Photos: The Keith Growden Collection

[TonyG]

My brother has just sent me these through to try to clean up for him. All Slides that have been scanned, some good , some not so good but all history.
Just a few tonight, and will drip feed more through as I get them cleaned up a little if I can.

Derek Hall Mustang. Will follow up on this later as I know there was a thread here that mentioned the Mustang that was entered in a longer distance type race when it first arrived and there was pictures. I remember it saying something about the numbers being reversed eg 41 / 14.

Rod Coppins Zephyr or Allan Lim - Keith says Allan Lim. Also has K & L Motors Tuakau on gaurd so would be more of a match to Allan. If so I have certainly never seen it before.

Have received 75 scanned photos so far with a lot from 68? and later with Formula A's at Baypark, Sports Cars, Mini's, XU1's. Some shots of Red Dawsons car with just the #35 on the door.
He says that there are more to come as he gets them scanned.
Anyway I will gradually get them posted as I get the time at night.
Enjoy !
Regards
Tony

Jim Richards in the Leckie Capri

Just to clear things up for anyone who wasn't sure, this photo was taken after the nasty Manfeild event where the Bill Leckie V8 Capri caught fire (and Red Dawson rolled his Monza), and Bill was badly burnt. Despite appearances, the Capri actually wasn't too badly damaged, and was repaired fairly quickly, to appear here at Pukekohe a few weeks later. However, Bill himself had yet to return to racing, still recovering from his burns. But, luckily, Jim Richards had been having problems with the Sidchrome Mustang, so drove the Capri.

Despite the Capari being a 4.2 litre class car, JR actually broke the outright saloon car lap record, held by Jack Nazer in the V8 Victor. It was a really quick little car. Too bad its racing career was cut short.

Nazer Escort, Palmer Porsche, Dawson Mustang and Coppins Camaro - bit blurry and colours pretty shot but still a good memory of what the racing was like.

That's Jim Boyd in the Stanton Corvette.

Yeah, I just had a closer look at this photo, I should have looked at it a little closer, but Mardon clearly has a white helmet.
