Lloyds Auctioneers and Valuers
Glenn Seton’s 1997 Australian touring, championship winning, Ford Credit Falcon EL is going under the hammer this weekend and is set to become the country’s next million-dollar automotive collectable.
This vehicle was built for the Bathurst 1000 in 1996, taking pole position, and setting the benchmark of 302kph on Conrod Straight, which stood unbroken until 2014.
“Glenn Seton is a true motorsport legend in Australia, and it is an honour to be able to auction one of the most impressive sporting vehicles and pass it on to its next custodians,” said Lee Hames, Chief Operating Officer for Lloyds Auctions.

V8 Supercar enthusiasts rejoice, your dream of owning your very own championship-winning icon can now be a reality. We’ve found Glenn Seton’s 1997 Australian Touring Car Championship Ford EL Falcon racing car for sale online.
Lot number 305 at Lloyd’s Auctions is one of the most exciting listings we’ve seen in a long while regarding Australian motorsport history. The car is an EF series Falcon that was changed to an EL in 1997 when the facelifted model was released in showrooms.
This car in question won the series back in 1997, when it was called the Australian Touring Car Championship. It set a long-standing top speed on Bathurst’s Conrod Straight of 302km/h during qualifying – a record that stood for close to a decade. It was then piloted by Neil Crompton for Glenn Seton Racing (GSR) in the ’98 and ’99 series, and has not raced since 2002.
