LJ Torana XU1 - 50th Anniversary Around Australia Classic Car Rally
Australian Muscle Car Sales is proud to support Graham and Sharon Brown, fundraising for Prostate Council Foundation of Australia charity and who have entered their 1972 GTR XU-1 Torana into the 50th Anniversary Around Australia Tour. This amazing event celebrates the career of National and International race driver Peter Brock (1946 - 2006) who famously won the annual Bathurst Classic a record nine times! Brock's first win in 1972 was in a GTR XU-1 Torana, the vehicle identical to those entered into the Around Australia event. With 12 other Toranas participating this year it's sure to be a great trip covering a HUGE 12,000km trip, These classic vehicles (now over 50 years old) will complete their trip over 22 days. What a trip! The 12,000 kilometres travelled for the Around Australia Rally (ROUND THE BLOCK FOR BROCK) starts September 14th with cars returning to Bathurst for October 5th 2022. The second element of this mammoth event will be completion of the 2022 Bathurst 1000 starting October 6th and finishing October 9th 2022. Fun for all fans, especially GTR XU-1 enthusiasts is sure to be had - with an additional 80 Torana GTR XU-1s onsite for this iconic event, with plenty of trackside displays, functions, on track parades and much more!
