Fantastic work, Anthony!

On PE004, I have Lansvale using the car for the final AMSCAR round, Bathurst and the Nissan 500 at the Creek. I don't have full footage or results of the AGP support races, but from what I do have, I didn't see the car there.

On PE006, so did Jones use this as his primary car for 1990 onwards, or did he alternate between it and the second Lambden VL? It makes sense that he would stick with PE006. In that case, would the #31 Tic-Tac Commodore from Bathurst 1992 be the Lambden VL?

On PE007, it might have been the accident Gibbs had during the 2nd AMSCAR round in May 1989. During heat 1, Colin Bond got a bit sideways coming out of the Dunlop Loop, Gibbsy went down the inside and Bondy tagged him in the left rear; the Commodore DNF's from the race and didn't make it out for the other two heats. The Bob Forbes Commodore didn't make another appearance until the final ATCC round in July - they didn't appear at the third AMSCAR round - so was the car that appeared at Oran Park the re-shelled PE007 or the other new GIO Commodore? If not, when was the new car first used, and would anyone happen to have a photo of the Gibbs car post-accident?
