Barry Robinson was my hero, he really got that chevette going, nice to see something different from the usual heap of escorts.

Great picture thanks Bob and Steve, the colour is way out though as it was the blue of the previous pictures. The body is as we picked up from Governors Bay but it was in a much more deteriorated...
I did it last night as per bry3500's instructions thanks. I'm learning new skills computer wise all the time on this site. I've got quite a few slides I'm cleaning and scanning that may be helpful...

Thanks for that, I'll give it a go.
Great work Steve,
this is an iconic car, I remember it as the Spencer Black car progressing to Rod Coppins at Bay Park and Pukekohe, great times and great cars in those...
Hey 105 anglia, you're a guy with considerable roaring season skills, how do I copy a photo from one thread to another, there's a picture of Neil Doyle in the breadvan thread that I'd like to put on...
Good shot, thanks.
Good shots.
Thanks Steve, I'll try that site, I'm lacking skills when it comes to playing with pictures, but I'm prepared to persevere and see what comes forth, I have some good pics of Alan Boyle's Viva and one...
Yeah you're right Rod I can't remember a house anywhere near the track and I flag marshaled there a few times from around "69 to '70. Woody, the guy who supplied the slide said it was at Bay Park and...
This is a great collection of first class photo's thanks for sharing.
This was the same meeting as #77 on this thread which was taken from a Shell Motor Racing Yearbook that they produced. It was either '67 or '68 when Brian Foley came to Bay Park, I've searched google...
Bay Park
Is this the photo you were talking about fastback? Is that Ian Donald in overalls?
Yeah I have that photo, got it from the "Old Race Car" site, it certainly looked rough in those days. I'll have another look as I knew Neil but didn't know who the others were. Thanks.
Car on the headstone is much as #64 on the Anglia thread when it had the fastback but no roof chop, also much the same as the roll over picture on this thread. I have a feeling that Murray might have...
# 65 in the Anglia Thread from fastback mentions Tinwald Service Station and Murray Elwood and Ian Donald as builders of the car
Yes they are aluminium, they are riveted in places as you can see in the attached photo. I know Murray Elwood worked on the car, I don't know if he did the body work. The body work is well done....
I have watched with interest the debate regarding replica's and restorations and I can see merits from both sides of the fence. I particularly like the comment by one contributor who said of the...
Bay Park 1968? Mini men is one of these mini's Brian Foley? I particularly like the look of the car at this stage of it's racing life. I have a colour slide of the car taken at the same meeting that...
Thanks for that, I'd like to see as many photos of the car as possible and each one helps a lot.
Ha ha you're right, it sure is a crap picture!!!!. Actually looked better before the scan took a harder look at the folds in the paper instead of the picture of the car.
The picture that we looked at when deciding to see whether the car existed. As you can see by the well fingered picture the magazine was a regular reader in the toilet.
I'm sure I have some slides of your car, I'm buying a cheap slide scanner so I can put some photos on here, I only hope the quality is reasonable. I'll let you know when I've got them ready, sort of...
