    Hi there David, I'm not actually sure. I don't have any pics of cars that look exactly like the one Mark has posted above, but there are some cars in the collection that share similarities, and I've not seen many photos of the car before to do a comparison.

    Here are the next batch:

    Steve, Car number 5 in post #35 is the Noble Special in its last bodywork version (of about four variations?), it still has that number 5 on its bodywork today, plus the high-mounted mirrors. This image is before Russ Noble added the large McLaren rear wing still in McLaren gulf colours that George Begg brought back from England (which it also still has...) The Ford decal on the car's side refers to its Reg Cook 2-litre SOHC Ford screamer engine. - David Manton

    That is John MacDonald in the car at that stage. I had sold it some time earlier. John's company was Intelex, which also sponsored the series. John fitted the larger wing.

    Thanks David. I thought that could have been the same car, as the bodywork is similar to the pic posted my Markec earlier in this thread, but I still wasn't sure because the rollcage is different, as is some of the bodywork at the windscreen area.

    Thanks Jamie, that would be great! I do recognise several of the cars, but would really appreciate your input, given your history in sports car racing. Would really love to know what car #39 in Post 37 is?

    Hi Steve,
    They are great pic's
    Post 30 & 35 car 9 is Warren Steel in Rhubarb 5.
    The Brabham we pulled apart to build the Rhubard would be worth a small fortune if was complete today
