Description
This is the last car Peter Brock raced on a circuit before his death. Arguably the best race car driver Australia has ever produced, or will ever see. His record of achievements is stellar, his personality was vibrant, simply put, a legend. Brock was killed during a rally in 2006 and was given a full state funeral. He was known by all as Peter Perfect! Both photos are high res and best viewed zoomed.

Stunning capture my friend.
My this a rare car.. What can I say? Well I can't really! Just look at price tag! lol Stellar picture as always! Brilliant.. Rob
Very beautiful
As it happens, he was my Wife's cousin. Not to speak ill of the dead or anything, but the funny thing about Peter was he's actually not the best racing driver in their family. But he had the charm to get ahead in the media.
Great shots and interesting background information. Well done.
An excellent capture and he did have a very successful career.
Fantastic POV of this beauty Andrew. Great link for the close up also. Not to worry - Peter is still racing on the big track in the sky. :>) Dana
Excellent shot, the POV and details are outstanding. I love such old cars.
