The category was introduced in 1981[2] and was initially known as Group N (Appendix J) Saloon Cars (Pre 1965).[3] Cars had to be series production type saloons with seating for four, manufactured prior to 31 December 1964, of which at least 100 had been produced.[3] Mechanical modifications were permitted with the intention of emulating racing under the Appendix J regulations which were current in Australia until 31 December 1964.[3]

The eligibility criteria were amended in 1995 to include cars built up to 31 December 1972.[4]

Group N is currently divided into three classes.[1]

Individual cars are not required to have a competition history in order to be eligible.[1]

Group N cars raced in the 2005 Biante Model Cars Historic Touring Car Series.
