The 1977-built road car, which has 166,475km on the clock, is being offered to a new owner following the legend\u2019s death last month.<\/p>\n

A note about the car on Garry Rogers Motorsport\u2019s social media accounts explained its background, noting the HOON plates do not come with the car.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor years Garry wanted one of these, and four years ago Barry purchased one for his birthday,\u201d it read.<\/p>\n

\u201cGarry had an amazing amount of fun in this car whether it was at the farm, visiting friends or down to the local for a pot or two.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe also got a kick out of letting his close friends take the driver\u2019s seat whilst he sat in the passenger seat full of smiles.<\/p>\n

\u201cSadly, with Garry\u2019s passing it is now time for someone to enjoy it as much as he did.<\/p>\n

\u201cBearing his famous \u2018HOON\u2019 number plates (not sold with vehicle) this 1977 \u2018Roller\u2019 has been well maintained and whilst the body is not perfect, it presents extremely well and is mechanically sound.\u201d<\/p>\n

The HOON plates, for which Rogers once waged a court battle with Victorian transport authorities to keep, were attached to his casket that also sported his #34 racing number.<\/p>\n

Those interested in the Silver Shadow can call Barry Rogers or Les Creely on (03) 9793 6933 during business hours for an inspection.<\/p>\n
