I recall this was only the second meeting for Matich in the Brabham.Originally Posted by khyndart in CA
Whoops,
Perhaps I should take the time to read the question properly !
Here are 2 photos of Jim Palmer at Mount Maunganui. Dec. 1963. (One photo thanks to Milan Fistonic. )

It arrived in Melbourne by ship, was trailered to Sydney, and given some practice laps at Warwick Farm short circuit.
Shortly after it was in its first race meeting at Warwick Farm on December 1, 1963. This race was the Hordern Trophy.
Matich and Stillwell were dicing for the lead when at half distance they tangled and both went off. Stillwell recovered to finish 4th.
Matich then shipped the car to NZ for the coming 1964 Tasman Series. He entered this race as a warm up.
PS isn't it nice to have a genuine historic thread rather than the fluffy stuff that plagues this forum.......
