By Iain KellyIain Kelly
Gossy is a bona fide touring car legend who won Bathurst in ‘74 and ‘85, plus the Australian Grand Prix in ‘76.

John Goss has scored himself an Order of Australia medal in the Queen’s Birthday Honours this year for his services to motorsport in Australia.

Gossy is a bona fide touring car legend who won Bathurst in ‘74 and ‘85, plus the Australian Grand Prix in ‘76 – the only person to win the Bathurst 1000 and Australian Grand Prix!

Gossy was immortalised by Ford in 1975 when they released their John Goss Limited Edition XB Falcon hardtop. Now a highly collectable rarity the white-and-green coupes can change hands for six-figure sums today.
