After running Bruce McPhee in the major endurance races in 1972, the team aligned with Bob Morris for a partial campaign of the 1973 Australian Touring Car Championship, also receiving sponsorship from the Seven Network.
In 1976 and 1977, the team also experimented with a Triumph Dolomite Sprint instead of the V8 Torana, attempting to maximise the championship points by winning smaller capacity class in some races.
In conjunction with Leyland Australia, the team had in fact aimed to develop a locally-made competition version of the Dolomite Sprint but the proposal was rejected by the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport.
