Default Phase 4 up for auction

https://www.lloydsonline.com.au/LotD...7&pgn=1&pgs=10

Might set a record for the highest price paid for an Australian car?

No mention of the provenance - which one of the two remaining red ones is it?

Hopefully this is not the 'Hoddo' car being reborn?

I know there's been much, much debate on this already, but I don't consider this car a PH4.
Those three race cars were race prepared GT sedans. A HO carried a 'H' on the VIN.
Would you consider a regular XY GT a HO just because it had been modified to HO specs after it left the factory?
There was only one PH4 that left the factory as such.

So now I can officially say I have bid on a phase 4, not only that I threw 60 large at a car without even consulting the wife!

No, but luckily for the collector car hobby it's not you that decides what's real or correct with Factory Works Race Cars both here and overseas.
