The Craven Mild Commodore is one of the first two Commodores to race in an Australian Touring Car Championship event. Competing throughout the 1980s, it contested fifteen rounds of the ATCC and eleven rounds of the Australian Endurance Championship, amongst many others. It was also driven by three Bathurst-winning drivers – Allan Grice, Bob Morris and John Smith, who won the 1980 Oran Park round of the ATCC in the car. In the hands of Gary Chick, it joined the Heritage Touring Cars series at the Phillip Island Classic earlier this year, and we couldn’t be happier.
