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.
