I only watched Mad Max Furiosa and smokey and Bandit. I know the movie names Blues Brothers and Bullit. From Spotify I know some Blues Brothers music, they are standing in a best of all time playlist with at least one song called: Sweet home Chicago.🎉😅 The movie bullit I know because the movie name is iconic and I know the bullit car from car programs on tv, where a tribute car is built. I never saw those two movies. A non-CGI movie I watched is the latest Top gun, further I don't know. 😢😢
Australians still don't get it what a true sports car is all about. They think the ultimate is a family sedan with a V8 engine. Might br ok for Bathurst but see how far you get at Le Mans.
Wrong. Australians get what a sports car is. They just did not care as much for sports cars as the Europeans. Thats all. You are conflating sports cars with Muscle cars. 2 different things. Australians built great 4 door (Sedan) and 2 door (Coupe / GT) muscle cars. They never made a major mainstream sports car that I remember. They assembled MGB's and the like locally, which are true sports cars only. There focus was more muscle cars which genuinely rivalled the US market options. Australia had some European imports at the time, especially from the UK. Yet the local muscle cars were mostly faster especially when measured by cost and value. The Aussie cars had very good simple build quality especially compared with the US market. Actually a great peice of world auto history often overlooked. As a 20 year old would you have bought an under powered UK sports car like the MG or one of those V8 Toranas at that time? The MGB is beautiful but to a 20yo the Torana was mean and powerful. They were direct competitors then. The expensive Jaguars available at the time were nice yet they were more techincal therefore the recalls were high and the value was not there. LeMans was not not a big focus to an Australian. Why would it be. Its not the centre of the world to many nations.
Is anyone old enough to remember Bolwell? The Nagari was a great sports car. I visited their factory in my youth for an hour or so tour and was given great insight as to what it took to design and build them. Regulations were quite inhibiting back then for prospective niche car builders.
That car looked like it would be a blast to drive with its 351 cid V8. We posted one on our "Vintage Car Daily" community post series. Have a look: ru-vid.com/show-UCfpe29OP54b9d_iYuWlMKhgcommunity?lb=UgkxhFIGtnvIm_25MHskDnd8vUWi6rAVPxyo
Hilux or Ranger. A lemans car is probably no good on Bathursts hills and tight corkscrews. Maybe it's the otherway around. Europeans don't get what a true sports car was in the 70s.
