No.10 is Don Macdonald's twincam Brabham BT10, No.9 Peter Ransom's Lancer
Thanks David, fantastic! Re the Lancer, I can't tell from this photo because the women crouching between the two cars is blocking the rear bodywork, but were the rear mudguards integrated into the bodywork, or bolt-ons as per the front? From this angle it appears the rear bodywork fans out rearwards to cover the rear wheels.
On the dummy grid at Levin, Frank Gardner in the Alec Mildren Brabham, and Jackie Stewart in the BRM. Gardney controlled the race from the start, broke the lap record by 2.1 seconds, but the transmission failed two laps from the end, gifting the win to the second BRM of Richard Attwood.
David, I was being a lazy git and referring only to the Shell Annual. Thanks for the correction.
Clarks Lotus getting its push-start out onto the Levin track.
Same event as above, moments later as the field files out onto the track.
Looks to be the Jim Palmer Lotus team in the pits at Levin. Can anyone confirm this?
The number on the nose in the background looks like 41, so would assume so.
The gentleman with the black glasses on the very left of the photo certainly looks like a Palmer (George I guess). Jimmy looks just like that now.
Jackie Stewart's BRM gets a push start as it enters the race track at Levin. Didn't these BRM's just have the most fantastic rear bodywork styling.
it always had rear bodywork covering the tyres...originally with a boot which was shortened to a flat cut off...I have photos taken not long after Peter finished the build at Admiral Hill-climb...during my ownership the only body work changes were radiator slots on the top of the nose....I wonder if it is still around?
Hello Perry,
Terry Leighton and I were actually wondering if you were still around...pleased to hear that you are. Last I heard of the Lancer it was still with the chap who bought it off you. I can't remember his name but I used to see him driving it in Wellington. Now believe it's in Nelson.
Regards,
