BATHURST LEGENDS GATHER IN SHEPPARTON
Inspired by a work of motoring art, Shepparton Motor Museum curator Graeme Balfour has managed to draw together one of the finest collections of legendary Bathurst race cars ever seen in one location.
For years Graeme has been adding driver signatures to a print of Panorama of Legends – a work by Classic Lines Artist Mike Harbar. Every time Graeme walked past the print he also dreamed a little more about a future exhibition for the Museum. “We've always thought that we'd love to put that collection together and then 18 months ago I had a visitor who owns the George Fury Bluebird and he offered the vehicle to us if we ever wanted to do a display,” Graeme said. “Then another visitor came through and while he said nothing at the time he wrote a nice email and attached a photo of his vehicle with an offer to loan it and that was the start.”
When word got out that Graeme was going ahead with a Bathurst Legends exhibition the phone started ringing as current owners of the historic race cars and their famous drivers rallied to the cause. “I was completely overwhelmed by the enthusiasm,” he said. “We normally aim for 12 vehicles in a theme but I had offers of up to 30 cars within a matter of days and many of the original drivers have contacted me and want to come down and be a part of it. "John Goss rang from Queensland and he has either the Tom Walkinshaw Jaguar or the Falcon coupe which are in the Bathurst Museum and he either wanted to send them down or come down himself. Amongst the 25 cars featured in the exhibition we have the 1983 Dick Johnson & Kevin Bartlett Greens Tuf Falcon. This is the actual car secured from Andrew Harris after that disastrous crash in the top 10 shoot out. We also have what is undoubtedly Holden Dealer Teams most famous XU1 Torana. First appearing in the 1970 Hardie Ferodo 500 driven by Colin Bond. It then appeared as a rally car for 1971/72, then a rally cross car and sports sedan. From the Gibson Motorsport camp we have Jim Richards 1990 ATCC (Australian Touring Car Championship) winning Nissan Skyline HR31.”
Graeme isn't one for grandiose statements but he's been told by plenty of people that the exhibition is one of the most historically important gatherings of racing metal ever put together in Australia. What he is certain of is that the collection resonates with visitors.
“Visitors always talk about Bathurst, whether they are five year old kids or up to 80 year olds, they all know about the great eras through the 60s, 70s and 80s when the car’s racing on Sunday you could see in the showroom on Monday, it just resonates with a lot of people. They all know about Jane, Brock, Richards and Moffat.”
Don't miss your chance to see the Bathurst Legends at the Shepparton Motor Museum, Emerald Bank, Shepparton, Victoria.
The three month exhibition will run until the end of June.

Ravo #1 at Ravenswood, "Chrome Bars on Calder"
30th Jan, 2016 - 6pm till late
"Chrome Bars on Calder" have organised an on-going event at the Caltex Service Centre on the Calder Freeway at Ravenswood. Apart from an impromptu meeting there on Saturday 16th Jan (about 30 cars), this will be the first one. A couple of us went to the meeting on the 16th and were impressed by the turnout. Some pics here. Styled along the lines of Saturday Night Live on the Eastlink in Melbourne, this event has the potential to be massive. The Melbourne event is on every Saturday night and attracts several hundred vehicles.
The Bendigo event may be held every month, or even every two weeks depending on demand. It will be open to all types of motor vehicles, motor cycles, trucks, buses as long as the vehicle is older than 1985. Spectators are welcome to bring their daily driver but are asked to park away from the display vehicles.
Custom Addictions members are invited to come along from 6pm with their classic on the night, or just come for a look.
