Caveat emptor with that collection!  Most are replicas and a few of the apparent genuine ones have big question marks over them. 

The 84 winner could very well be the 2nd place car.
Now a few in the know are saying the 05 Sierra is actually a display car, built by the team for shopping centres and promos.  Never driven by Brock.

Yeah, right again.
There's a lot of people not happy with the pedigrees of the various vehicles as you say.
There's also people not happy with the cars being sold separately, not being sold as a collection.

According to Andrew Miedecke, the one being auctioned is most likely one he built, which never raced while he owned it, and was never raced by Brock, but sounds like it was built as a race car, not a display car.
He owns one of the 2 cars bought from Andy Rouse for the 1989 and 1990 Bathursts and the other is said to be in England with a private collector.

Cars can still be very cool even if they don't fly along anymore like they used to

I've been watching a show on Netflix called Car Masters. Traditionalists wont really like it but some of the old cars they rebuild are really good...............well worth a watch

Poor wording on my part. Correct, built as a race car, but only used as an 05 display car.  Miedecke has the Aussie built Dencar Sierra.  The 2nd Rouse car was written off by the the late Barry Sheen in testing.  Hastily rebuilt and then crushed to avoid paying import taxes?

I was only going by the report on Speedcafe. Miedecke says the 2 Sierras were bought from Rouse in England and Miedecke owns one and the other one is in the hands of a british collector !

Its up to each bidder to ensure they are bidding on what they think they are.

Lloyds, Shannon's, and the like, use the info supplied by the seller.

I reckon, in a pinch, I could pass off my Cadillac as a 29,600 mile car, when in reality, its got an extra 1 in front of that.
Now, having said that, you'd be dirty paying top $ for a replica.

Once, it was a game anyone could play, but more so now, the prices have really soared, very much a rich man's game now.

All race cars have an ID plate, so fairly easy to check the history.....IF you see the plate before handing over heaps of cash !!

Brave man!!!!!! Dunno what Delboy would think

Hill climbing can be a dangerous sport, there's the hazard of running off the road into a ditch, a wall or even a tree.

However, for one man this wasn't risky enough, and he climbed the Shelsley Walsh hill, in a Reliant Rialto at the 2018 Retro Rides Gathering.

Replacing the Robin in 1982, the Rialto is another three-wheeled car, and this example has (obviously) been heavily modified.

This is the email I got from the guy that bought the old XK Falcon recently.

"Freddy Falcon has arrived safely to his new home and was registered on Tuesday .
Drove him to work Wednesday for an inspection on the hoist .
Very happy with everything and pleasantly surprised just how well he drives.
Thanks again for everything and your patients in storing him safely before collection .

Regards Peter"

This is one car I was tempted to keep, Shit it was a cracker.
Another happy customer from "Jeeper's Better Bombs Boutique."

I've been aware of the old Lowood International Racing Circuit for some time.... no really, we do have one out here, or we did.

Its really at Mount Tarampa, which is just up the road from our place, maybe 5 or 6 klm away.
Going to go over there today and suss out its layout, if it can be done.

 Clean them up and sell them to an Aussie,  they could probably become quite wealthy compared  other Balinese  .
But then again it seems the asian countries like our old cars .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOs59Zm5nPs
