It's true Ken. It was there in 2005 and so was the stone marker originally placed at the crash scene. There's a house there now (well for probably more than 40 years at a guess).

Ken,some great stuff hiding in those 2 groups of photos isn't there.Certainly worthy of more enthusiasts knowing about them. Glad you enjoyed them.

Not NZ or Oz, but British soil. Links to a couple of great period Aintree photos of the RRC Walker Moss Cooper.

Steve, good to read Dave & Nick are keeping an eye on things. Also thanks for confirming the car came from the Valdez estate. Do you happen to know when please? Simply for my records.
What follows...
The Warwick Farm photo of Moss passing Brabham's stranded Cooper is also published (although cropped) in the 1964 Bill Tuckey 'The book of Australian Motor Racing'
Here's another Aussie mag cover...

Steve, That would be great if you can confirm it's previous owner/whereabouts and when it was acquired would be good too please.
David and Nick would be wise to have a scratch around autopics...
Nice work Milan.
I'd still like to have confirmed if possible whether this car came out of the Valdez estate please?

I'm assuming Nick Topliss has recently acquired this car from the Valdez estate in the US?
I know that this car was in the Lukey museum at Phillip Island in 1981. The catalogue for the venue has...
In original form this car doesn't have the greatest of history.
I remember around 1988/89 the vice-president of the Mini Club I was involved with here in Melbourne, worked on this car for Bill and...
Milan, thank you for confirming those details.
Stephen
Great photos Milan. Thank you for showing us.
I take it that Bill Stone's Cooper is the ex Denny Hulme T52? If so, that should mean the rear wheels are the original style fitted to the first...
Geoffrey, it's not an exact science, but the Glass's Dealer Guide 1960 - 68 list the NSW registration plates for 1966 as DZL to EJE prefixes. So EFP certainly fits into the Crott/Geoghegan timeframe....
Good news Roger.
Roger, if all it is a cut and paste effort, then their card needs to be marked 'Could do better'. So indeed point it out.
It is of course another classic scenario whereby once something goes into...
Roger, your information makes it very much a case of either Sandy not looking for new information or whether AMC used her information from the book with due credit. Regardless, you guys who raced at...
Terry, issue 72 from Feb 14 is the beginning of the 6 week cycle. I didn't notice immediately, but by early June 14 issue 74 was out and I realised something was going on. I don't know officially but...
Nice finds Ken.

From what I have noticed, quite a few of AMC Sacred Sites features have the advantage of relying heavily on features written years earlier for the now defunct 'Motor Racing Australia' magazine...

You guys have got ahead of me, but Ken honest mistake on the T45/T53 that Michael has already clarified what went on.
Given the Cooper shape evolved through the T41/T43/T45/T51/T53 period, it...
Ken, I gave Mike the links, but I suspect because of his business interests he might be a bit short on spare time to visit TRS often. But you never know.
