    Valiant was Chryslers old Australian division, unfortuneatly they were phased out in the 70's. But they will be returning in spirit atleast when the 300C comes over

    You missed Toyota Bluey, remembe the Camry and Avalon

    Valiant are still around theoretically as Tonsley Park was theres, then Mitsubishi bought it off them.

    Other than that theres Robnell who make some of the worlds best AC Cobra replicas, Elfin who make some pretty good Lotus 7 type cars, Roaring Foarties who arguably make the worlds best GT40 replicas, CSV who have their own seperate take on performance Holdens and DJR and Herrod have their HP320, and are also keen to expand their range to an XR6T based car as well as a lesser spec XR8 based car
