The last Holden raced by Peter Brock – just a week before his death in 2006 –sold to a Melbourne collector at the Shannons Australian International Motor Show Auction on July 10 for $320,000.

The sale was one of the highlights of the 15th Shannons auction staged in conjunction with the Motor Show in Melbourne since 1996 and resulted in more than $2 million in vehicle and automobilia sales.

Conceived by Melbourne-based Brock fan Phil Munday, the 1953 ‘FX’ was built for the nine-time Bathurst winner to race at the 2006 Goodwood Revival in England.

Brock finished a fighting fourth in the main St.Mary’s Trophy race for Saloon Cars at the meeting, but his performance in the FX saw his team awarded the event’s prestigious ‘Spirit of Goodwood’ trophy, which was included with the race car in the auction.
