Winners were Leo Leonard/Gary Sprague Charger. I must have disposed of most of magazines from late 70's in a house shift so this is all I can find so far. Damn!

I see I had noted positions at various distances, and Pedersen/Oxton Leyland P76 was leading at lap 157. I wonder what happened after that. Oh, turned page and there's more. At lap 174 Wilkinson/Harrington, Phillips/McLean, then Leonard/Sprague. Then at lap 267 it was Leonard-Sprague/Phillips-McLean/Pederson-Oxton. That may have been the final positions as programme showed 9 hours duration, not an exact number of laps and 267 laps is about 960 kms - close enough??

2 Entries did not start, the second P76 - Hogg/Marriott and Bryan Bate/Bob Donaldson Cortina. The winner covered 270 laps. The Oxton/Pedersn P76 probably would have won, but at 5.30 a front brake caliper had worn through and welded itself to the shoe. The stop to replace the whole caliper unit cost 8 minutes. That is according to the report in MotorAction
