Perhaps Bob Jane’s best-known car from his storied career was the Chevrolet ZL-1 Camaro.

Classic Carlectables produced a special Gold Livery Edition of the Chevrilet ZL-1 Camaro to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of its 1971 Australian Touring Car Championship victory.

The Wellington Street Races

Don’t miss out. Order today to secure your piece of history. 

The Wellington Street Races ran on one of the most challenging and demanding circuits in the world with some of the biggest stars of world touring car racing including Aussie heroes Peter Brock and Dick Johnson.

Between 1985 and 1996, the races brought some of the world’s top teams and drivers to New Zealand. They also played a major role in the development of the Wellington waterfront as a public space.

The race track ran through central Wellington streets and along the edge of the waterfront. The races were dramatic and attracted huge crowds and also kickstarted Wellington becoming New Zealand’s events capital.

Organised and run by a small group of passionate and professional sports marketers, the street races served as the blueprint for the first World Touring Car Championship – a unique series that saw events take place in 10 different countries in 1987.

This is the first time that all of the stories about the creation – and the ultimate demise – of the Wellington Street Races have been brought together, along with photos and race information that all motorsport and sports fans will enjoy.

This 272 page hardback book has been written by Richard McGee and is published by Batemans Books.
