3. Moff’s Bathurst best
So you’re a Ford fan, a motorsport enthusiast, or simply an historian.of the great race. Unless you have been living on another planet you’ll know this tee depicts the famous Falcon formation finish of 1977 at Mount Panorama,when Allan Moffat and team mate Colin Bond gave Ford their finest victory at the mountain. Wear it proudly and loudly, it’s one of Aussie motorsport history’s finest moments. Priced at $40.
4. Duffle bag
For the person you know who has everything. Here is something to put it in. This very cleverly designed duffle bag can be opened up and laid out allowing it to double as a suitpack or even a bloody big picnic hamper if you wish. Packing almost anything will never be easier. Finished in a stylish British Racing Green hue, and lined with silk, it’s a long way from being you’re average carry-all. It’s priced that way, too, at $2096.
5. Your lion mug
The Iron Lion may have packed up and left our shores rather abruptly after operating here for over a century and giving us some very desirable and spectacular cars. They were built to a unique formula for our unique brown land and its unique terrain. Here is your chance to show everyone your lion love with a mug showing the iconic General Motors-Holden’s logo. Appropriately it is in red, priced at $13.
6. Tooled up
For those of us who know what goes on under a bonnet rather than just looking in amazement, here is a beautfully-presented toolkit from Roush, designed to be fitted to the bootlid of your 2015-19 Ford Mustang. It’s one of those details that would finish off a modded pony car (particularly a Roush edition) very nicely and seems to come with a fair range of gear. $860.
