Roly Levis - Lotus 22 - 1964

[David McKinney]

Only a couple of my own very amateurish efforts. First is in practice for the 1964 GP, the other at Napier later the same season. Car was black with a red noseband

Apologies for the quality - I never was much of a photographer.

I wouldn't be surprised if stubuchanan had a colour photo...

Thanks for the wake-up email David.

This is a detail of a colour slide which didn't stand the test of time too well. Seems to have barnacles growing over it, probably a result of moist Auckland climate!




Was this Levis's first run in the car? It was an add-in on the programme.

No, must be either February or March. Those were the only meetings Thomasen raced the low-line Cooper at Pukekohe. I don't have programmes for either meeting - if Thomasen was No.8 at only one of them we could pin-point which meeting it was

Definitely Feb 22nd NSCC Meeting. I used up the whole film - Jim Boyd had an "off" in the Valour (one of several, I recall) and it came back to the pits on a trailer. I will post a couple more pictures tomorrow if I have time.

PS : I see I was wrong about "first meeting in the Lotus 22". It's all such a long time ago!
