Yep original bench seat. Think this changed after a well known car dealers seat collapsed in the car (Falcon?) he was sharing with (I think) Dick Johnson later on in B&H race.
The Red Falcon GT in the photo is the Greymouth Mptors car of Jim Kennedy that I was responsible for looking after back at that time ,this was before it got its upgrade before the Southern series of the same year
OK, moving now to the 1971 B&H event, and this is from the Golden 100 race that preceded the B&H race. The Golden 100 required only 3 examples be imported into NZ to be eligible. The race was won by Richard Brocklehurst in a Torana XU1. This is another of the XU1's, possibly the Roy Harrington car.
Photo from down the grid, don't know when, recieved on a disc with a load of other old classic photos from 70s.
One of the Monaros in the support race. Can someone ID?
Post #32-Andersons car without the saw blades painted on the number.

I have always thought that the Monaro 76 was Tom Russell from Wellington. Someone who has access to better info than mine might like to correct me.
Allan
I dont have this mag yet.
On my Monaro site #371, Allan, you suggested his name, no one has confirmed this so far .
I will keep looking for our unidentified pilot.

Sorry I've not updated this thread for a while. I'd been playing with the images, trying to lighten them up, but without losing the quality. They're superb images, with so much going on in them, but they're very dark, so I was trying to get a balance. Anyway, I failed, but will keep posting these, having done the best I can.
