    Time for another addition to the Mike Feisst photographic collection. Again, this is another combination of of quite massively varying subjects, including road cars, the Australian Waltzing Matilda jet truck, and both New Zealand and Australian race cars, including F5000, rallying, and touring and saloon cars.

    Included here are Alan Mitchells BDA Escort, Paul Faheys FVA Escort entering the old Pukekohe dog leg, Andrew Miedecke's March Forumla Atlantic, and Baron Robertson. Can someone ID the Alfa? Andrew Miedecke went on to enjoy a successful single seater and touring car career during the late 70s and 80s, and now races a '69 Camaro in the Touring Car Masters series which supports the V8 Supercar championship.

    Here are Norm Beechey (Nova) and Pete Geoghegan (Mustang at Sandown, plus a massive field of bikes at Pukekohe. Also in this post are the F5000s of Americans Bill Simpson and Bobby Brown. Brown was a prominent amateur racer during this time, and also competed with some success in Can-Am.

    I'd be interested to know if this is the same Bill Simpson who founded Simpson Performance Products, the company that produces, among other things, racing safety belts, helmets etc? Simpson did do quite a bit of racing during the '70s.

    Any info on the first shot in this post? Art McKee owns the silver Chevy Monza, having just imported it from the US. Roaring Season member aussiemonza now owns this car. Also in this batch is Bill Leckie's very successful Sleepyhead V8 Capri. I posted this car in the Lost race Cars thread, hoping to find out if anyone knows whether the car survived?

    Hey Myles, I don't thing AMCO72 will ever run out of stories, so you'd better start now! Do you have any pics of that panelvan? The '70s look is making a comeback you know. Kidney bean mags, lake pipes, embossed white writing on the tyres, etc,

    Heres your Minor. Pretty wild little car for sure.

    That first shot I believe is the Rothmans Cooper at MOTAT painted to look like a McLaren Tasman car.
    Now thankfully running again and back in the Rothmans colours without the lettering.

    It was badly damaged at Manfeild and Leckie himself suffered burns, but it was rebuilt and back racing again only about a month later at Pukekohe with Jim Richards driving, where he broke the saloon car lap record. Leckie sold off the F5000 components after the '77 season, and sold the body with all the molds to a backyard junkyard owner in Papatoetoe in Auckland. The new owner said he was going to get it running again to race, but it was never seen again.

    OK, Chris Amon Ferrari plus a trio of Clyde Collins images including the Mini Cooper and Falcon.

    Actually, come to think of it, I think the Mini Cooper is Robert Stewart, not Clyde Collins.

    Mike labelled the first image here as being David McConnell. Also in this batch is another shot of the March 701 David Oxton ended up with after STP's Vince Granatelli bought his own Lotus 70 from under him to give to Chris Amon. The Escort TC is that of David Simpson, which is I assume the same David Simpson that won the 1966 NZ Saloon Car Championship. Next two shots are Dennis Marwood and Denny Hulme.

    Did Collingwood run the Coppertone Alfa for a short while. It ended up in New Plymouth and raced in Sports Sedans in mid 80s with (I think name was like) Stefan Sebling or like that. Think his son has raced FF for couple of years and Toyota single seaters of late. Anyway it was a nice car and quick.

    OK, Derek Bell is driving the Tom Wheatcroft (of Donington Park) entered Brabham Cosworth, while #33 is Derrick Williams. Mike has captioned the RX3 as being Don Grindley. Can anyone help here? I thought with all the signwriting it might have been Rex Findlay. The final photo I don't think even David McKinney can help with!
