sorry guys i should spell check my post lol

[motorsportnerd]

Good info and pics of your cars there. Unfortunately, chassis numbers are not my speciality. I was only able to provide the info on the DJR car based on its competition number as I had those two books.
Is it possible that the Eggenberger car you have is one of the 1987 Bathurst cars or possibly even one of the ones sold to Allan Moffat which raced in the 88, 89, 90, 91 & 92 Bathurst races?
I can provide the results for the Eggenberger cars for the 1987 WTCC - but unfortunately could not match the result to the chassis number used. Let me know if you want me to post them.

so far i have seen 99261, 99262 , 99263 , theses i know where all 87 cars and i have seen 99266 which was a ringhausen car, built with parts supplyed by eggenberger, but the shell was all there own work and is very different,

only other one i know of is the car they are selling 99268 ex texaco car which was then the bastos car from spar 24hr, this was the winning car,

Raced by John Smith/Alfredo Costanzo
Qualified: 12th
Finished: 6th


Bathurst 1000, Mount Panorama, Bathurst, October 2, 1988

Entered for John Smith/Alfredo Costanzo as part of a three car DJR attack on the race. Raced with the number "18". Dick Johnson and John Bowe were cross entered, so that if either of their cars failed the could jump into the number 28 car. Both Johnson's and Bowe's cars failed before the end of the first stint. John Smith changed over to Dick Johnson, who in turn changed to John Bowe at the next driver change. Alfredo Costanzo did not race the car during the race. Heading for a late race challenge on the leader (Tony Longhurst) when its starter motor wouldn't fire up during the last pit stop. They got it going, but any chance of victory was gone, so settled for second.

Qualified: 12th
Finished: 2nd


Bathurst was the last race in which DJR raced the car. After this, DJR 1 was sold to Englishman Robb Gravett, who took it to the UK to race in the 1989 British Touring Car Championhip.

hi, welcome, when you post the pics of your car can you post one with a piece of paper over the gear shifter that has your UCP username on it so that people dont start getting picky about if its yours or not
