Photos of Bathurst Marina & V8 Marina

Post by dazza2623 » Sun Apr 13, 2008 12:25 pm

Hi everyone,Just to let you all know that I have finally pulled My finger out & given the photos of the Race Marinas to Adrian to scan & put on the site.The V8 sadly does not exist anymore & the 6 was stripped of it's parts to be rebuilt because was rusted beyond repair.We have all the bits & a new body shell.When it hits the track though it will not be an also ran,it will be competitive.Triple 45 webbers,LSD,4 speed,& as the guys who drove it at Bathurst know the handling will be excellent.Go to the Oz marina section of The P76 site (www.leylandp76.com).I have a question for you.Are these two cars Leyland Australias only true performance cars He He He He ?
A very big thanks goes to Neil Byers(he is the lucky bugger sat in the V8) for lending me the photos.
Marina 6 one day,V8 the next

Nice shots!

Shame about the V8 man that sucks! I like the front splitter on it!

:D Adrian has hunted up a couple more photos of the V8 Marina in action with Allan Moffatt's Mustang on the Oz Marina site.
