I am curious to know what happened to the BRP64/Ford that came to NZ for the 1970 series and ended with the unenviable finishing/starting record of Kaye Griffiths Levin (DNQ) Pukekohe NZIGP (Ret) Wigram (DNQ) and Peter Huges Teretonga (DNS). It is shown in some parts as having been sold to Peter Hughes but I have a feeling that this is incorrect as when Peter raced in F5000 he was in a Begg FM2.
Nick, car looked very nice, went well, but expired on Saturday.
Whose car is this? I took it at Bay Park in late 69, but I'm damned if I can recall who it is.

If he didn't make an impression on you that weekend, you must have been on holidays with a new girlfriend !
'Tis Graham McRae in the Crown Lynn McLaren M10A.
Alchoholic haze, I think. The party the night before was quite intense.........
Same meeting perhaps?Attachment 15478
With luck another pictureAttachment 15479
Great pics, lovely colour : are they from slides ? Jack Inwood at work outside the fence in the bottom pic.
Must be the early December meeting, as it's only a small field.
McRae, #14 Lawrence : #8 might be Cary Taylor in the Brabham, and#39 Peter Hughes in the Lotus 25/33, #7 Peter Moloney in the Cooper and #19 John Nicholson in the ex-Lawrence BT18.
Indeed it was. Mine are from slides - about the only time I took them, unfortunately. I might even have some 8mm movie somewhere I'll dig out - or perhaps that was the Norm Beechey meeting, with the Chevy Nova.Quote:
Same meeting perhaps?
Not F5000, but Peter Hughes Graeme Lawrence and "Fat Jack" at the same meeting
Whoops - no - Peter Hughes must be at a different meeting......damn memory is not what it was.......
Yes, it was a shame I am sure it will be running down there again some time!
Yes GD66 those are from slides.
I have been searching through a lot of old negatives from when I first started taking motorsport photos and I have come up with a few that may be of interest.
The quality isn't that good but they are always fun to look at after all these years

Nothing wrong with those photos Ross, every one a gem.

Ross just jolting my mind, but did you have a Mk1 Escort white and green way back.
No not me Rod, you may be thinking of Dennis Green who was also a keen photographer.Quote:

Thanks for the comment re photos - I will continue to add more soon as I have digitised a
good number now especially from the mid 70's, but there are a huge number of shots I haven't
even looked at yet up to the early 80's.
"The quality isn't that good..."
These are wonderful! I am seriously struggling to remember the livery of the M4A by then.
Here's another shot taken around the same time to jolt your memory MichaelQuote:

Here's another lot from a bit later now that we are in the mood.......

That should do for a while, hope they are of interest
Wow these are just stunning Ross! I especially love the opening shot of Reg Cook in the T300. To my mind this is the best profile of the T300. Out of interest, the second car pictured which appears to be Robbie Francevic, what sort of car is this?
I believe this is Robbie Booth in the Begg - Chev FM4Quote:

By the way, is Robbie Booth related to Andy Booth?
I think they are father and son
Thank you for posting - these pictures are exceptional.
Correct Ross, after Andy had a drive of a F5000 at HD with Murphy last Jan he stated 'Dad you are a real man'Quote:
