Former Holden competition boss Joe Felice talks us through the colourful early days

Brock Bathurst car up for auction at Graysonline - video
This car gave a young Peter Brock his first proper crack at Bathurst.

It's not often you get to hear it from the source, but we recently got former Holden racing boss Joe Felice to talk us through the wild and woolly early days of the team, and the role played by this Monaro.

Shared with dealer and mentor Des West, the car scored well and - after being in the hands of a few owners - has been restored to its former glory. It also gave a then very young Peter Brock his first mainstream tilt at Bathurst.

(Ed's note: The 'Harry' to whom Joe refers is of course legendary race team guru Harry Firth.)

It's up for auction later this month at Graysonline.
