I think it's the GGR Listerine car with 'Clifford the Dragon' on-I've seen one in what looks like moonstone and one in black-very nice livery

I think it was recycled after that into the car in the photo and then thundersalooned after that - could be wrong though

I was hoping it was going back to its 'Clifford' days-that is a cool paint scheme

a bit of graham goode history for anyone interested.



my car as pictured here is the graham goode 88 car the white listerline one,

it when was repainted for sean walker for 89 as the FAI car, and as driven by damion hill.

whot suprised me was how few cars graham goode built.


1 87 gun metal grey car ( wrote off in testing late 87)
2 88 white listerline car( my one)
3 88 mike newmans customer car( painted black for 89/90 mike still owns this car)
4 88 black listerline car( grahams own car is now just a shell as most parts where used for mack5 car) graham still has the shell stored.
5 91 mach 5 ( this car is still on dispaly in the graham goode showroom


so five cars one gone for ever and one only a bare shell.

the only graham goode sold is my car.

so even rarer than the rouse cars?

Lovely project indeed.

Out of interest why didnt you keep the car with its thundersaloon arches? As your other cars have it thought it would be a nice change

Martin in the video 'the story of the sierra cosworth' there is what looks like a moonstone Listerine car (no 6) its at 30 mins 46 secs in the google vid here Http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?...ierra+cosworth
out on track on it's own?-was this one repainted as it's not mentioned above-I'm sure you have the vid as its much better quality

Stunning Martin, really great to see another one get the treatment and keep it alive! If it wasn't for people like you....

Any news on the ANZ car you sold lately? What's the guy back in OZ using it for?

Beautiful Martin!!!

Quick question, why do you call it the listerline car? isn't it a Listerine (mouthwash) car?
Does anyone have any clear pictures of the Moonstone Blue Listerine car? I would love to do a copy of that but am not sure if I want to sponser Mouth Wash
Still looks good though. Keep em coming!

listerine was graham goode main sponcer,

and yes its for mouth wash!

the 87 gun metal grey car was listerline sponcered and thats the car most people thing is moonstone, ( evan i did at first )

on the short amount of time in the vids it does look monstone, but i am asured by graham it is gun metal grey,

this car was wrote off as per my list late 87 and some of my mech parts came from it.

Awsome as always mate, The time, money, energy you put in to these cars is fantastic .

But to pick up on Fastmauls point is it not Listerine, not Listerline?
