I vaguely remember seeing them running LH Toranas around Pukekohe racetrack many, many moons ago. If I can find the programme I'll scan it...

At least the LJ's had the wipers the right way. Maybe the LH's weren't moved at the factory.

This thread brings back some memories from my childhood.
I remember my father coming home in a gold HK GTS Monaro that was all sign written just like a race car, and then going to see the French He’ll Drivers at the local show ground, and of course I was taken in the GTS Monaro ( my Dad was a Holden Dealer at the time ).
As part of the show I remember they had the two front sections of Mini’s joined back to back - as the show progressed the two halves were broken apart and just driven on the front wheels while dragging the back end around.
This is the first time I have ever found others who remember the Hell Drivers, good stuff.

or..this one..https://www.youtube....h?v=YTclUc61x30
Hey RallyRed the clip on the facebook site in filmed in Tamworth. It was at a motorbike track owned by Harry Pine. It is now residential blocks. The clip is on the end of Torana XU1 When Your Hot, You're Hot. I remember that day quite well and I see a number of people I knew at the time in the crowd. I was about 14 at the time.
