Is the Cortina behind Palmer the one of Gerald Hrgraves that he rolled during this race?
Yellow HK Monaros raced in productions at this time were- Jim Palmer, Brian Scobie, Charles MacIndoe.Will check to see if these are all the same car
According to this page the Cortina is Ross Hore from Nelson/Blenheim..
