Absolutely beautiful original colour video here of the 1967 Australian Touring Car Championship, held at Lakeside. This is the race Pete Geoghegan won in his brand new Mustang GTA, in its first ever event, after Norm Beechey, who'd dominated throughout, blew a tyre late on and whacked the armco in the big Chevy Nova. The video also shows some of the pre-race action, and post race function, with all the drivers and crew together.
Great to see the Mustang's of Bob Jane, Greg Cusack, the Kiwis Paul Fahey and Rod Coppins, Terry Allan's big block Camaro, Kevin Bartlett's Alfa Romeo GTA, Jim McKeown's Lotus Cortina, the Mini Cooper's of Brian Foley, Peter Manton, John French etc.
Anyway, check it out and enjoy. My thanks to Dewi Jones for making me aware of this. Just stunning!
