    Matamata Street races 1964 -65

    Another photo from Matamata has surfaced - John Larry Lawton, a photographer who has posted photos of many events found this one.
    I have put 1965 on the photo - but will check in entry lists etc. The Jennings Fiat, should be a good clue.
    It is 1965 and is part of a series of photos by John, known as Larry, Lawton.
    Will upload those photos soon.
    Some are not good photos as a few spectators head have got in the way, but more from the event.
    Attached to the posting of them are some details which I will include.

    A mixed Saloon field, Anglia in front -the Jennings Fiat in the haybales a Chev ? Coupe and another Coupe -is it an older Ford like Garth Souness ran.

    This photo was posted by Allan Dick in a story about Fastback and other Anglia's in the 1960's

    The Anglia- of Jack Nazer - is this the same car and is this Matamata -** can't quite decipher the Street sign - look at the crowd..
    Race number on the window not on the door like the top photo, and also the stripes.
