    The Mike Feisst Collection - Part 2

    Name: Mike Feisst 2.jpg Views: 1664 Size: 113.0 KB

    Continuing this fascinating journey through Australasian motorsport history with the incredible photographic collection of Mike Feisst, we move to Part 2. This part is split fairly evenly between Australian and New Zealand photos, including Warwick Farm, plus several interesting inner city street shots in Australia, as well as a few Rallycross images, and several from Pukekohe. Enjoy them folks, and feel free to add captions.....

    Does anyone have more info on Reg Cook's Mini?

    And is this the Ken Smith Lotus from which Max Pennington purchased the wheels and motor for his Escort? http://www.theroaringseason.com/show...ace-Cars/page2

    Look how easy it was to get up close and personal with Graham Hills Lotus. Do you think you could get that close to Sebastian Vettels Red Bull?

    I believe this is the Hairpin at Warwick Farm?

    The Willment Escort Twin-Cam has only just arrived in NZ here, and still wearing its UK signage.

    This batch includes a rare shot of the Lawler 'Faltang', the Mustang powered Falcon XP coupe, a very early Australian Sports Sedan, known at the time as 'Sports Racing Closed'.

    I always thought Pete Geoghegans Mustang looked best in its Castrol colours.

    Note the extent of the wheel arch flaring here on Geoghegans Mustang, and compare it to how the car looked when both Coppins and Riley later raced it. The car was excluded from the results in the first round of the 1967/68 NZ Saloon Car Championship because of its wheel arch openings, not long after Coppins had acquired it. MANZ were really reading the new Group 5 regs to the letter of the rule!

    The Australian shots were taken at the end of the main straight at Warwick Farm. This was the Tasman series race in February 1967.

    I always thought that Leo Geoghegan's Lotus looked fabulous in the Castrol colours as well as the Mustang

    Note the increase in cans in the foreground as the day wore on.

    Is that Frank Matich in the beautiful SR3? Hard to tell with his head down.

    The #6 Repco Elfin 400 is that of Bevan Gibson, who was killed in this car at Bathurst in 1969.
