Aren't those cars just so lovely? Even the 20 something year old reckons they don't ever come better! (In my mind there are older ones that do.)

Leo Geoghegan again.....

And here is Kevin Bartlett in his Brabham.

Attachment 19661

Here is pole man and eventual race winner Jim Clark, in his Lotus, while in behind is young Kiwi racer Dennis Marwood, on his way to an excellent 10th outright in his Cooper.

Attachment 19662

Here is another shot of Kevin Bartlett, in the Mildren run Brabham, leading John McDonald in the Cooper. Interestingly, McDonald was supported by Bill Patterson Motors, which from 1975 - 1977, went on to support Peter Brock when he split with the Holden Dealer Team at the end of 1974.

Attachment 19700

Here is Kiwi driver Jim Palmer, on his way to a very impressive 6th outright.

Attachment 19800

So The Palmer car is the same one that Clark is driving a couple of shots up? Would this be the year after? Palmer bought it of Lotus after the series that year?

This is the 1966 meeting with Clark driving the Lotus 39. Palmer is driving the Lotus 32B that Clark drove in the 1965 Tasman series.
