Somewhat of an irony that Grant told me the nose on the Capella was moulded from a Brabham when originally built.Originally Posted by ERC
Ray, you are right, the front engined cars do appeal a whole lot.

D - non-British race/sports racing. I forgot I had a section for some sports racing cars, so they will be slotted in now and again.
Dallara

Devin Chevrolet - colour converted to black and white and it looked better after a play with the contrast.

Daimler - if anyone has a real name for this, I'd appreciate it. I have only seen it the once. I can only file it as a Daimler Special, based on the grille!
Dallenbach
Dick Jones Special
Donner Dykstra
That's Ian Garmey in his cooper at the back of the queue. I asked him if he remembered the car and got this replyD - specials

I’m sure that is the Daimler Special built by Don Ammon who lived then not far from where you are now, on the road between Kopu and Paeroa. Don moved to Nelson some years ago and I often wondered what had happened to that car. That looks like Don in the car. It will be interesting to see what else results from Ray’s appeal on the Roaring Season. Quite a nice looking car.
The event was the Auckland Domain Hillclimb held on May 1, 2005.
I have it down as May 7th 2006! Thanks for that Milan - and Ian. Great use of a Daimler grille too.
There was a Domain Hillclimb on May 7, 2006, but Ian has a certificate from 2005 and can't recall competing there more than once. Maybe his memory is playing tricks with him as it does for many of us these days.
The joys of digital photography Milan! We don't have to spend hours and hours doing intense detective work - to find the date anyway.
Definitely 2006, 1:11pm. Gee, life would have been so much easier when cataloguing over 400 negative films and goodness knows how many slides. My problem with Dad's stuff, and some of my own, is that he would often peel off a length of bulk film stock in the works darkroom, load it into a cassette, which therefore meant no frame numbers or any other identification. It also meant that there may be 18 negs on the film or 40!
Dad also had a collection of about 625 cameras and wasn't averse to swapping a part used strip of film and reloading it into another camera, then back again, whilst also running another roll of film. This meant accurate dating of a lot of his stuff was near impossible.
Fortunately, when I grabbed his Leica, which I used for several years, he wasn't taking many photographs as the family had grown up.
