Lovely little car : Ivy Stephenson in the ex-Ross West, ex-Ron Rutherford Lotus 23B : Paul Fahey and Dennis Marwood checking the programme behind, and the Faloon Rorstan Brabham in the pit bay.
I am not 100% sure, but I think Ivy owned the car when Ross drove it. I will ask him when I next see him to be correct.
That'd be great, OF. Where is Ross domiciled these days ? My brother used to give him a bit of a hand with his Lotus 7.
Must be circa 1967 or 68. Looks like the late Ross Atkins and me in the background with Bryan, I got into the track under a tarp on the car trailer.Originally Posted by Steve Holmes

The following photos are from a historic racing event from the 1980s.
On post #29 the photo showing the 1931 replica Indianapolis Studebaker is the car that has been found and going to be restored. This was built in the mid 70s and tragicly the owner was killed when driving the car on a vintage rally in 1984. Thanks for the photo Steve as I will pass that on to the restorer for reference.
Cheers

Bruce I have a couple of shots of the car at Ohakea in 1982, have been posted on TRS, but will repost them if of use to the restorer, loved that car, it was a real treat to see it at Ohakea.

Great photo's Steve, is the RAL the same car that Fordy Farland, a stalwart of the Manuwatu Car Club, and supporter of Manfield owned at one stage, vaguely remember him in something like it at Manfield / Ohakea in 1982. ??

Sorry Roger, I wish I knew! Someone here will surely have the answer though.
