Photos: The Alan Smith Collection

[Milan Fistonic]

A real mixed bag this one, and typical of Allcomer racing of the period. All I know about this photo is that its from Levin, from the 1966 season. I can see Rod Coppins' Zephyr Corvette in the background, but whose is the blue Anglia closest to camera? Dave Jurie raced an Anglia that looked quite similar to this, but I've never seen a photo of his car in this colour scheme, or with this number. Can anyone help?

I had to ask Greg Stokes about the '32 Ford coupe. Greg is a leading authority on old hot rods, which naturally spills over into hot rod race cars. Greg thinks its probably the old Garth Souness car. Obviously Souness was racing the Morrari in 1966, so its likely not him here. Greg thinks its possibly Ed Jensen?

What can be seen of the date looks to me like Dec 65 which would make the date of the meeting 27 November 1965. If that's correct car 60 was C. Everson from Auckland.

The only Ford Corvette entered that day was driven by K. McGreal also from Auckland.
