    Well done David, and certainly above and beyond the call of duty! But can you honestly think of a better way to spend a Sunday? (OK, don't answer that).

    Can anyone tell me if Peter Bennetts A40 Farina pictured above is the car he still has today, or did he build a replica of his old race car?

The two FJ Holden's intrigued me the black no. 26 and the green and yellow no. 50, don't recall having seen them before. The sports car image of Spencer Martin I think it was in the 250LM Ferrari, leading Geoff Mardon in the Stanton and Jim Boyd in the Lycoming was cool as were all the others including the Houghton Bay Wellington Hillclimb pics. A tremendous collection, thanks Steve Twist.
    Well put Gerard. Yes, they are taken from slides.

    Some fantastic shots of cars there. It never fails to amaze me that there are still great period photos coming out of the woodwork. Can't wait for the next post.

    By the way, can anyone ID the red Breadvan Anglia in the third photo in the above post, chasing the Ken Bailey Corvette Zephyr? I'm guessing this is the 1966/67 season, so the more famous Breadvan Anglia's of Nazer, Ward/Coppins (ex Fahey) and Radisich (ex Simpson) are already accounted for. Was there a fourth Breadvan Anglia that raced in the '67 season?
