The unusual bodied Connaught on the front row;
The Lesley Marr Connaught that came to NZ and raced at Ardmore and others tracks [ including here ] in 1956
Had this photo from Graham Woods archives.
Some interesting photos from this event;
Not even at the track, but were they going to ? or coming from ?
Car - Race #1 Aston Martin finished 2nd
Car - Race #3 The Peter Whitehead Ferrari finished 4th
Note that it has the roundels on both side of the nose - presume for left hand or right hand tracks depending on where the timekeepers were ??
