CLASSIC CARLECTABLES 1/18 LOLA T332 1974 TASMAN SERIES ADELAIDE 3RD PLACE

Lawrence’s Late Surge: Podium Finish in the 1974 Tasman Finale

The 1974 Tasman Series wrapped up with the Adelaide '100' on February 24, marking the final round of the eight-race international championship. Open to cars under Tasman Formula regulations, the series drew top talent across New Zealand and Australia.

Graeme Lawrence qualified 9th in his F5000 Lola T332 Chevrolet at Adelaide International Raceway, behind heavyweights like Peter Gethin, Frank Matich, Warwick Brown and polesitter Max Stewart.

Despite lacking front-runner pace on race day, Lawrence fought hard across the 70-lap (168.7 km) race to claim a strong 3rd-place finish in 1h 01m 34.7s – just seconds behind winner Warwick Brown and runner-up Peter Gethin. Only the top four drivers completed the full race distance.

With another 3rd-place result earlier in Round 4 at Teretonga, Lawrence ended the 1974 Tasman Series tied for 8th overall – a solid showing in a fiercely competitive field.

This highly detailed 1/18 scale replica captures the distinctive racing specification of Graeme Lawrence’s F5000 Lola T332 Chevrolet. The front wheel rims feature sanded racing slicks with intricate paint finishes replicating the racing rims, while the large side-mounted radiators are finely crafted with etched-metal detailing.

Inside the cockpit, the detailed dashboard features comprehensive instrumentation, while the lightweight racing seat is stripped down to the bare essentials. The removable engine cover allows the detailed V8 to be displayed, including the finely reproduced engine components and clamps on the velocity stacks. An air scoop positioned on top of the engine cover feeds the V8’s demand for air.

The front suspension features metal coil springs and fully functioning steering, while the rear suspension is accurately represented with metal coil springs and detailed linkages. The large rear tyres and distinctive rear wing complete the aggressive racing stance, with the wing featuring detailed supporting struts designed to keep the rear of the car held down on the racing circuit.

Item includes a certificate of authenticity and production number plate mounted to the chassis.
