My 3 pic's above were taken by Martin(Jack)Dabishire, he'd get photographers pass's to Baypark and he'd get me in as long as i held his camera gear while he took pic's, so here's the both of us, kids about 16/17 at the time, out in nomans land gettin ready to run just incase one of the race cars lost it!! snappin pictures away!! thought it was pretty cool at the time!!

Neat photo Craig! Keep 'em coming. That would have been taken during the 1974/75 season, the first year the car was run, and before Robin Officer added the box flares. Check out the Sidchrome Tools Landcruiser in behind.Quote:

Been some amazing photos on this thread, many of which I've never seen before.
Hi guys, awesome to see some great old shots of the old beast, cheers.

I don't think it did race again Bruce. And yes, it was a good price, considering around this time a front running Sports Sedan such as Wayne Huxfords V8 Capri or Inky Tullochs similar car were lapping Manfeild in around 70 - 72 seconds, as a complete package it would have been hard to beat.
But it didn't sell, and it got even cheaper. Here it is still for sale in 1983, less engine:

We really didn't like old race cars back then did we.
If only, oh wait, I did buy one didn't I.
Brings back good memories of some great racing. I was at Baypark that day. And being a Ford fan it was fantastic to see the PDL Mustang which had been around for some time beat Moffats Monza (being the latest machinery from the states) in all three races. Moffat was from happy! The saying was true that day, an oldie but a goodie! :)Quote:
