Team Cambridge Monaro

Hey John, awesome, you the man.

[Steve Holmes]

Here it is folks- what every well dressed Escort and grungy MK2 Zephyr used to wear.-
Attachment 32428
After the discussion on the Team Cambridge Mustang of Paul Faheys, and Kens interest in missing out on being the only Kiwi having one on his tool box, I started looking
I have completed my research on the Boss Andy sticker.
This was started by John W Andrews Ford, May 1970 just after Ray Stone started there.
Boss synonymous with the high performance Ford Mustang, and Andy is self -explanatory.
Boss Andy follows the success of Super Roo, Road Runner, Cobra, Super Bee etc.
Staff there incuded-
Mr G Greenfield, Chris Moon ,Gerry Chambers, Bill Barlow also involved with this.
Final design was Sam Harvey and was registered as a trade mark.

More to follow here.

Thats AWESOME! Great investigative work there John!

What a shame we cant turn the clock back to 1970. What a fantastic group of saloons. If only motor racing was like that now.

John,
Thanks for the "Boss Andy " sticker information.
John Andrews Ford had better material to work with than what we had in Hamilton at Fairview Motors in 1971 when
owned by Herbie Dyke !

[Jac Mac]

looking at the list of entries there, one legend isnt there- JacMac.

Oh , I am there all right, not in the entries though, you just have not looked hard enough! Sometimes things are so clear that you cannot see them!

Most of the mustangs had expanded to 302cu in/5000cc by the look of it. This might be the meeting that John Rileys car ventilated the block in the last race, could be wrong on that though.

[Rod Grimwood]

John, I would be a starter for a couple. Had them years ago on Escort.


Jac Mac, which Anglia.

[Jac Mac]

Clever boy! the middle one. On the right of pic is Murray Kelman with super trick brake ducting, not sure of the Mini.

[khyndart in CA]

Ken- I am getting some left and right Boss Andy decals done for the XA Coupe.
Would you like a pair for your collection also ?

John,
That is a very kind offer and most appreciated but I would like to donate my quota to Mr. Rod Grimwood.
ok ?

Sorry,
He is much more deserving than me.
He did not run away and abandon his homeland like someone I know !

After meeting you last year Ken and the great time at Laguna Seca, better keep your spare room tidy, you could end up with a boarder, never too late cobber.

Austin Prattley in Cooper S

Don't think so, Murray & I would have had trouble catching Prattley, more likely one of the Invercargill lads, that pic would have been taken at one of the 1969 club meetings.

One of those meetings where your entry fee was refunded at documentation prior to tech inspection and then your points/placings were tallied up for the day and prize money paid out before you went home, you see back then the clubs realised that without cars and drivers they actually had nothing to get the public to come and watch, plus we/I raced in the overalls we wore to work on Friday and the car only had to have a fire extinguisher- no roll cage ( I did put one in that Anglia, probably one of the first to have one in a road car, no WOF issues with fitting it! ) -No COD- no trailer- no pit crew- no rain tires etc- that Anglia was my only source of daily transport and that thought of having to go back to a pushbike to work was not pleasant, so I/We tended to drive with that in mind... although I suspect there are still a few armchair experts around who would suggest that I tended to test those boundaries at times!

Rod,
This is not a bad "neck of the woods" but we may not be able to cover all your needs. I will tidy the spare room.

p.s. do not tell John.

Also check this out as well.

Ken, can you get a better focus & enlargement on the motorbike, cant quite identify the model,or read the I.D. no,

[khyndart in CA]

Sorry Kevin,
I did not want to get run off by the TRS police !
You can Google ( gilda texter photos ) and let me know the correct I.D. number. I might have to make more room at my house !
That other photo was taken just across the road from home. (It shows the competition I am up against in my Mini Cooper !)

Found this old super8 video with some Cambridge saloons in it at Puke. Around 1970's? Any use for seeing colours etc?

Good old Norm, what a star he was.

Nice catch by Roy Harrington in the Escort, giving the marshals on Rothmans a bit of a workout...

[Roger Dowding]

Fine clip, thanks for posying it.
Who is the white Anglia pilot loosing it exiting the hairpin?
Certainly a good showing of Cambridge cars.
Shame Fahey wasnt allowed start where his performance dictated to give us all a chance of a head to head with Norm.

faminz thanks for posting the clip, not a good place for the marshalls, now that would be near the pit entry road ..

[SPman]

Amazing how many cars went off over the hill - small Fords a speciality!
