Mark, incredible photographs! Thanks for sharing. I'd never seen these photos from Teratonga before. Amazing.

David, yes, the very same.

It seems the rear wing was different at nearly every event! I'm not sure where the below was from. Pukekohe?

I've seen another photo in Wolfgang Klopfer's "Formula...

1972 Laguna Seca L&M Grand Prix program. Note the prize money. A pretty nice payday for 1972. I believe that's David Hobbs in Carl Hogan's M10b. Though the picture is in the 1972 program it's from...

OF, it's all about perspective.

Here's another model. Dick Smothers (entertainer) and Candy Martin (Riverside International Race Queen) with the AIR Dave Jordan Eagle #512 at the start of the 1970 race...

Great photos Nick! And a great job on the car.

Eagle MK5 #511 recently resurrected in Colorado. Wonderful job of rebuilding the ex Davey Jordan ex Swede Savage Eagle # 511.

In 1969 the AIR team of John Crean and James Garner purchased 3 cars...

Hi Steve,
My mistake, it's actually the Goodwood Revival. The FOS is the hillclimb. (I edited my post to correct it).

I haven't watched any of these DVD's but a quick google gives me the "gift...

Here's related F5000 video of Jay Esterer at Goodwood Revival in 2011. Jay also has two McRae GM1's that he has raced around the globe. I believe he won last years Lady Wigram.

The video is not...

Hey Nick, great photos! Hopefully you'll get a chance to record the audio (at least) of the dyno run. No need to publish the numbers though :cool:11351

Here's a pic of the M10B at it's last race...

Thanks for the video link. Amazing how old some of the cars were that were competing that year. Particularly liked the start where the race was on but the pace car was still trying to exit the track!...

Yes, the McLaren M10B (ex David Prophet) has been owned and raced by Bruce Leeson for many years. Bruce is an Australian living here in California. One of his incarnations was as a motorsports...

I think it was just the time that ran out for this event.

Steve,
Yes it was but he's brought his other GM1 over from Canada. I'm going to say (having seen the gearbox through many corners) it's equally as fast as the one he lost at Feilding.

There are...

I've thought all along there should be an FIA registration process for "replicas", "recreations", and "resurrections". A chassis plate is not a car.

I believe FIA doesn't want anything to do with...
