    The yellow single seater, details unknown looks the Wylie Javelin to me, but I have known to wrong before. The Aussie flag may confirm this.

    Ross, OK if I copy that sticker and put on BMC Boys "Ardmore Reunion " thread .? . collecting is a habit, honest but time consuming and takes up a bit of room, I have several Boxes of stickers programs badges patches car brochures form the 60's 70's Pit passes etc, plus too many photographs.
