I've left the stuttering out of the riposte...

Coppins may not have had stellar results in the car, but it was quite a beast in its' own right, and at Bay Park at Easter 1968 appeared with Gurney Weslake heads and an audibly-delightful eight-into-one exhaust with an oblong collector pointing the wicked howl left just in front of the rear wheel....HORN !!
Yes, good point, it could well have been '67, as he and Fahey raced there that year also in the ATCC, at Lakeside as you've said.
