This 6.0-litre Jaguar XJS is both pure-bred and feral. It’s a rare breed of Historic Sports Sedan in being prolifically raced for much of its life but surviving unmolested today. It’s profiled in depth in issue #88 of Australian Muscle Car magazine.
Invited cars for the ‘Sports Racing Car Invitational’ demo come from the ranks of historic Sports Sedans, GT cars, plus Can-Am, Le Mans-style and Big Banger sportscars. Watch this space for more announcements.
It’s 30 years since the VL Commodore Group A’s launch and the 2016 Masters will see a big continent of the red beasts on display.
The VL Group A is the car in which Peter Brock won his ninth Bathurst 1000, in 1987, and the machine that Allan Moffat and John Harvey drove to victory in the first ever World Touring Car Championship event.
The VL Group A model’s starring role in the Feature Muscle Marque display and parade will also mark the 10th anniversary of Peter Brock’s passing.
Cars from the Australian 5.0-litre Touring Car Association will hit the track for a series of ‘spirited demos’ at the 2016 Masters. These are the earliest ‘Supercars’ – original machines from the 1993 to 2002 pre-Project Blueprint era in period liveries. Such cars are starting to come out of the woodwork and joining their Commodore and Falcon brothers on-track at major Historic meetings. Heritage Hot Laps will be rested for 2016.
