Rindt himself would lose his life in practice for the Italian GP in 1970. When Chris Amon is asked if he felt unlucky to have never won a Formula 1 race, when coming so close on so many occasions, he rightly points out that he was in fact one of the lucky ones, to have survived such a deadly era.

I was at this race meeting. I recall seeing Rindt's car in a workshop front window as was a few of the other GP cars in Invercargill. I was working at Bluff for 6 months at the time...was so enthralled by their high wings of that era. Was such a priviledge to actually see these things in real flesh. Oh and that Mk 1 Consul was actually quite away back from the track on a little "side road" access point. Photo has created an optical illusion a bit I think......great pictures thanks. Kind regards, Tony Rutherford.

1969 Wigram programme lists 117 as C J Roberts - ex-Bryan Harvie car, as I recall

I don't have the Wigram programme, but others from 1969 list Car No.117 as Colin Roberts from Wellington in an Austin Cooper.

Brilliant. Thank you for clarifying this.

No Steve, the Rorstan Mini of Gordon Edwards was a metallic turquoise, same as on Dennis Marwood's Brabham in the pic below of Simpson's Escort. Also seen on the Eisert Marbles drove.

They must have had a bit of that paint mixed up, as Edwards put the Mini on its roof a couple of times, not easy !

A bit of a mix here, including Fahey, Simpson, and Neil Doyle in the Anglia Corvette.

by **Steve Holmes** » Fri Mar 22, 2013 1:03 am

Simpson and Richards

Here is Anderson again in the Lexington Cooper S, while the next shot has his team mate Spinner Black in the Camaro being harassed by Gary Sprague in the Anglia.

Thanks Steve-its all good now.
Just an anorak note-boot design of Simpson is same as when Crosbie had it following year.
Any one know how to contact Brian Crosbie nowadays?
