Unique Cars goes live!

You've seen them featured in the pages of 'Unique Cars' magazine, now enjoy some of Australia's best modified, performance and specialist vehicles doing what they do best -- driven at full throttle -- in 'Unique Cars: The DVD Collection'.

The 85-minute DVD is available with the next issue of Unique Cars, CarPoint's sister publication that focuses on new and used enthusiast vehicles.

The DVD Collection is a hand-picked compilation of the best car footage the Unique Cars' team could source from Australia and overseas.

It features specially edited segments from some of Australia's finest performance car DVDs, and was produced in conjunction with leading motoring DVD production house, Serious Business TV.

For muscle car enthusiasts there's V8 Supercar ace Steven Richards test-driving a bunch of historic race cars, Warren Luff's exclusive track test of Ford's banned Phase 4 Falcon supercar from the 1970s, and a super-smooth '32 Ford hot rod.

The DVD also includes original footage of Norm Beechey sliding his legendary Monaro around Bathurst, Peter Brock talking about and driving his famous XU-1 and the latest Shelby Mustang hitting its straps along Route 66.

For fans of British and European exotics, there's sensational driving footage of Lotus' greatest models, a wild turbocharged Ford Anglia in action, an old versus new Mini Cooper shoot-out, and a Lamborghini Murcielago hitting the redline.

Plus there are highlights from two of Australia's biggest car events in 2006: MotorEx and Targa Tasmania.

All up there are 18 individual segments, for a total running time of over 85 minutes.

Unique Cars: The DVD Collection is available with issue #269 of Unique Cars which goes on sale Wednesday, January 24. At just $9.95 (an extra $2 for the DVD), it's the best value car magazine/DVD offer in the country.
