The yellow car is an earlier model Nova to the one Norm Beechy had, and is a more recent 'historic type' race car.

Thanks David, I couldn't remember Rod driving the Tec Mec with the single seater body as it was when Mansel had it.
Yes the Lenny Gilbert Coper Bristol sports, I think Bert Jones drove it a few times, maybe prior to these photos. The Maserati 250F is the Brian Prescott car with a young Richard Sisler assisting in...
This time the #141 Mustang is Coppins! #1 McLaren with shovel nose is Ron Grable.
Absolutely awesome photos, bring back a lot of good memories.
The elusive Mr Griffiths in the BRP, actually under its own power, a rare occasion!
I can remember Rob Campbell of Hot Rod Magazine showing me a sponsorship proposal from Kaye Griffiths for the BRP...
Yes, it has been mentioned a couple of times in the recent past in NZ Hot Rod Magazine, I think Rob Campbell tracked the remains down somewhere in the deep south.
Great photos again, thankyou.
The #141 Mustang is Johnny Riley in the ex Geoghegan/Coppins car.
I can see this thread getting away from its original intent, to promote and provide news on the HMC.
The valid discussion on the running of historic events should perhaps be taken to a new thread?
Yes you are correct, it would be Vince Anderson. Drove the car in 1967/68 season.
Same car IIRC, but a bit too early. Kerry Grant.
I think there is quite a large thread about the RS500 and their histories on the TNF forum. Short of attempting to unearh my great stack of Autosport magazines from the back of my storage container I...

Here are a few RS Cosworth photos from the 1988 BTCC at Oulton Park, Good Friday, April 1st. Cold and damp, and I think the first round of that seasons championship.

These photos were taken in 1970, there were only 15 saloons registered at Stratford in 69/70, so I guess he is one of these cars, but numbers are almost imposible to make out. In the second photo...

No, it wasn't a Johnson car, and all his Sierras were red anyway. It was at the BMW festival in very original condition.
I didn't even notice that! I am still not convinced its Riley though.
I am tempted to say Johnny Riley for the Monza (Corvette), but it dose not look like him, so Bill Thomasen.
Brabaham TC is Andy Buchanan.
Minis turned over quite often, so could be anyone although...
WOW! Great stuff.
Jim Boyd?
If I recall correctly that incident was on the bit of video from Levin that was posted back about 12 months ago.
