Red Cooper 500 at Levin is Graham ("Gray") Richards. Graham is still competing regularly but now in a Terrapin. In the 70's the 500cc cars (which by that time had no class to race in) raced with the early Formula Vees.
I'd like to know more about this Marina. Was it one of the Heatway rally cars? It's wearing Aussie TC badges, has the Aussie wiper pattern, but doesn't have the TC's opening front and rear quarterlight windows.Quote:

That is brilliant, I have often wondered about this car, I had only ever seen this viewQuote:

But then stumbled across that 3/4 front view in a file I did not know I had so its now good to know a bit more about it.
Would like to get more information about Judy Hanbury and Mary Carney and the ex-works Marina GC1. The only info I have found is that they drove the car to 27th place in the 73 Heatway, and to 12th in the 74 Northland rally.Quote:

One of the two Marina's had a V8 fitted at some time and was badly crashed. Unsure if it was GC1 or GC2 ..

Vaguely remember one of them at Bright Road, the Pukekohe Car Club's Bardahl series Hill Climb in late 1979, think it fell over on the top corner.
seaqnmac ; just refound this thread - some great photos !! Thanks, Mate.
Coincidence or what ?? .. this today from Nigel Watts of TRS photos.. the Marina at Baypark in 1982 Graeme Parks car V8 powered.
