Steve, I notice that each print has the same words about Beechey at the bottom

Is this some form of security for you?

This car was the lowest powered ever to win the ATCC

It had been preceded by four Jaguars and was followed by five Mustang V8’s

It is incredible how much ATCC winning cars have changed.

This car had only 130 horsepower and 5 and 1/2 inch tyres..........

The Neptune Team normally ran with #2 for Manton, #3 for McKeown and #4 for Beechey at all circuits except Warwick Farm.

You can see from the above that it numbered strictly down the page in...

John, if it was a white car it could have been NZer John Ward at Catalina in 1968.

The crash was fatal as he wasn't wearing a seat belt

What happened to the Bond Healey?

I recall the regulations may have changed requiring it to brought back to more standard.

Bond went on to race a Bolwell Nagari.

Ray, won't anyone who dies in their eighties have had their motor racing legacy end at least twenty years earlier?

This lightweight E type was sold in Arizona in January 2017 for AUD 11 M (including buyers premium).

Unfortunately Bob only got AUD 80 k for it when he sold it back in the day.

I absolutely love these fabulous photos of Mk 1 Escorts. Probably my all time favourite race car.

My son had one in Sydney about 5 years ago. It was only a 1300, but it sold to a guy in Ireland....

What an absolutely incredible starting list for that 1962 Sports Car Race.

To mention just a few names, Masten Gregory, Jack Brabham, Bruce McLaren, Roger Penske, Joakim Bonnier, Innes Ireland,...

No issues at the moment.

Thanks again for the descriptions

What has this got to do with the thread title?

Fantastic to see this restoration. I was worried it wouldn’t happens as well .

I have the Models 56 version of this car and it is probably my favourite.

Not sure about the Swiss cheese look of...

Ray, as I understand the international regulations were adopted in full in Australia for 1962 and 1963.

This included weight capacity formula of 1,000 cc cars had to be 882 lbs. and 1,000 cars had...

Thanks Roger, it is just frustrating, but I guess I'll have to live with it

Is it just me or do others experience long delays in their replies appearing on threads?

On other forums such as TNF and ten tenths the appearance is almost...

Any update on the status of this amazing car?

In the original F.I.A. Regulations for Formula Junior, under Article 3 para f "For cars constructed before 1962: the braking system and principle (viz. drum-brakes or disc-brakes) must remain the...
