    I guess the Consul is the same Phil Rudd raced for a while, was stored in a hanger at Tauranga airport last time I saw it.

    would he be the smaller one, both top blokes

    he also built a Viva little bit like Ralphs and it was black and lime green as was his hair with the safety pin in ear to finish it of. Very clever engineer JT
    JT......John Thorby...bloody hard case critter he was....great competitor...we had lots of battles in my early years..until I leant to use single pulse turbo's as opposed to split pulse which was best for 4 cylinder cars...then he was a blur in my mirror, along with Jim in the modified VW! Regards, Tony Rutherford.

    Comaro #3 is Robbie Farrar, of Safa toolboxes fame. The other Comaro is obviously Dave Baker

    The yellow/black Mk 1 Cortina is my old Cortina cobra, in the hands of the original owner Jim McComb. The Comaro #17 is Bruce Jenner in the ex Coppins car.
    A small side note about the Cortina. Jim told me at the time of purchase that it had the ex Fahey 289 in it, and a photo from the Shell Motor racing yearbook of c68 where Paul is looking at the engine backs this up. However, in another thread, when talking about the Kennedy Capri (which I think is the one shown here), someone spoke of putting that engine into the Capri. Confusing.
    That's the ex Fahey Mustang in Rod McElrea's colours #147

    Loving all these photos Lindsay, keep 'em coming!

    The Camaro #91 is John Riley in the ex-Joe Chamberlain/Dennis Marwood Trans-Am car.

    These are great. Farrar and Baker raced these 2 Camaros in the South Island Supercar races. Farrar raced this Camaro in some GTX Races and I think this is the car today that is bronze and has Crown Court sponsorship on it. Bakers car is this the beginning of the Big Brother Camaro ?. I have never seen these photos. Help me if I am wrong.
