I wrote to Volvo when TWR were running the team and I was a big fan. Tom sent me a huge pile of posters and cards, all signed. I still have it.

[@LouGuthryMotors]

Amazing how those connections remain with you

[@frazerguest2864]

What a gem ! Thank you for uploading this. It’s made an old man very happy.

Tom was a lad's lad ..the real deal..I was in awe as a young bloke back in Zimbabwe 86', reading about the TWR Jags in the local newspaper ... Whilst the Lambo was the rage those days, I actually had a small poster, I bought at Donnybrook , of the XJ V12 he drove to victory at the J.Hardy 1000 in 85

[@LouGuthryMotors]

When those XJSs arrived at Bathurst in 1985 my life changed. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@robertwoodliff2536]

Thanks for putting this up ...

[@LouGuthryMotors]

Such a fantastic insight, there is not much information available about TWR back in the day

[@lkyksb3]

I wonder what happen to all of those SD1s?

[@nateoliver7877]

Mostly sold to private racers and collectors. You still see some of them racing in historics like Goodwood Festival.

[@LouGuthryMotors]

What is the collective noun for Group A SD1s?

[@andymartinez767]

Great driver loved to see that v12 cat around Bathurst. I had an 84 XJS HE V12 and was a dream to drive but expensive to keep on the road. Was stolen and damaged beyond repair. Great shame

[@LouGuthryMotors]

They make excellent classic weekenders now, it has really brought the cost of owning them down to a reasonable level. I’m sorry to hear about your car.

[@andymartinez767]

Thank you, I agree, I actually taught my son to drive in it, we were going around Canberra near the airport and i said to him what speed are you doing as i thought we were doing more than 100kph, his reply was almost 160 dad. That is how smooth and comfortable they were.
Thank you for a great video. 👍

Loved Moffat’s Layback commentary :)

[@LouGuthryMotors]

He made a seamless transition into the commentary box after his retirement from full time racing

[@kneewall49]

@@LouGuthryMotors Sure did. What a shame Brocky isn’t still with us; imagine his insightful comments :(
