Buchanan Automotive Posted 6January, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 6January, 2019 When I get to work in the next few days , I will put the photos up of the GTS on how I last saw her , on one of them it even shows the old ( original ) Vic rego ( licence ) plates Gee the poor thing , one of one , then scrambled , meaning changed to a non genuine GTR and then ( probably ) buried , I can only hope one day they are found and maybe restored , just a hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So just to clarify did this car become the 924 GTR spirit of Australia Regards Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
