Bob Jane History

Robert "Bob" Jane (born 1929) is an Australian former race car driver and prominent businessman. Jane grew up in Brunswick, an inner-city suburb of Melbourne. In the 1950s, he started Bob Jane Autoland, a company which distributed parts for Jaguar and Alfa Romeo. Through this venture, a love of cars and motor-sport blossomed and he first entered competitive racing in Australia in 1956; by 1960, he was racing with some of Australia's top sedan drivers. A four-time winner of the Armstrong 500, the race that preceded the prestigious Bathurst 1000, Jane is perhaps known best nowadays for his chain of tyre retailers, Bob Jane T-Marts.
