Thread: Some old photos from the late 1960's at Pukekohe

    Some old photos from the late 1960's at Pukekohe

    Thought some of you may like a couple of the slides I've just had converted to jpeg format. These were taken by my folks. I'd be more than happy for people to comment on them.

    Tasman / NZIGP 1968? Jim Clark Lotus, Amon Ferrari?

    Surely that's the lineup from the January 6th, 1968 NZGP David, Clark on pole. Last couple of races before Lotus adopted the GLTL livery.

    Great clear photos, Interesting to see the people in the back ground of old motor racing pics. Standing at the back of the Leo Geohegan car in red shirt and blue shorts is the late Peter Bruin.

    Also, sadly, Jim Clark was not with us in 1969

    That's Frank Gardner on the left chatting with Denny in the pits at Pukekohe. Actually, looks like Tony Shelly between them in civvies, as well.

    Sorry, my mistake

    In my haste I only went back three photos, all of which were 1969. I missed the grid one, and though the 1968 reference was to the Lawrence McLaren. Teach me to take more time...

    Really no call for an apology mate, after all the wisdom you have dispensed on this and other fora (?)

    Just that it caused me to froth, for a moment...

    Lovely colour in those pics from Puke, so thanks for sharing, Habu.

    Thanks GD66 for clarifying, the drivers of the era I only know from other photos, so it was just a guess, and I think Attwood would have been at the same event? Will update the caption.

    Is the Baypark one Ulf Norinder?

    I think it may be the Spectre of Ron Grable

  15. #15
    Indeed, Norinder and his gold Lola T190 only appeared for the December 1969 Bay Park meeting and ensuing 1970 Tasman Series.
    The Grable pic is from Dec 1968.

  16. #16
    Ahh, I thought Id seen pictures of the Grable car before - makes sense now, Ive just had a quick look in my Wolfgang Klopfer book, and there it is on the first couple of pages. Seeing it in colour was a bit of a surprise. Thanks Lurker and GD66!

    I'm really enjoying these Allan, keep 'em coming! Here is the one you posted on the Allcomers thread. Deserves to be here.

    Heck, I don't remember the E type racing with the saloons, but I was there, so must have seen it and photgraphed it.

    How many times did Beechey race his Nova in NZ? I knew he raced it at the Bay Park December 1967 meeting, but he must have raced it twice in late 1968 also. The pic below shows him on the grid and you can see its a different line-up to that posted above, and includes Rod Coppins in the ex-Geoghegan Mustang. Black is on the second row next to Beechey, but his car doesn't have the Lexington sponsorship yet. There is no stripe running down the centre of the car.

    And here are both Black and Beechey at the same event as I just posted above, where you can see Blacks Camaro doesn't yet have its Lexington signage. In fact, its possibly still painted yellow here?

    Scott Wisemans E Type. Had a high mounted wing on it. I only remember it coming to Puke once but saw it a couple of times at Baypark.
