Amazing footage of Bryan Thompson's Chev V8 Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC sports Sedan/GT first outing at Amaroo Park where he cleaned up!
both the 1984 and 1985 championships were won by Allan Grice and Bryan Thomson respectively, both driving the ex-Bob Jane DeKon Chevrolet Monza, with Thomson also driving his exotic Chevrolet V8 powered twin turbo Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC in the 1985 series.
As time went on the usually slower Sports Sedans started to usurp the category as the more expensive Sports Car refugees dropped in numbers. Sports Sedans also became more effective, especially once local racing car factories and professional racing teams like Elfin Sports Cars, K&A Engineering, Allan Browne's Re-Car team and JPS Team BMW became involved.

Great looking cars!

Incredible stuff !
Im wondering if these cars are still in exist ? Wonderful build machines.
They remind me of the british "thunder saloon" series.
Australian muscle car magazine has covered a few of these cars some do still exist
The Mercedes is still running in South Australia. czcams.com/video/hRTnh-4io_E/video.html
I've got a photo of the Mercedes from 2017
I'd love to know where these cars ended up
Bob Stevens Monaro is the ex Pete Geoghegan car. Currently being restored. Neil Brain Monza is the ex Allan Moffat car. Lives in the USA. Bryan Thompson Mercedes-Benz still exists and still exists in historic racing.
They were the best memories when racing was at its best ..v8 super cars are boring ..
Were these cars faster than the touring cars at the time?
Yep.
Yep. I had forgotten how fast that Mercedes was!
Yes but you aren't going to be doing any longer distance racing, even 50 laps which was the "sprint" racing for touring cars is beyond these magnificent beasts.
yes
