One of Australia's most iconic V8 Supercars is on sale. Factory-prepped by HRT for Peter Brock's final drive at Bathurst, the VY Commodore is in original condition and still wear's Brock's famous number '05'.

A genuine collector's item, the 05 VY Commodore was the first car built by HRT (Holden Racing Team) under the 'project blueprint' program and was first campaigned in mid-2003 by Todd Kelly for round seven at Queensland Raceway. Kelly, partnered by Mark Skaife, also entered the car at Bathurst that year.

Kelly remained in the car throughout the rest of the 2003 season and for much of the following year, until the endurance races at Sandown and Bathurst. For those two events the car was crewed by Brock and well-known BTCC driver (and 5th Gear presenter), Jason Plato.

"The car is in original condition, it's been freshened up with a new paint job, but this is the genuine item and comes with the original log book," said current owner Al D'Alberto.

"It's the last 05 HRT Commodore, there hasn't been one since."

The car went on to be raced in the 2005 V8 Supercar Championship Series by Rick Kelly, before being steered in 2006 by Tony D'Alberto in the Fujitsu Series.

"The car looks fantastic and no doubt holds plenty of memories and stories for HRT and Peter Brock fans," said D'Alberto.

Brock died in 2006 during a tarmac rally in Western Australia. To this day, he is yet to be overtaken for the number of wins 'at the mountain'.

To find out more about the car and obtain relevant details to its sale, genuine enquirers are invited to contact Al D'Alberto at ald@bellmont.com.au.
