That they are Steve, just goes to show `how cool is old school!'
Fantastic photos, Ross.:D
My first exposure to motorsport was being taken to the B&H as a kid in the early '70s - the FIAT 125T and Charger are my abiding memories.:)
Remember the Bruce McLaren Trust has 100,000 photographs running from the 50's to the 90's. They have owned these for 14 years now and have been steadily scanning and cataloguing them.
Ok so from topQuote:

Ross, keep on boreing us, brilliant stuff.
I second that .................... Thanks Ross
No boredom here...
Found these in a Auckland Car Club magazine November 1988, not sure of some but some one will know.
1st looks like it is a Rotary powered sports, and someone is after him. Then Datsuns and Commodore is I think Torkler.
This was a National meeting.
The first one looks to be my father in his rotary Chevron...
More from meeting.
Pullman in Falcon GT Coupe, followed by Vern Muller.
I know the Escort which is followed by RX3 of Murray Higgins, obscured Commodore, and Commodore Torkler
Dave Smythe in his quick little Escort a nice car this and he still has it parked.
Bob Cullinane in his RX7
And Barry Algie in his Monaro followed by Bruce Manon in his real quick turbo Escort.
And the Minis, Burton and Heron at it again.
Don't know the other mini
Believe this is the man who now plays with the Alfetta and a Cologne Capri in between other cars. He was quick in this Porsche championship and won it.
Gordon Burr
not quite Rod! Pulman followed by George Sheweiry in a Genuine Cobra coupe (#211) not Vernes converted XA coupe. lol
This is another I discovered, Kevin McNamara at Bay Park
There you go got first reply/correction in record time, of coarse George, completely slipped the mind your Cobra, never could keep up with what you were/are in, cheers cobber. PS told Banner to sort his out the other day as well, gee they hard work those boy's.Quote:
