Abenethy (spl?) in the yellow Cooper?
Bruce Abernathy? The guy who rolled out to the grid at a Levin race in a Cooper with "wobbly" wheels and Bruce wearing a Noddy hat.
Also a very brave speedway motorbike racer.

I remember that meeting, even though I'm much younger than your good self.:rolleyes:
Bruce Abernethy in the single-cam T41 Cooper-Climax chased by the Lotus 18 of fellow Wellington driver Peter Slocombe
Was this a time when his crew reattached the the engine cover with a rope, and didn't notice the rope went over the hot exhaust pipe.........? Abbo was quite a circus turn sometimes.... Rothmans Cooper NZGP 1965(?) GP Start!!!Quote:

Well done David, many thanks. That explains why Allan has them listed as being 1963 photos, but I thought they were from the 1964 season.Quote:

Here is the Zephyr again, being hounded by what is probably Paul Fahey's Lotus Cortina, as he chases after Ernie Sprague.

Could the black MkI Zephyr be Ivan Segedin?
^ ^ Actually, to answer my own question, Segedin was racing an Anglia that season.
Yeah, the grey #60 mini with a bonnet strap and headlights out is Tim Parker.
