I agree Paul, an amazing feat to have this very significant celebration down racing in NZ.

I think Formula Junior is a wonderful class, and fantastic to see how you can run the same car in many parts of the world.
Perhaps I view it so highly because for many of us it was our first introduction to proper single seater racing back in the distant past.
I recall Warwick Farm meetings that included the following amongst others:
Leo Geoghegan - Lotus 22
Frank Matich - Elfin
Kevin Bartlett - Lynx
Glynn Scott - Lotus 20
Les Howard - Nota
Attached is a recent newsletter of the Australian Formula Junior Association, which includes wonderful stories on member's trips around England and Europe.

There are some great photos of these cars recently in NZ as part of their world tour on the Nigel Watts photo thread, in posts 799 to 816.
UFORTUNATELY still no details of make/ models which would be so informative for those of us deeply interested.
My favourite terry were the many lotus 18s that were there, and martin bullock drove fantastic in a lotus 27
If you're deeply interested, the FJ race results are on mylaps. If you're even more deeply interested, get over to natsoft for some detective work, the results of the Barbagallo and Sandown meetings are on there including the makes and models, and in most cases the cars have held the same race numbers throughout the tour.
