New Model Announcements: 1:43 Scale Nissan Bluebird Turbo + Holden VK Commodore Group Cs

Authentic Collectables are excited to announce a new range of 1:43 scale die-cast model cars celebrating one of the most memorable eras in Australian touring car history, headlined by the debut of the iconic Nissan Bluebird Turbo in this scale.

Leading the new announcements is the Nissan Sport #15 Nissan Bluebird Turbo from the 1984 James Hardie 1000, famously driven by George Fury and Gary Scott. Fury’s legendary pole position lap remains one of the most remarkable achievements in Bathurst history, setting the fastest ever Group C lap at Mount Panorama. This model marks the first time Authentic Collectables has produced the Bluebird Turbo in 1:43 scale, making it a truly significant release for collectors.

Complementing the Nissan releases are two Holden VK Commodore Group C entries from the 1984 Bathurst grid. The K-Mart Auto Racing #8 Commodore, driven by Warren Cullen and Formula One World Champion Alan Jones, achieved a standout fourth-place finish, while the Roadways Racing #6 Commodore of Allan Grice and Steve Harrington represents the strength and depth of privateer competition during the final year of Group C.
