Default Re: Best Australian built car of all time

I think the criteria should be australian designed & built.

Or we could include the mini, escort mk1 etc that were legendary world wide. For example the mk1 escort has a world wide cult following & the shells they made here were the strongest type (type 49) & loads have been shipped back to europe, kinda like selling ice to eskimo's.

IMO one of the best Australian designed & built cars would have to be the Brabham BT19.

Sure it didnt win Bathurst or sell them to every man & his dog, but name one other Australian designed & built cars that has these sort of stats
- competed in 19 F1 championship races
- 6 pole positions
- 6 wins
- 4 fastest laps
- 2 constructors championships
- 1 drivers championship
