After talking to Allan Freeman{90yrs.}the front opening says its Davisons ,,only the bulge on the side{ carbs,}looks wrong.

Yes , It was apparantly when Dave Simpson owned it, Now when Gary bought the T/Cam Escort to do the NZ saloon champion ship Ernie slotted the T/cam into the Anglia & tried it only to find out it was slower, mind you it was never highly developed. When we ran two Anglias in pre 65 , a few years ago , a few tried to head us off in T/Cam cortinas only to find out they spent a lot of $$$$ to get no where near our light weight well tuned little cars same thing was repeating history.......

I see the Sprague Anglia is a pushrod - wasn't it a twin cam in earlier days?

An interesting photo of the Sprague Fastback Anglia, not sure OSH would approve and we have a near case of indecent exposure!

Brings back good memories, this would be about a yr or 2 after the anglia was bought from Frank , as it has the large center white stripe, Erinie always thought out side the sqaure , re the jack lol , in the back ground to left looks like Leo , to the right Merv Cottle , brother of Barry............ part of the wills....... & B&H gang ....

I am trying to find a way that I can present the very small images taken from scanned 35mm negatives so they can be seen at a slightly bigger size without distortion. As these are of the McBegg I thought I would use these as a test.

[color="#0000FF"]Post #31, Pretty sure top photo is the Neil Stuart V8 special ( The White Car ), now 'blue' and well known as ' Henry ' down south.[/color]

Some of these in the next two posts I either do not know, or am unsure of, so I wil leave them to the more learned amongst us.

Fred Zambucka, Maserati 8CM.

Another great shot of the Freeman Talbot Lago.

Roycroft Ferrari.

Tom Sulman, Aston Martin BD3S.

Peter Whitehead, Ferrari, 1954?

Citroen Special.

The Sprague Anglia, in the background Gary is chatting to Leo Leonard while Ernie and either Speed Richardt or Peter Wilson are under it. The size of the thighs suggest that it is Speed rather than Pumpkin. Can't think who the one in blue is

Pretty sure the #66 Chevy coupe would be Ron Sylvesters, the example he rolled a season or two later, and the one that pre-dates the Sylvester family still own.
