The no 24 car is the Grecian Gold Roy Griffiths GT-HO Ph 1 and I am guessing the HO behind is a Brambles Red car but not one of the factory race cars,don,t who the driver is-Ellis and Stephen come in...

The" K-Mart" petrol cap in lieu of the original GT cap was a sure fire way of inducing spillage down the rear quarter but the glue on the original 3M stripes would hold up well unlike the repro...

Hi Ellis.I remember those beautiful Brambles Red XWGS rally cars staging through Brisbane and they were great looking cars complete with the crew wearing the corporate pale blue overalls with the...

That is a terrific account of the Elfins history and the car is obviously in very good hands today.

Great work Stephen!

Pete.

Hi Ellis,65E must surely be out there somewhere.I presume this was the car that hit the wall at A.I.R. and the damage was certainly repairable.It is always going to be the one that got away.

Pete.

I found a shot of Norris doing his slow roll at zero feet.

The ex John Goss Ph3 was sold off to NZ after JG converted over to the XAGT Hardtop,does anyone have photos of this car?

Pete.

A great spectactle was the sight of his tow set up which consisted of his Silver-Fox GTHO Ph 2 hauling the enclosed trailer with the MRC aboard.Now a Ph2 is quite a lumpy beast just propelling it...

I think the fellow with his back to the camera is the late Lionel Ayers,the famous Racing Chemist also from Brisbane.

Regards Pete.

Fantastic research Stephen,it is great to get to the facts on these cars from so far back.

Regards Pete.

Wow! that is a great looking Italia,would have an impressive power/weight ratio I expect with that awesome intake setup.Thanks for posting Ellis.

Regards Pete,

The guy with the camera is Bruce Burr from the Burr and Daniel Performance Centre who owned and prepared the Goldpower sponsered PH3.

Found this photo in an old copy of FORD by Stewart Wilson with an interesting pair of shots.The top car is obviously sporting the XW mirror and interior.Perhaps they had a pool of cars with the...

I always said Phase2,s flew......now we have the proof!

Pete.

Note the XW external rear vision mirror giving away the cars PH2 origins,I did see Moffat driving a similar car at Calder early 72 which would indicate even the factory updated previous seasons cars...

67E was ( I think) Yellow Glo with a white interior which was an unusual PH3 colour combination and I remember looking at 13D in the pits at Bathurst 1972 and it had been painted a wild candy dark...

Great info,thanks Steve-imagine running a genuine Grand-Sport in open competition!All credit to the owner but JB did very well up against some formidable opposition.

Pete.

Oh Wow! I feel like a starving man at a free smorgasbord,what a mouth watering array of machinery,those beautiful C2 Corvettes are stunning.Does anyone know if John Bowe competed there over the...

This was the Service-Station site on the corner of Hamilton and Newman roads at Wavell Heights ( just around the corner from my parents house ) which is a northern Brisbane suburb,where the Neptune...

The current owners run the car regularly at historic events and it does sound magnificent thru those lovely side-pipes.

Pete.

Hi Ellis,thanks for posting those great photos-the engine bay is a delight,I once heard that Waggot made less than a dozen of these exotic heads with use split between Speedway and Ski-Boats.

Pete.

Nailed it Rod.

Hi Stephen,I will post another similar shot at the same spot but I am almost sure this was during the actual ATCC but you may be able to comment with your excellent knowledge on this period.A lot of...
