Held on the 30th September 1962, it was an endurance race for production touring cars and production sports cars. It was divided into 6 categories depending on price and type of car, with no overall winner. This race preceded the Bathurst 500/1000 races that would become an iconic race. There was a diverse range of cars entered that were available to buy in Australian showrooms at that time; from a Hillman Minx Van, Daimler SP250, MG, Skoda, Holden, Ford, Morris, Datsun, NSU, Hillman, Fiat, Renault, Peugeot, Austin, Simca, Citroen, Studebaker, Morgan, Austin-Healey and Triumph.

Thanks for saving and loading this footage❤️

@robalexander7348

The good old days of the Armstrong 500 when cars were entered into the race from the show room floor 👍

My first year at Bathurst for the Easter event following the car racing. I thought the motorcycle racers were crazy! But 5 years later bought my first motorcycle and there followed thirty years of adventure and the best years of my life!! Now 81 and have also been to the motorcycle races at Daytona (1979) IOM TT (1992) and 30 years of Bathurst. Sure to get into Bikie Heaven!! Cheers Maynard from Oz 🏍👍

@mickbrenton

There were so many names on that starting list that I remember growing up in the late 60s and 70s.

@broughxtreme

Great footage, but I think that the recovery trucks go faster than that now.

@gazza116

great stuff.thank you for posting.

@hmao4466

Amazing. Thank you. What history.

@JR1300r

Great 😃 old film and ooh I was there in the pits cheers

@fyiaustralia9686

Amazing to see a variety of cars in this race. I guess drivers were trying to see what might be a good rally car for competition sports - so it was unusual to see a Hillman Minx van in the mix!

@StephenJohnson-jb7xe

Compared to today they looked like they were just out for a nice quiet drive. At one point I saw some paper blowing in the wind, it overtook the cars.

@jesstill7833

But that’s all they have to race in those days and it was fun no Factory sponsors ,,,This is how it should stayed 👍👍👍

Go the Simca, I owned one, don't roll down the mountain like Tony Roberts did in his Falcon if I remember correctly.

@gasgaslex_photos

Unrecognizable from todays Bathurst & modern car racing.... Give me a time machine and I would take my HSV back there 🙂

@philelliott5327

Hit x2 on the playback speed in settings!😂 The Husky looks like it gets air over the top of the mountain!

@billsmith305

Well the roads are just the same around Bathurst,

@johnd8892

The poor performance of the early Falcon six cylinder car likely convinced Harry Firth and Bob Jane to go with the Ford Cortina GT in the 1963 and 1964 race and win the race with them
