Two new BMW 635CSis were ready for the series. Kent Baigent & Neal Lowe teamed in one 635. I believe this was an ex-Schintzer 1983 chassis. I'm sure this has being mentioned in the BMW 635 thread.
Neville Crichton & Wayne Wilkinson teamed up in a black Frank Gardner built 635CSi. I believe this is the same car driven at Bathurst by Denny Hulme/Leopard von Bayern and was converted from one of the JPS team's Group C BMW 635 CSis.
There were two Holden Commodore VH SS for Denny Hulme/Ray Smith and Bruce Fowler/Kirk Stoneman.

I'm guessing from the 'Benson & Hedges' logos that these might be from the Baypark B&H round you mentioned?
