1985 Toyota Corolla FXGT:

Greg purchased this car in 2006 and has successfully campaigned it for over 7500 race kilometres with an enviable finishing record – reliable just like these cars were at Bathurst! The car has raced on every race track in New Zealand, except one. In 2014 the 4AGE motor was bored/stroked to 1750cc to become what is known as a 5AGE. It produces a moderate 195bhp at the wheels through a Levin 6-speed gearbox.
