Sorry, been a bit busy.
John Richards in the locally built Lotus 15 replica followed by Bill Caldwell's Lola which is being monstered by Donelly's HWM- Thunderbird.
Well if all the Chev-engined cars were powered by Corvettes then the Ford engine must have been a Thunderbird!
This is the last of them. Hope you guys enjoyed them. My thanks again to Rhys for sharing this great collection.
Steve, thanks for giving the opportunity for others to see them. I have recently got back into taking photos, hundreds from Shelsley Walsh last year and others. All I now have to do is learn how to shrink them without spending hours which should be spent on the Lotus 11 replica!

Carrying #25, so could even be Baron Robertson in the Heron...and it's not yet yellow, but +1 for Roy Harrington in the Imp.
Ivy didn't get hold of the Lotus 23B till after Ross West, so more like '69.
I think it's Peter Ackroyd in the Heron, Milan will have programmes to confirm or deny. I spoke with Ross about the ownership of the 23. There is a little misinformation about
The photos are from the April 8, 1967 Auckland Car Club meeting.
103 - Graham Watson
69 - Roy Harrington
25 - Baron Robertson
No, but I meant Ivy drove the 23B in more like 1969. I'm not blind.
This is a trial one, and as Ray told me about the resizer I thought I would try this one from Oulton Park July last year
These were at Shelsley Walsh, I only watched 7 cars go up the hill, rest of the time chatting to strangers. Those who know me will understand!
I am liking this! I could be dangerous now! Ray you have a lot to answer for!

Glad it works Rhys! Yup, can be addictive... I really should be in the garage right now.
Great pics and look forward to more. I have only been to Shelsley twice, first with an ancient camera and even more ancient film, then the second with dad's old standard Leica - and no paddock access.
Great to see these older cars being exercised. When is Chelsea this year?
Rhys,
Even when you do them twice they are still good to look at.
Who said you could not teach an old fart new tricks ?

Oh and this one parked outside here. Anyone a buyer?
