So I went looking for a race car and found this in Autotrader in 1990.

Being the ex Cooper and Curd (Pukekohe) showroom LJ demonstrator, purchased by Nick Dooner and John Curd and they raced it successfully in Brock colours through the late 80s as a club race car. I bought this off the lads in 1990 and I have owned this now for 30 years. This is a car that if it could speak would tell you some very tall tales, along the lines of ‘I caught a fish THIS big …”

I raced this at Pukekohe, Bay Park, Taupo and Manfield, an absolutely fantastic run every time, sideways all the time, great fun.
