More assistance from you SI boys
Love the seat position in the Anglia, all crouched up with all that grunt going through.
This must have been in the real early days of Clyde developing the Cortina, check out the pose, and John boy up his date.
Is this the original V8 Corolla that Trevor crowe built.
Theres got to be a story behind this.
Grid for a distance or production race I would think. Notice Fiat in background with Henderson Central Motors was this Mr Radisich
More grid photos, who/where
2nd photo looks like Nazer Escort to left.
The red Escort in middle of 3rd photo looks like the car from before at Levin with Wayne Huxford on the door, did he venture south for races ?
OK boys confirm these for us
More of SI boys at play
What, who, when, where.
2 different cars can pick 3 in first photo
It was obviously pretty wet.
Again What, Who, Where (yes I know its in the grass)
Think negatives were reversed for these ones.
Single seat action
Sabre, Teretonga, McCutcheon?Originally Posted by Rod Grimwood
Is the other Barry Keen in McBegg, Teretonga?
That was my thought on the McBegg
Second pic is Ron McPhail in his Escort. This would also be Levin 1973, and teh Escort in the background, the then ex-Nazer one, drien by Malcolm Coffey just before he wrote it off.
I am guessing with the Escort, but here goes Frank Ryan Escort, Bruce Jenner Camaro and Paul Kirk Buick engined Viva.
Cortina Jim McComb?

#141..Crowes Corolla in last pic
#142... IIRC Dave Baker in Plymouth or was it Peter Knight, in a grudge match race or part of a 1/2 hr race series that included Brian Crosbie in the Firebird , Jock Freemantle BMW & others... might have been a story..often was !!
#144... McPhail Black Escort in pics 1&2, Lin Neilson in ex Carney/Richards Escort TC #221, Row 2 LH Escort with black bonnet Frank Ryan..
#145.. McCoomb/ Hargraves Cortina Cobra 289 & again inverted,Hargraves got credit for the rollover after minor contact with front wheel of Aitkens Mini, met him thru a mutual aquaintance @ levels about 5 years ago and had a good yarn for about an hour over lunch ..
#146... Bottom pic Ron McPhails datsun 1600... this car was used by several OSCA drivers to keep points up while their normal steeds were out of action for mechanical reasons
#149... IIRC Paul Kirk in the yellow Farina/Ford power.
The Sabre, Ainsley Murray, Peter Kocis, ? could have been others, think Bill Crosbie had one at one stage & that is Teretonga ..

Have photo of firebird (not good) so that could be it in 1/2 hr race #142.
Did Frank Ryan get car from Huxford, as they look like same car.
No, Ryan and Huxford raced against each other in 1973, which I believe those shots to be from.
And the green Corolla is Pete de Lore
Got ya, Ryan left with black bonnet and Huxford in middle with silver front panel. thanks guys.
my computer has done a poo, so checking on mums laptop. May not load much in next week or so.
What else can you guys tell me about that cortina?/ Looks awsome! I do love me a V8 Mk 1 Corty!
