I now have the name of the guy who built all the shells (John Lintell) and will be contacting him to see if he can help. To all Spooky the guys who have helped me on this chase thanks very much.

OK, so I'll just correct you (and re-correct Rob again) there. The Daytona Coupe body you have and the other bodies have nothing to do with the Coupe PB was killed in. Rob did tell me the same story including the bit about flopped off an original etc etc.
The car PB was sadly killed in was a Richard Bendell (Mr MOTEC) Daytona Coupe built in Melbourne. The body of that car, (as is mine) was built by Richard himself after 3D rendering and scaling by Melbourne university. It has no lineage at all to any other body. In fact Richard is good friends with the other Peter Brock of Daytona/Shelby Cobra fame in the USA.

This is Peter Brocks Coupe that has been rebuilt. Note side pipes, roof line, no rear lip to wheel arch etc etc

This is the back of the crashed coupe. It and the rest of the car bear no resemblence to DRB coupes.

PB Brock was killed in a Daytona Coupe Replica yes....But not a DRB Daytona Coupe and I dont why Rob keeps telling that story.
