Like Paul, I was very tempted to buy this when Martin dropped it down to 34k on racecarsdirect, but always had that nagging doubt about how much I could ever really use it.
It would have to be trailered everywhere, you would be scared of the muppets in shitters clouting it on trackdays, and up close these old girls have had a hard life and not that pretty if they have not been restored.
In the end I did not waste Martins time going to see it, just bought some wheels off him instead, but I also kind of regret it now prices have rocketed beyond my toys budget.

it dropped only for about a fortnight when he had the ANZ and GGR cars also up for sale, so I assume he had another car lined up, it then went back up to 38k when I think the ANZ car sold.
I have 2 sets of those wheels now as per our recent convo, just need some inners to make them up.

Hi Mike and all,
The great thing about the Tim Harvey car is that it has never been restored, it is as it finished it's last race, the current owner visited me from Australia 2 week's ago, genuine 500 race car's are worth a lot of money in Australia due too a very good historic race series for these and similar car's, where here in the UK the correct historic championship banned them, probably due to the owner's of other touring car's knowing they would be outpaced.
Most of the Grp"A" car's are known about these day's.

I think he is singlehandedly responsible for the interest in Australia for the price of these cars rising.
