This batch includes David Oxton's gorgeous Begg FM5 before it went to England and was repainted black. This car now resides in the Southward Car Museum. I thought it looked better yellow, but Begg switched to black in an effort to change the teams fortunes after several unlucky races in Europe.
Also in this batch are Pete Geoghegan's amazing 600hp 'Super Falcon', in one of its last ever races in Geoghegan's hands, and painted in yellow Grace Brothers colours which appeared towards the end of 1972. Plus there is Rod Coppins in his ex-T/G Racing '69 Trans-Am Firebird, which Roaring Season member Bruce Thompson now owns. This shot was taken during the Coppins/Firebird NZ Saloon Car Championship winning season. This is the season Bruce has restored the car to.
I believe the white Chevron B24 is that of Steve Thompson? Is someone able to confirm that?
