dont 4get that both 87 cars had "BROCK" across the windscreen!!
I hope i have confused you again:D

[VE II]

way to go oh five :p and we just had it all sorted. yeah i know about the Brock across the windscreen - guess that'll have to do :p - it only takes up like 1/2 the front of the car - lol.

[HQGTS74]

thanks for the advice guys...found this in google..will the no 10 have those chickadee wheels??? dont know what they're called:D...the white 5 spokes on the 05 are my piece of cake..

[VE II]

The wheels on the 05 are a lot better - have a look here on the Biante site
http://www.biante.com.au/product_19126.htm
the no.10 has the 5 spokes.... and the lopsided no.10 :mad:

both are awesome looking cars - love the VLs!

... another thing to consider is that this was Brocks last Touring car Bathurst win...

[HQGTS74]

anyone know how far away the VLs are ? cant wait now:)

[VE II]

thats the million dollar question. Was meant to be early this year... a few of my dealers are saying Feb-March next year .... which could easily be October to November... if no 2010... :s .... but more likely to be early next year - they're starting to roll a lot of the Brock cars out so it cant be too much longer!

[Skaife fan]

I doubt well see them this year, hope im wrong though.

[Damage]

Everybody knows I am FANGING for the VL. Its 05 for me after MUCH soul-searching...

The original release date was Nov 07.

[HQGTS74]

next year!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOO..i was hoping this year..hopefully the vk and vl road cars will be out to keep me happy:)

[VE II]

Ive seen the releases for this year... and its DEFINITLY not on there :( sorry... If i get to see the releases for Jan-April i'll let you know...

[HQGTS74]

u mean the road cars wont be on there???:(:(:(

[VE II]

oh no the road cars are!
Obviously subject to change
but:
VK Alpine White - Sept
VB Sandlewood - Oct
VC Balck over silver - Oct
VK Blue - Nov
VL Red - Dec

[HQGTS74]

thanks, after seeing the silver VK i will definately get a white group 3 and the blue meanie ofcourse, along with the vl group a and the 05 car:)

[malscar]

and (http://and) the lopsided no.10 :mad:


Do you want accuracy or aesthetics?

I have both on order.

[VE II]

of course i want accuracy! im more annoyed at the people back in 1987 who didnt do it right - just the ocd coming in to play.

[Kashmir]

I wish they would be released soon, oh well more time to throw some money together:D

[Damage]

Lets hope the tail lights are better than the 84 VK...s

[vikings100]

I only need 4 more to be update to date (69/72/81/02), and I should be getting the "72 next week.

Cheers Greg:)

[Skaife fan]

and doesn't have 4x4 suspension. :D

[Damage]

Here here. If those two thing are all good I;ll be head over heels.

[HQGTS74]

just preordered the #05 Brock 1987 VL Commodore:):):)

[Oh Five]

Here ya go Chris, Not 1:18 but just to wet ya appetite:p

[HQGTS74]

oooo very nice mate! they look fantastic..are they dinkums?

[Oh Five]

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k294/Hocko5/IMG_ 5781.jpg?t=1219555528

[HQGTS74]

what year is that red VH? is that 83 and is that also a dnf car?

[Kashmir]

cc VK's certainly put those ones to shame:p

[VE II]

They look good!!!! HURRY UP 2009!
Im dreading september.... i have 5 cars on preorder ... and 4 of them are being released in september... going to be a very expensive month....

[Kashmir]

is Tander's 08 car in that list or is it Skaife's car:p

[Oh Five]

yeh they are the 83 VH's

[VE II]

hahaha ah kashmir. I just read that and burst in to laughter. everytime you post i go away and think about if i want the Tander car or not... and spend hours telling myself to stick with Skaife... Im still not convinced....

sigh you got me thinking again!

[Kashmir]

buy what your heart says, not what your head says:p

[VE II]

I've got Skaife 98 - 07 - so i'll stick with skaife... If the opportunity arises i will get Tander 08 as well ... Championship, Bathurst, overseas bargain. Its such a good livery and it wouldnt hurt having 2 of the same cars ... just this once (but not in the case of the 87 winner). Talking to Tumbo and he suggested that i should start my Tander collection and finish off my Skaife collection at the same time - and not be scared to over lap 1 or 2 years (like start Tander HRT cars 08, 09 and then go on) and get Skaifes 98-08/09 and stop when he retires - sounds like a plan anyway

Sounds like an extremely cunning plan to me !! :D I get this feeling in my water that there may not be an abundance of future "Red2" cars to worry about....???? :D

[VE II]

Yeah, lets just say i'll be a in lot of trouble if skaife stays on till 2015 - as much as i like him. Another 2 or 3 years i can handle :p.

[group C]

for me personally I will be getting the #05 and the #10 as both form part of P.Brock collection:D

[ferrari fan]

What about the cars Skaife drove before like the Nissans?
and what about the Le Mans car?
A collection of a driver is in his case not just commo's

[brchi17]

if the 1/43 scale winners are released, I would be happy to have both VL's
