-ruapuna early in 71 that is no leo in the middle fm2-
Ruapuna Park- March 14 1971.-not a Leo in sight.
I have found Russell Thomson running FM2 number 64, 2nd in Scratch race .
Also was Neil Doyle FM2.-looks like 55 ?- 2nd in Feature Race
Ross Williams was in the ex Leo Leonard Begg FA.Ross won the Handicap race
All this is in Motorman May 1971.
Is this helpful here?

In case anyone is still interested in identifying the cars in Garry Simkins' photos here is the entry list.
Roddy Brent & Leo drove the year before in a different 3.3 ....... this was when Brent sadly got killed in the Begg Sports car , Then Ernie & Leo teamed up , in the 2nd car
