This item is a vintage Kmart Racing Team V8 Supercars crew jacket, showcasing the legendary #51 car number heavily popularized by New Zealand racing icon Greg Murphy.
Background & Significance:- The Legacy: The Kmart Racing Team operated under the Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) umbrella in the early 2000s, running Holden VX and VY Commodores.- The Number 51: Greg Murphy began using the #51 in the 2001 season. This specific car number achieved historic status in 2003 when Murphy set his legendary "Lap of the Gods" qualifying pole position at Mount Panorama, subsequently winning the Bathurst 1000 alongside co-driver Rick Kelly.- Design Variations: While the primary on-track Kmart team merchandise typically featured a prominent blue and red palette, this specific color block iteration integrates a heavy black shell with signature racing orange accents and contrasting grey/khaki panelling.
