THE latest episode of the Motorfocus Model Podcast is the third in a series that looks back at the cars that have won the Bathurst 1000.
Every single car that won the Bathurst 500 and Bathurst 1000 – bar the two Super Touring editions of the ‘Great Race’ – has either been produced, is in transit or is slated for production in the flagship 1:18 scale by Biante Model Cars, Classic Carlectables, Apex Replicas or Authentic Collectables.
The podcast’s Secondhand Market segment will be devoted to these cars over a few episodes; in this edition, hosts Aaron Noonan and Dimitri Comino from Motorfocus Model Cars are running through the releases of cars that won the Mount Panorama enduro from 1981 through to the 1990 edition of the race.
