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.
Glenn Seton s
1996 Ford Falcon is being offered by Lloyds Auctioneers, and it lays claim to some serious on-track credibility.
With Seton at the wheel, the Falcon won the very first championship of the V8 Supercars in 1997, after the series transitioned from the Australian Touring Car Championship.
Perhaps most astonishingly, this was achieved by a single-car team, with just six people working behind the scenes at each race.
Built for the Bathurst 1000 the year prior, Seton set an unofficial record of 302km/h on Conrod Straight – set during qualifying in which he nabbed pole position – with the record only broken by Jamie Whincup nearly a decade later, due to rule changes.
