This is an entry list from the Warwick Farm meeting on 5 December 1965. The numbers don't match but it does show the three Neptune Racing Team cars.Originally Posted by Roger Dowding
Neptune racing team Mini and Mustang [ Beechey ], not sure of the other Mini though ..
On their way to a meeting - from Fb page Old Australian Motor Racing Photographs - well worth a look.

Milan, thanks for that - I would like to post the entry list and the advert on the Australian Fb page - with appropriate acknowledgement ..This is an entry list from the Warwick Farm meeting on 5 December 1965. The numbers don't match but it does show the three Neptune Racing Team cars.
Interesting that Alan Moffat - was Canadian at that time, and in his pre Mustang Days - he ran Lotus Cortina's in the USA as well, with Horst Kwech, a European - Australian who finished in North America, Moffat the other way around.
Think Ken H has posted stuff about Horst on other threads.

The Neptune Team normally ran with #2 for Manton, #3 for McKeown and #4 for Beechey at all circuits except Warwick Farm.This is an entry list from the Warwick Farm meeting on 5 December 1965. The numbers don't match but it does show the three Neptune Racing Team cars.
You can see from the above that it numbered strictly down the page in order. Only the unlucky #13 was omitted.
If there was a Division 2 race the numbers continued from Division 1. Not that they really liked Division 2 races.
It was no place for favourite numbers. You had to have a good supply of peel off numbers.
It was very "pukka" and English, the influence of Geoff Sykes. It was not for nothing it was called "Aintree Down Under".
