Photos: The Bruce Wells Collection - Oran Park - Part 2

Never ceases to amaze me the things some people say, "If anyones interested"

Is the Pope a Catholic?

Cheers

Oh and Steve more of these from Bruce please, really great stuff.

[Steve Holmes]

I did, I found some old (well not as old as these) pics from the last days at Oran Park. That I can post in another section if anyones interested. I always tried to get to as many races as I could out there. I saw so many cars & trucks come to grief on that wall that the old holden smashed into

Would love to see those Neale, do you have anything from the 1980s?

Next batch, still from May 1965:

I love this opening shot. How hard is this guy trying!

[Dale Harvey]

Your last post Steve seems to be a dud. The attachments can't be viewed.
The mini that's cocking a back leg looks like John Harvey's.

Works fine for me! Some real classic shots.

[Steve Holmes]

Yep Dale is correct, I'd messed up the attachments on that last post, but have now corrected them.

[Dale Harvey]

Great stuff, keep them coming.
Dale.

[Lee Tracey]

Great Stuff! Very taken with the Mini shot and the rear views in the first part of this latest lot. I am left wondering though whether the #44 ever had cooling issues.

Cheers

Next batch, and a bit rare to see an Anglia in photo 2, although not uncommon in Aus, these little pocket-rockets were more popular in other places such as the UK and New Zealand than they were in Australia.

Interesting mix in the last set with T type MG, Pug 203, Elan and?

[Steve Holmes]

Thats for sure! Who says racing sports cars, production sports cars and saloons can't mix! The closing speeds must have been scary! But at this early stage, Oran Park had only been operating for two years, and was still mostly a club circuit, with the important NSW events taking place at Warwick Farm. I guess most races here were just loosely gathered grids of anything that wanted to run. Didn't seem to worry the punters though, there must be thousands lined up there!

Pretty neat parking by the other Humpy



#46 is John Hall according to Parkey in Wodonga.
Think I can see name on bonnet .
Always had pretty neat Humpy.

My thoughts are 30 is an Elfin, 95 is a Milano and 25 in #24 is a Buchanan. No guarantees just an educated guess.
