In 2003, Vannessa Bridges was clocked doing 160 kilometres per hour on the Western Ring Road in her 1975 Datsun 120 Y.
Through testing, it was later revealed to be physically impossible that the car could reach such speeds.
The incident uncovered a major problem with Victoria's safety cameras forcing Steve Bracks' government to repay 30 million dollars in fines and compensation.
Vanessa's father, Kevin, has told Neil Mitchell the famous car is on sale for 750 dollars.

Perhaps it could be snatched up by Ms. Yael Rothschild and she could do another auction. Would further enhance the tax breaks made on Djokovic tennis final shirt.
Alternatively it should be part of the punishment of the speeding Porsche hoon - 5 years compulsory driving of the old Datsun 120Y.
