Indeed, Australia's first Porsche dealer, Norman Hamilton, encouraged and helped pay for Porsche to make the first ever right -
hand drive model after coming to a handshake deal with Dr Ferdinand Porsche.
The event, which featured Maserati, did not hold back on delivering countless surprises associated with the special marque, including drivers, their collections, and the finest of
models unveiled and taking to the track, but it was a 1964 Ford Falcon and its owner Mike Eddy (Gardena, Calif.) who
drove it in Group 7A (for 1966 - 1972 Trans Am) that claimed the ultimate recognition
after two days of practice and a weekend of back - to - back racing for nearly 550 authentic and historic automobiles that were
hand - selected to compete.
