"Eric is a good steerer and the car he has prepared is an absolutely beautiful piece of machinery," Mr Perry said.He predicted that Bana could sneak into the top 10 "if he has a good run".Bana said he would relish the chance to be behind the wheel rather than in front of the camera."The car has been a labour of love, really," Bana said."Targa Tasmania is a fantastic showcase of classic cars, and I reckon our XB GT Coupe should bring back a lot of good memories for many of the fans watching the rally as it makes its way around Tasmania."
