Own a piece of Brock legend

If you've got a spare $600,000, we've got a car for you.

It's a one owner, one-off machine that has only had one driver, and he just happens to be the legendary Peter Brock.

The last Holden that Brock drove, and the last car that he ever competed in on a circuit has been put up for sale.

Owner and old-Holden restorer Phil Munday, who built the 1948/215 Holden from a shell into a retro racing car for Brock to race in 2006, is asking for "$600,000 plus”.

Brock raced the car at the Goodwood historic racing festival in England in 2006.

After returning to Australia several days later he competed in a Targa rally in Western Australia where he was killed in a racing crash.

Spokesman Tim Pemberton says it is an unique car, particularly for Brock fans.

"He is the only bloke who drove it,” he says.

"And it's personally signed by Brock on the roof."

"It's his last Holden and his last circuit car."

But is it worth $600,000?

"It's hard to put a price on these things. It's worth what people are prepared to pay,” Pemberton says.

"But, Peter Brock memorabilia is selling extremely well at the moment."

Pemberton says a collector paid $550,000 last year for the Torana XU-1 that Brock drove in the 1973 Bathurst 1000.

He says the retro Holden race car has already attracted contact from "three or four interested parties”.

However the current credit crisis had forced them to renegotiate their funding.

Since returning from England the car has been stored and put on display at various car shows.

The old Holden was a personal favourite for Brock.

Before going to Goodwood he told Carsguide: "It's the best early-model Holden that's ever been built. I don't think anyone has got any more out of that engine ever.

"I owned a lot of them. I had 48-Series Holdens before I turned 20 and I got my CAMS (racing) licence driving one."
