Some oldies I scanned from a friends collection, the slides were starting to gather moss! All good stuff though.

And from the McLaren Festival
Was the #165 Imp pedalled by a bloke called Peter Levett ?
The Jim Richards-driven Sidchrome Imp was not the Harrington Imp, it was originally raced in dull Imp red with a white roof, I think it was owned by Brian Patrick.
Peter Levett - yes it was.
Sorry to put this up twice in a day, but it deserves to be here as well. The first (a far as I know) outing of the Rod Collingwood Mini now owned by the Foggs - a terrific car then and it still is.
Wasn't the Levett Imp an ex-Alan Fraser team car from the UK?
Love to know if that Mk3 ute in front of Graham Watsons mini is around still, what a neat wagon.
I took this shot at Pukekohe back in about 1967
........the PDL Minis, were beautifully presented for the time,seem to remember one 'Tripping' over and showing up next day with a vynal roof, they also had some real trick components,Roller Bearing 5 speed G/Boxes,which if you study the Book of 'Urban Myths", may have come from some 'Factory' Minis, that had been in the Country...that may have gone home with empty case's, Literally ..............Ring!!Ring!!!David,UK calling..???????????.............regards thunder427/MJ
This is the former Collingwoood Mini at this year's Hampton Downs Festival of Motor Racing, taken by the festival chairman Jim Barclay. The good-lookin' blokes are Rod Collingwood and forum member Amco72, aka Gerald Fogg. The car is a credit to all involved.
Oops
I see at the top of this page a photos of Alan Boyles purple and white Mini. I presume that this was the colour scheme he was referring to. Does anyone have a contact address so that we can get him onto this site ??
Phil Horrobin might have some info about Alan's mini?
Amco powerplant
And lots of carburettion from a Broadspeed example.
