Hi Steve
Nice art work on these amazing cars. Must admit, I wasn't aware that you were an artist as well as a writer. They remind me of the work of Martin de Lange, who like you tried to capture...

Hi Terry
Thanks for filling in an important fact that had me puzzled. I was aware that Barry Seton raced the car - based on race reports which indicated that both the Geoghegan GT Cortina and the...
I believe that Graham and Trevor were both aware of the Lakeside rollover, but not the Lowood one. Trevor probably didn't think it was worth mentioning, when he was interviewed for the Lotus Club...
This is the car I am researching and the car that raced at the NZGP event in 1965. The car was bought from the Geoghegans by a Queensland amateur racer, by the name of Frank Melit - who was quite a...
Hi Ken... it was neither of these. See above.

Thank you Milan, for confirming a missing part of the Geoghegan Lotus Cortina's racing history. It is only due to forums such as these, that are frequented by a large number of highly knowledgeable...
Hi guys
Thanks for the positive feedback... and don't worry, more are coming!!!
Just so you know, the first image was from 2008 and taken with a Nikon D200. The next image comes from 2004...
Decided recently that I needed to go through my old Goodwood Revival photos (2004-2008) as a bit of a personal project and put together a book of images. I thought it would be a great opportunity to...
Well the first one is mine and is generally not available in this format, without my website watermark running across the image. The image displayed was linked to your photobucket account, so I can...
Hi Ellis
Whilst I know its been a long time since this was posted, but it would have been nice if you had indicated where you got these photos from and given due recognition to the photographer,...
Hi Steve
Prints look good. As your name is on them, am I correct in assuming you painted the originals??? Are they all mono, as shown or were they originally painted in colour??? Must admit, they...
Pete... I think you will find car 22 is John Harris... with both cars entered in "The Lakeside 1500" event for Production Touring Cars, on 29th November, 1970. As for the Valiant Pacer behind, its a...
I know it was quite awhile ago, but there was a thread on Can-Am cars where the Shadow AVS MkI Chevrolet was mentioned. I knew I had a photo of it somewhere, but couldn't find it at the time. As is...
Thought other members might like this... if they haven't seen it before.
An amazing piece of footage of Mike Hawthorn doing a lap of Le Mans in 1956 in a D Type Jaguar. It's incredible to see the...
Here are a couple of photos of the Bob Tweedie Sprint at Silverstone in 2005, not long after it had arrived in the UK.
As for Martin White's Sprint, I will post some images soon.

These images are superb and I can only say it is a great shame that Bill didn't continue on with his motor sport photography, as he had a great eye for the subject matter and would have had quite a...
Hi Lee
Not sure if this helps, but there is a gentleman in WA who recently contacted the HRCCQ looking for information on his 1964, 2 door, Consul Cortina GT, that was used as an Appendix 'J' car...
I know where their Black Lotus Cortina is... but not allowed to say just yet. Its a genuine Lotus 'A' arm model and definitely not a converted GT. It will be stunning when completed!!! :-)
Now... getting back to Goodwood, here are a few shots of some of my favourite cars.
427 Cobra with hardtop.

Aston Martin Project 212

Shelby Cobra Daytona - there were two there...
Hi Steve
As GeeBeeNZ has indicated, this is Jack Brabhams original Speedcar... the one he used to win the Australian Speedcar Championship... and just to prove it, here they both are on the cover...
Thank you Michael for your comment... although opportunity and being able to get to the right location, certainly do help in getting a good shot... not to mention some reasonable equipment and a...
These cars really do epitomise the old addage... "There's no substitute for cubic inches"!!! :D
As ther was also some interest in the older front engined single-seaters, here are a couple more......
Due to earlier interest, here are a couple more of the larger capacity cars.

Just so you know what you are up against, here is a shot I took a couple of years ago. Will try to put up some more recent images later.
