Nine-time Bathurst champion Peter Brock was a great winner of trophies during his stellar career but the most valuable of them all – his nine Bathurst Holden trophies – rarely saw the light of day, being stored in a dusty container on his Nutfield farm for the best part of 20 years.
At Bathurst this year they are being presented as a collection publicly for the very first time and will be displayed this weekend in the on-site Supercheap Auto store at the circuit.
“To date, only mice have seen all these trophies so it’s about time everyone else did,” said Lewis Brock, of the Peter Brock Foundation, who has refurbished these classic pieces of memorabilia for the occasion.
