Ellis, I thought Calvert retained the Fred Gibson colours of dark blue with two wide white stripes over the top when he raced it.Quote:

Ellis, I eventually found the photos I was thinking of. They are on a site called "old race photos", you may have heard of it.Quote:

They show the dark colour with the two wide white stripes.
What is light blue #95 car, and who is driver?Quote:

That's what I initially thought too, but surely would be too extreme even for Sports Sedans.Quote:

I believe this to be the meeting on 2-5-1971 and if that's correct the Driver of car 95 is Steven McGuire and the car is listed as a Triumph Herald.Quote:

The shots taken at the end of the main straight at Warwick Farm brought back some great memories. Didn't get to see much of the rest of the circuit.
Dale, I believe you are correct.Quote:

in the May 71 WF programme it is described as a "Triumph Herald". In the September 71 WF programme it is described as "Triumph Herald-Datsun", somewhat unusual. In both cases its capacity is 1,595 cc. I still can't recall seeing it at either meeting.
Thanks Terry. Yes the front "bit" is just hanging in there, perhaps it's more the bonnet than the doors.
BUT, he is out there "doing it" while a good number of the rest of us were just watchers wishing we were racers. I admire this sort of thing and the ingenuity which wentt with it on a shoestring budget probably
Regarding the Herald, 'agricultural' would be a very apt description from my recall...
Steve McGuire was the son of a publican as I recall, he later had a Mawer Clubman into which he stuffed a 1600cc version of that PUSHROD Datsun engine. This was the Fairlady engine, but the same base engine saw use in such things as utilities and the Homer van. To my way of thinking he was so keen on these engines that this would have been what was in the cut-off Herald.
From the conversation I had with him in 1972 I'd not be surprised if his 1600cc entries were backed by a 2.2-litre car.
Nice to see a pic of Phil Ward's Escort up there. Also Dave Price's ex-Muir S4 on a previous page (before it went to Terry Allan), it's worth mentioning the car behind Phil Lucas' Volvo V8 above is John Bourke from Gosford.
There's a couple of shots, too, of Bruce Cary's Capri V8, the Grace Bros car. Bruce, of course, was later to go to Ralt and stayed in England a long time as a kind of right hand man for Ron Tauranac. His final assignment was to spanner the F3 car of Barton Mawer, but this Capri brought him a lot of grief despite reasonable funding from Grace Bros.
The Peter Woodward Lotus Elan, ex-Niel Allen. Next pic is Jim McKeown at the end of Hume Straight, Warwick Farm, then there's the start of what was probably a Holdens-only race at Winton.Quote:

Peter Larner narrowly ahead of John Smith. This would have been the first year of the single-cam 1600cc F2, Larner has modified his F3 Elfin 700 with that extra wing, Smith is in the Galloway later written off by Andrew Miedecke in New Zealand.

Ray, just a little confused, which EH are you saying is Dave Price (ex Muir). Is it the one in post #3, #8 or #45Quote:

Thanks for filling in these details guys, much appreciated.
