Many years ago Peter Bruin asked me to print this photo for him from and old negative he had.
Thought it may be of interest....

Wow! Staggering! Is that from the 1966 NZIGP meeting Ross?
A real mixed bag this one, and typical of Allcomer racing of the period. All I know about this photo is that its from Levin, from the 1966 season. I can see Rod Coppins' Zephyr Corvette in the background, but whose is the blue Anglia closest to camera? Dave Jurie raced an Anglia that looked quite similar to this, but I've never seen a photo of his car in this colour scheme, or with this number. Can anyone help?
I had to ask Greg Stokes about the '32 Ford coupe. Greg is a leading authority on old hot rods, which naturally spills over into hot rod race cars. Greg thinks its probably the old Garth Souness car. Obviously Souness was racing the Morrari in 1966, so its likely not him here. Greg thinks its possibly Ed Jensen?
I have a feeling the Jurie car was tan. I believe it ended up in the creek that ran along by the old pit entrance.
Wow! Scary. I think there was another photo somewhere on this site of the aftermath of that crash. Might have been one of Mike Feissts pics.
Tony Gilbertsons's amazing little Minisprint, captured here during the 1967 season. What happened to this car? Does it still exist?
And another Mini based special, but this one a road car pictured in the pits. Anyone got any info on this?
John Wards Lotus Cortina at Levin. Check out the neat of '56 Chevy in the background.
Spotted in the pits at Levin, pretty E Type Jag. Kinda looks like that trailer is hitched up to the back of it!
