I don't think the guy with the camera in post#80 is Bruce Burr.
I think that is Bruce Burr leaning on the windscreen in post#79.

I will always stand to be corrected Terry, but they look like the same guy to me as well.
I think we are looking at different people, both the gent walking away from the car and holding the camera and umbrella, and the guy in the blue suit leaning on the bonnet, are the same person. their hair is parted the same way
Here's a pic of Ash in "Scorcher" late '68/early '69)Attachment 36993.
Could be him, the nose looks similar, but the hair and sideburns are much more early 70's, and I'm not a forensic scientist.
Opinions, please.

Hi Steve and Pete,
Further to this and Pete's following "now" photo and post #76, Pete, at least, will probably recall, that Neptune station became the Shell Wavell Heights site, and was used as the base for the BRM team with their P261's for the '66 and '67 Tasman rounds at Lakeside.
A mate of mine, who frequented the area in those years, more than once recounted his tale of driving westbound along Hamilton Rd one night during the BRM residency there, and seeing a small low shape with feeble, bouncing "headlights" approaching very fast from the opposite direction. He said he was shocked and delighted to find it was a P261 with a torch lashed to each top front wishbone.
Alas, he's dead now, so I can't grill him on the truth of his tale, but I would sure like to believe it was true and that those were, indeed, the days!
I think you will find that the gentleman who is well dressed is Ash Marshall as he was ,I'm sure, involved with the Soapy Sales sponsorship shown on the spoiler. It was one of those infamous Pyramid Selling schemes around in those days. Dick Watts.
