    I think the South Australian University business called Camtech got bought by Ozemail for AUD$10million about ten years ago.
    'Twas a pity, I wanted a Camtech email address.
    My firm is CAMTECH Camouflage Technology, the website is www.camouflage.com.au but we have just moved office and the web host has just changed servers so the website requires maintenence.
    The corporate plate seemed like a good idea at the time but every time I drive to Sydney to visit my parents I meet every New South Wales Trooper that thinks my number plate has been 'altered'. I've driven this car in Europe, Asia and three Australian states. I think the NSW Police are keeping alive the spirit of the Rum Corps.

    Maybe you could swap your 360 and get a chunky cash back too?

    Grand Trouper PP ?

    Lovely car, why would the present owner consider it not so user friendly?

    she raced in the GTP series ??

    was this Palmer's car ?

    I forgot so much of what you told me :(

    and what's the dining room table doing on the back ?? :D

    that is a top price on the car as well !!!

    would have thought $220-230k would be tops for even the best example

    Hey John, no offence mate but I would seriously consider commissioning Dingo Michelangelo to craft you a real pony. :)

    In the days before "Nations Cup" racing, the category was known as "GT Production" hence "GTP 355".

    A Challenge that is running race settings is way, way, way more hard core than the road 355. It rides like a truck and is LOUD, BABY LOUD!! The brakes squeal and the pads knock in the calipers too. It is just very aggressive for a road car; but still nothing like a full blown race car.

    This is as close to the old style "racer raw" Ferrari of old that you are going to get these days.

    Yes, GTP and it was Ross Palmer's personal car that he ran in the 1997 F1 "Ferrari Challenge" race of that year. It was the only race meeting that it ran. Yes it is big money for sure; but a lot cheaper than when I had it.

    Thanks for that. Could see it being a very desirable car to the right person.
