    I think there may have been a bit of time sitting around waiting for the TV people to get organised so I had time to photograph a few of the competitors.......

    True, but not quite the fashion crime of the Ashley wallpaper covered cars of Kevin Smith & Jim Robb.

    Those are great shots Ross, love the profile shots of the boy's sitting in the 'office'. Howdy still got his beard but different colour now and Cookie still looks the same ( well kind of), bump into them occasionally.

    That 'cat' Blair Robson sitting in casual style of his back then.

    John and Grant, what a pair of neat guy's, still think of them.

    Great stuff. Loved the earlier set with a great range of cars. Sunbeam Alpine, MGBs, Triumph Vitesses and the later pic of the Dolomite Sprint with wheel arch extensions, various clockwork frogs etc.

    Wonderful photo's of Cossey's Farm. Once a superb event venue ( with a jump even ! ) , now a sealed road lined with houses.
    I will take some photo's from these points of view over the xmas break and post for members who enjoyed the track in the day.
    Thanks for posting these Ross

    Hi Ross , It would seem that facial hair and natty hats / outfits were the order of the day in the 70's :-)

    In order to show a few people I have just roughly copied this short snippet of ( silent ) 16mm film of a night time service break for the Fiat and Masport Teams in the 1977 Radio NZ Rally.
    Note the denim caps and other fashionable items worn ( love those Masport jackets though )
    That's Jim Donald with the extra large sideburns working on getting the front wheels to point straight again.
    Ari sure did a number on that poor car ! It's a tribute to the crew to have kept him in the event.
    This looks like it's in a service station forecourt and it's probably the night before the Mystery Creek stage.
    Although this is low - res footage at the moment I will have it professionally transfered in the new year
