Remember seeing [Barry Brown]? in a cream or lemon 1650 Anglia at Ruapuna where he opened the boot and inside was the muffler which he went on to remove, the front pipe fell onto a strap and there it sat all day while racing. The tail pipe exit was at the same level as the petrol filler but in the other side.

Arrive at Craigmore, throw everything out of the car including rear and LF seat along with muffler and leave it all with the girlfriend and picnic lunch. 50 -60 cars and 5 runs at the hill then everything back into the Anglias and down to the river below the hill for a few beers and a swim to get rid of the dust before heading home. Great days weren't they Sprague the younger one.

Was that a Palmer & Doak car? ^^^^^ not many hot Anglia's had GT badges as they were deemed a bit over the top!

Good one Ken .... love the green Anglia ....my first Anglia was an E93a....... I had just turned 15 Dad found it on a farm in Hampton close to Moeraki our family weekend retreat we visited when there was no motor racing , the little ford popular was running on 3 cylinders had green leather seats [factory] & was in need of a paint job to boot I had been saving for years .. $150.00 came from mowing lawns [cash paid] I was so proud of It [the car] ,I tell you it went as fast backwards as it did forwards provided the road was icy enough & the hand brake was adjusted ..lol..... & the story goes on : ask the Dunns & Parmenters ...from Timaru they have better stories lol

This Anglia in the British Special Saloons and Modsports series is a little different from what I used to trundle around in.

This Anglia Fastback was on trademe about 5 years ago.
These are the same pics from the ad.
It was under $2k, took a long time to sell- as usual, people complaining of rust instead of seeing what it actually was.
About the same time was also Anglia -not a Fastback-with 289 went for $1950.

I was at Timaru back in the 60s, working as a mechanic (OK gofer) for Bryan Faloon, saw your brother Gary's chop top Anglia, very impressed so when I got back to home base of Levin hack-sawed 12cm out of the roof height of my ex Ross Atkins 105E.
Can't recall the exact year but remember meeting Bert Hawthorn there in one of his rare race meetings down under.
