The Koala was a [[Formula Junior]] class of car, designed and built in 1962 by John Joyce founder of [[Bowin Cars]] in his grandparents backshed. The Koala's first race was the FJ Trophy Cup, held at Lowood [[Queensland]] in 1963. The race was a 10 lapper and John was going well until he broke a half shaft 1.5 miles from the finish. It has been said that he was that close to the finish, he could have claimed 4th place by pushing the car over the line. |

Only one Koala was ever built. |
|||
In more recent time the car has been restored by Paul Charal. |
