Following a rule change, and also due to the replacement of the cars in the market place, the 2-door Ford Falcons and Holden Toranas were replaced by 4-door Falcon XDs and the Opel based, but heavily modified for our conditions, Holden Commodores.

1985 saw a change to international Group A rule for the Australian Touring Car Championship and Bathurst 1000. With fewer Australian brands on the grid, the local model manufacturers has less to offer, so a few more Holdens before getting back to my comfort zone!

Unfortunately for you Tom, we are heading into mainly Australian Touring car territory. There will be a few Alfas to break the monotony though

This was the classic Holden Racing Team livery Jeff. With GM-Holden's logo being a lion, their official racing team carried a stylised lion's head along with a racing driver's helmet for many years. the colours changed as naming sponsors came and went, but the basics remained the same. Unfortunately I cant' show you any more as from now on we are in Ford territory.

When local touring car racing rules switched to being primarily Ford and Holden V8s, I hung around for a while but then started to lose interest. This made it easy to stay away from 1:43s of these cars, but I did end up adding a few 1:64s for old times sake

True to form though, there are a few more Alfas in this part of my collection as well.

I probably haven't added any of these little 'uns for close on 10 years Jeff, although a handful of Matchbox/Hot Wheels Alfas may have been added more recently!

The Minichamps is much better than the Kyosho, but then again it was about twice the price if I remember correctly.
