WOW!!! Thank you so much for posting. Brilliant photos
Such great photo Milan, thanks so much for posting them.
I recently came across these colour negatives from Baypark in 1979. Even though the negatives were slightly "compromised" after all this time I have managed to get something passable out of them and believe they are worth preserving and sharing.
A huge thank you for your efforts here, magic viewing.
Pretty sure the Red RX3 in last photo was Rod Millen and the car went onto be a rally car for a short while until the new Mazda Dealers white car was finished and then it was taken over by John Woolf.
This is an earlier shot I posted of the car. It was Steve Millen driving the Mazda instead of the XU1 he was entered to drive.
Har ha ha, Frosty5, good one, I like it!
Engines have pistons and run on petrol/methanol/lpg/etc, motors have armatures and run on electricity, eg 12 volts/240 volts/etc!
PK.
Now this was along time ago but pretty sure Rod driving as helmet and seat position is him. Notice the Marchal lights advertising and Duckhams, they were among the first backers/assistance along with Giltrap and AC Gills for Rod and rallying, The 1st RX3 was blue and this car was built in between that and white car straight after this which had bigger Duckhams across back guards.
The red car did not do much at all, before it was sold.
In your photo Milan you can see the sump guard still fitted, mud flaps and the wheels were on it when John Woolf rallied it.
Car below is the blue one note lights

Found this photo courtesy of Ross Cammick of red car, sump guard, flaps, wheels etc. this about 1st event for John in it.
The programme had Steve entered in the XU1 number 100C and when the car was changed for a Mazda numbered 100B I thought it must be Steve driving. But I've just checked the Motor Action report on the race and the Mazda was driven by both Steve and Rod. Overall results weren't given but the Millens finished third in Class B behind Paul Adams (BMW 2002) and Glenn McIntyre/Phillip Bevan (RX3).
