I notice with interest some pics of Jim Clark in the Tasman Series.
The Lotus 39 is now in Devonport Tasmania.
The car was run by Clark in 66 Tasman Series then purchased by Geoghegans
and ended up with a Repco V8. When sold by Geoghegans it went thru 2 more
owners untill Hon John Dawson-Damer purchased it in 1976 and restored it back
to 66 Tasman specs with a 2.5 Climax. It was auctioned a few years after
Dawson -Damer died at Goodwood.
It was purchased by the current owner at auction in 2008. The owner is an
avid Jim Clark fan.

Photo 3 of post 34, #57, Bryan Faloon, 1650cc 105E Anglia
The sports car waiting to come up to the start line is Beowulf. Built in the mid sixties by Ian Horley from Palmerston North and raced very successfully by him. Ian was 6th fastest and second in class behind Peter Ransom in a Lancer. The car is still very active in Historic Racing. Ian is alive and well and turns up at a lot of meetings astride a 600cc Suzuki.
Its amazing how many photos have come up on this website that haven't seen the light of day before. Fantastic shots all of them
great job! i took the photos and remembered a lot of them but some until now were mysterys.is the bailey Zephyr corvette coppins old car does any body know? how did you know who all those drivers were? I would love to know!
Yes ,went to Bailey in Tauranga from Coppins ,he crashed it at the back to front Pukekohe Meeting up by Railway into a pole from memory ,remember the circuit was being run in reverse so it might have been under braking ,David Mc may remember
I remember once in that era I went down to Tauranga to compete at a sprint which was being held on one of the straights of the old street circuit ,the start was just up by the Lumber Company,you had to come out the gate and then back up to the start ,he managed a real comic book start by dumping the clutch with quite a few revs on reverse by mistake it certainly,scattered the crowd
yes it does...well the body does, it has swapped a few owners s a body since about 1980, now back with tht owner here in wellington, and a long slow restoration starting, still has those fabricated front guards and aluminium bonnet that gave it that distinctive look...
well I can tell you it is the original, it been around the mill, had different owners but he bought it back while living here in wellington in the 80's, rebuilt it with some mods (improvements), then saw the light and has rebuilt it again back to it's original state. I saw the car again just today !! hope that helps.
Can anyone tell me if Peter Bennetts A40 Farina pictured above is the car he still has today, or did he build a replica of his old race car?[/QUOTE]
If anyone has a photo or two of Bryan's Anglia I would be very greatful if you could send to my email address -
ellwoodusa@yahoo.com.
I worked with Bryan in his last season with the Anglia then his first Tasman series with the Brabham Climax but most of the pics I shot have been lost.
Currently I have a LHD Anglia up here in Virginia, 105Es are pretty rare in USA, I only know of one Broadspeed example based in Florida and racing in some vintage events.
Cheers, Grant E.
Amerikiwi - this is from the latest Classic Car magazine and may put you one step closer to that photo - "One of Bryan's old Levin mates, Murray Whitehead, now owns the ex-Faloon Anglia 105E, still in its original livery..." Article is by Michael Clark. Allan Walton is the editor and his email is editor@classiccar.co.nz
You can probably track it down through them.
This is a great collection of first class photo's thanks for sharing.
