Lotus Cortina 50th Anniversary at 2013 Muscle Car Masters
For those of you attending the Australian Muscle Car Masters at Eastern Creek (or Sydney Motorsport Park as its known these days) this weekend, be sure to stop by and say hello to the folks at the Lotus Cortina car club, who this year are celebrating the models 50th anniversary.
The club have assembled 11 Lotus Cortina's for display, including a couple of cars with some interesting period race history. Additionally, they've also managed to get some of the original Cortina race drivers along, including Jim McKeown, Leo Geoghegan, Robin Bessant, David Weakes, and Chris Brauer. One of the original racers is the Chris Brauer car, so Chris will be reunited with his old weapon again which will be neat.
Neale Bayliss has designed this beautiful poster for the weekend, using some stunning old Bruce Wells photos supplied by The Roaring Season. These will be available for the drivers to sign, so make sure you grab a copy. A definite collectors item.

Great effort Neale.

I made my UK based Lotus Cortina owning friend aware of this thread.

Great work Neale, awesome pics. Sounds like you guys really did a great job. How long did the posters last?

Are there any posters left????

Cheers guys, I cant claim the glory for the event I just helped out a little where I could there was a group of us involved at different levels that helped to make it a great day.
Steve, I don't think the posters even made it to lunch time, a lot had been snapped up before we even made it to the track. Everyone loved them, especially the drivers. We even had a guy from the Hunter British Ford Club ask if we could print an extra 15 for club members that couldn't make it to the event. So Darren & anyone else that would like one, shoot me a PM & I will try & get one to you.

What's the "Real deal" about #6?? Dr John Uren raced the original model, no 'orange' in the sidelight/turn signals.. that came in on the later model.
The 1964 Silverdale thread on this site shows a "realer" deal.
