If #369 was finished in July, why was there so much drama in homologating these cars in time for October Bathurst ? They only needed the 200 minimum build.

Dr Terry
500 sales is what was needed to race.
Mine was sold straight away.
If you ever read about #369 you will see it was built as a regular Group A but everything (sunroof, C Pillar, wheels, leather trim, footwell lighting, cruise control etc) was all fitted on site at Notting Hill by request of the owner after it was originally fitted with "standard" Walkinshaw equipment. Owner didn't take delivery until after it was completed. I don't remember the cost but something like $70k in 1988.

My old one is also on this website link from when I owned it.
